I love working with people who love their jobs!
This morning I had the privilege of photographing more head-shots for First Citizens Bank. I have to say they are the nicest, kindest, funnest (is that a word?!?) people to work with!!! Everyone is so cheerful with each other and encouraging of one another. We laughed and joked all afternoon.
Many thanks to Katie for all her hard work organizing the shoot and scheduling all the appointments! 🙂
After receiving the new Nikon SB-5000 a few days ago, I put it through all the rigorous paces to make sure everything was working perfectly, and that I knew what every button and menu item did. This is Nikon’s latest, most advanced speedlight…and it has a few new tricks over previous models. I’ll get into those in a later post! 🙂
Yesterday was my first assignment with the new flashes, and they worked BEAUTIFULLY!!! I was photographing environmental head-shots of new attorneys for one of my favorite clients, Clawson & Staubes.
The images were made with a Nikon D4, Nikkor 70-200 VRII, an SB-5000 on the camera, running as the Master in CLS mode, and two SB-800 flashes as remotes, firing through a 24″ softbox. Everything ran beautifully! The new flash recycles extremely fast…the size is smaller…and the design of the button layout is even more user-friendly than all previous generations I’ve worked with. The best part is, it’s completely backwards compatible with all other Creative Lighting System flashes!
Next, I’ll be working with the new Advanced Wireless Lighting (AWL) radio mode. Stay tuned…
After a long day of debates, lectures, presentations, and discussions…it’s always good to relax and have some fun!
I had the honor of photographing this wonderful corporate event at Tavern on 4th in Louisville, KY, for the US Grains Council last month. It was a really neat location, with tons of games and entertainment for folks to participate in. The resulting laughter and lively conversation was great for team-building and making new friends!
I absolutely love photographing company parties and exciting galas like this one!!!
