    Something a little different

    I did a portait shoot today with the center for one of our local HS girls teams. One of the easiest shoots I've ever done. She was really fabulous! Not to mention that you don't find too many 6'1" girls. These are pretty much straight out of the camera and have not been fully PP yet.

    Lighting: 2 Sunpak 383s at full power shot through white umbrellas and 1 Quantaray 370 at full power with a 3/4 blue gel from behind for separation. The last shot was done with the same 383 flashes only the one to camera left was at 1/2 power and the one on the right was at 1/4 power. No backlight used for that one.

    These were all done with the 18-50 f2.8. The locker room shots were at f8 if I remember right and the others were at f10 or so.

    Not to down your great shots, in the second one I can see a tripod. Other than that, these are some awesome shots, maybe you could do this for the entire team and make some bucks.

    These were not PP at all so there are some background things that haven't been removed yet. As for the team thing, right now I have 22 teams at various levels that I do all of the T&I for.

    That is awsome Daniel.....

    I have had a few people come to me and ask if I would do some private shots for them...but I don't feel ready for that....
