Play.com had the Arrowhead standalone on sale couple of weeks ago so I pulled the trigger. And doubletapped for a Radeon 5770 to run the bastard. Haven't had any time to install or try it though. Damn house renovation.
It's more about the thing that Finland is a amazingly boring land with nothing of interest unless you have a thing for are pine trees. No race tracks, no large car parks, no vacant industrial zones, no deserts, no fields, no rocky mountains, no waterfalls, meh.
But, yeah, you could say it's more of a mandolin commercial as it's not really meant to be a straight up portrait. We shot quite a lot of 'safer' portraits that day but usually I pick the stranger stuff for myself.
I liked this as it contained small clues about the style of their music, their image with catchy clothes and greasy 50's rockabilly hair styles and the name of the man in the head stock.
And now something completely different.
She was having her bachelorette party and her friends booked her a impromptu modeling session. The theme for her bachelorette party had something to do with TV-series about becoming a supermodel.
Somewhat stressful shoot due to various reasons. Time pressures prohibited me from doing scouting beforehand so I scrambled for a location near their party in the same morning. No time to fiddle with the equipment or lights when the group arrives so it's straight to the shooting and trying to pull the exposure together in very few test shots to keep the small amount of momentum going on before the bachelorette chickens or tires out (she was not drunk enough that time of the day). Nikon system and their CLS is amazing in these kind of settings. Too bad it doesn't deliver the alcohol too.
Oh yeah and then it was group shots. Change the lights, pull the exposure together, shoot shoot shoot, bag gear, have terrible tan lines when the day is over.
DWB, the screaming lady is great! I've wondered is the daylight really so different where you live, it always looks much more pleasant than here in the North. My astronomy or whatever isn't great so I dunno lol if it's just an illusion... or more likely because you are great with the lens pointin', shutter squeezin' stuff.
