Post-Graduation shots - Flying and New Years

I decided (and by decided I mean am forced) to shoot ambient for everything the past few days. All if it was shot with either a 17-40 or 24-70. Enjoy.

Post-Graduation shots - flying

I flew with two friends of mine (one has a pilot's license and is soon-to-be a flight instructor) from San Antonio Int'l Airport to the Dilley, Texas Dairy Queen... home of the dilly bar. Here are some shots: slow shutter zoom flying back into SA at night, USAF base with C5s, portrait of my friend Matt while we were getting fuel at some random airport, photo of us in the cockpit, and HDR image of Andrew checking his plane before we flew back to SA.

Creative Flash Mounting

So I wanted to put a flash on a pillar in order to light a band I was shooting at a little coffeehouse. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any gaff tape or anything of the sort, and the establishment wasn't that helpful. So I came up with an idea off of my own back. It worked.













That is one [1] medium Orange Eskimo Joe's t-shirt tied to a post, holding a flash there. It worked good, and didn't slip the whole time.














On top of that, I think it produced a pretty decent photo. If only the background boy hadn't moved into the back of the mic stand at the last moment, I'd be extremely pleased with it.
Henceforth: be creative. Be prepared to do silly things.

Overdue Portrait Blogging Drop

Haven't posted in a while. Haven't shot a ton either... just a few portraits, mostly.

First off, one that I took outside of school...

Then one that I took that ran...

Then one (two) I took that has yet to run. Flash vs. No-Flash.
