Photovision Review and Discount for You!

This past year I subscribed to Photovision. The Photovision DVDs are (as stated on their site) “educational solutions for professional photographers brought to you by Ed Pierce. I have really been enjoying them . It really doesn’t matter what type of photography you do, they is something for everyone. The video sessions are a combination of interviews of professional photographers as well as showing them actually working. As you can see I mainly make art and photograph weddings, but I am still able to pick up on new information from photographers photographing completely different subjects than I am. The best part about it is that I can watch it at home. As a full-time art instructor that is huge for me.

I have also purchased the digital calibration target from Photovision as well and am still experimenting with it and working on fitting it into my sessions. If you are not familiar with the target, it is a tool to help you gain the correct exposure as well as the correct white balance. From what I have experienced so far, it is an awesome tool. One of those things you want to have with you at all times! I am still working on fitting it into my workflow, so when I get it down, I will share more.

You should really check out this awesome learning experience! Click on the link: http://fansof.photovisionvideo.com/Julie/050429

Jessica

I had a great time hanging out with Jessica and her gals this past weekend at her wedding. She had quite a beautiful wedding despite the rain. It rained just about all afternoon. However, it really was amazing because it held off just long enough for her ceremony, which was outside. A few months back we got together and did some bridal portraits. She did a great job working it! Good times were had by all!

Casey & Amber :: June 19th 2010

Casey and Amber were married on June 19th 2010 in Beaufort, North Carolina. The ceremony and the reception were held on site at the Duncan House downtown Beaufort. It was such a beautiful wedding and I was overwhelmed (in a good way!) over all the wonderful details they had in place to celebrate the day. They were such a wonderful couple to get to know as well as both of their families. The wedding was directed by Rachel Munro of Bridal by the Sea and she did a superb job of keeping everything on schedule! The catering was done through the Beaufort Grocery Company and it looked fabulous! I’m definitely going to have to try that place out next time I am in Beaufort. I am going to miss these two…they were lots of fun!

Kicking It Old School

It seems that film is now considered an “alternative process”; in other words an alternative to digital. I still love using film. Much of my fine art work begins with a film-based exposure. I still pull the film camera out for portrait sessions though. One of my students this summer wanted to do some off camera lighting with film, so I thought I would do a couple test rolls before he shot his. The last time I used off camera lighting with film I was kicking it old school with all the sync cords. This time I used PWIIs with my Pentax 67. It’s a beast of a camera, but I love it. I also shot a roll with a Mamiya 645 (hence the different print ratios). I was shooting with 400 speed film (what I had at the moment), which limited me from the beginning with ambient exposure. With digital you can lower your ISO if you need less exposure. I also overdeveloped by about a stop…hence the grain. So, I took my hubbie Shannon out and played a little bit. I didn’t get the ambient exposure I wanted, but it was fun none the less.
