True TTL

Nikon D3s f/40 @8 seconds ISO 800 105mm Ratio 1:2 (2) 750 Hotlights

I shot my broken 1.8 lens, but I knew that I would be able to seen through the lens so I place my AE-1 behind it for visual interest.

Bug's Eye View

Nikon D3s f/57@1.6 second ISO 800 105mm Ratio 1:1 (2) 750 Hotlights

My good buddy Tyler ran into a tree in my driveway, and the only piece that was left intact was this piece of reflector from his rear light. I found it to be a pretty cool subject matter so I put a flower in front of it to have a nice reflection in the reflector.

Peacock

Nikon D3s f/16 @ 1 second ISO 200 60mm Ratio 1:2

Stacking 22 images together I lit this peacock feather with a 750 hotlight with a scrim in front of it and a white Gobo flanking the other side to give a little fill.

 

Stackin some Currency

Nikon D3s f/29 @ 1/250 ISO 200 105mm Ratio 1:1 

Using the PB-2 Focusing Stage lit with a Speedotron and a white Gobo I focus stacked these coin with 24 images to get the detail in this shot.

You know what Really Grinds My Gears

Nikon D300 f/57 @ 1/4 ISO 200 Profoto light Ratio 1:1 105mm

I shot my roommate Ian's rear wheel gears to his bike and lit it with a Profoto light at a 1:1 ratio getting in there to get the detail in the scratches on the gears and part of the chain so you can kind of tell what the shot is of, but I really like how it came out.

Optimus Prime

Nikon D300 f/36 @ 15 seconds ISO 200 Profoto light Ratio 1:7 105mm

Introducing Optimus Prime, the heater that keeps me warm at night. At a 1:7 ratio I shot optimus so that I would be able to get the coils in sharp focus still be able to get the name in the photo as well.

It's Time For A Shave

 

Nikon D300 f/57 @ 30 seconds ISO 200 Profoto light Ratio 1:1 105mm

I back lit this mound of shaving cream with exfoliating beads in it for a macro weekly, I think it came out pretty nice and vibrant in color.

Bottoms Up!

Nikon D300 f/32 @ 1/4 ISO 200 (2) 750 Hot lights Ratio 1:1 105mm

I shot this bottle that my friend Daniel got from his trip to Africa for one of my projects for macro, I shot glass with a light field background flaked with two black cards. I really like how it came out.
