yeah the background was really tough to work with.... i had a hard time with it after too.. creases!! haha.. but thanks for the input. I have definitely learned my lesson for the future with patterns/busy backgrounds.

here's page 11 for those who didnt see it on flicker yet

Oh I totally agree! I like that a lot better! Good Job!

Oh, ya that one on flickr is great.
As for the music shot I TOTALLY LOVE IT!!! Its great! And as for lining it up, it is almost perfect.

You should have post some set-up shots though :p
How did you do that one with the music, and the white background.?

it was just a straight up white background - 4 different shots. I asked Jesse to dance, so he did and this is the sequence that I liked.
The music is a simple (oversized) jpg that i found on google. Cut it out, warped it and stuck it in the background of my two pages.

Ya, but its very well done. lol he must be funny to watch dancing, judging by the photos.

Its very original, i love it

:D

:o

haha :lol:

so was this a friend that did the modeling for you? or did you hire a person? or?

He's a friend of mine :) (and a pro dancer)

Did some product photography for Chocoatl's website. These are some play shots I took using a Lensbaby and a 1DMKIIn after finishing with the actual shoot. I can't believe how noisy the images are @ 400 ISO. Very surprising.

How did you not eat those?! haha

Pretty cool stuff!

Some of those are actually fakes. We did have the real truffles that I did eat though. :)

hmm, i've never been a big fan of the lensbabies. They seem kinda ...blagh... to me.
But i like the 2nd shot. :)

lens baby is like a $200 gimmick that gives the same effect i can achieve with 2 mins of photoshop. im not a big fan either

Senna, do more macro shots. I've always loved your macro like the rain drops on spider webs... These photo actually make my eyes hurt... I mean they're nice photos, but the effect I don't really like much... Just my 2 cents :p

Yeah, I was just playing. Those will not be going onto the website. It was my first time playing with a Lensbaby and a canon camera. It's not an easy thing to play with. The camera is a POS with higher than expected noise.

Clients don't want too many macro shots...they want something that shows off their products.

As for Photoshop, why spend 2 min getting a similar effect when you can get it in 1/125 sec with a Lensbaby? Yes, the uses for it are quite limited though. I'd use it for a select few wedding shots.

Haha I know clients don't want macro shots, or not too many, but I'm saying post more macro shots on RS :p

my 1d mark2 doesn't have crappy noise like that... maybe its the lens baby ;) heheh

Maybe....but at 100% on the monitor, there is visible noise at 400 ISO, which was surprising.

bah its old anyways ;)

Edited to show no noise :D
