Lake Park in the Wind
Image by Rusty Russ
What a beautiful spot. I found it difficult to photograph and capture the essence rather than the detail. A lot of post processing went into restoring the colors and trying to recreate the beauty. And yes, it was wonderfully windy there but the grand trees didn’t show it

Tripod Shoot – Behind the Scenes
Image by fensterbme
Here is the photo of how I setup these tripod photos, they were taken on my kitchen island. Click Here to see the results of this setup.
Lighting Setup: Lighting provided by two White Lighting X1600 strobes, one to camera right difused into a softbox the other difused into a beauty dish. Lights were placed at a 90 degree angle from the camera (mostly, I would move the camera a bit to the left for some shots, with the light on the left with the beauty dish then being the key light). Additional light bounced in with a 42" Westcott Silver reflector mounted to an arm and light stand (FWIW: DON’T Buy Interfit reflector arms, they break easily, spend more for a better arm), this was above for some shots and to camera right for others, depending on where I needed fill light. I also used my Lastolite Grey/White card to throw a bit of light into a few of the close up shots. Click Here to see this photo larger to give more detail…
The backdrop is simply black matte finish foam core (back and bottom) with some clear plexi to provide a reflective surface (that I didn’t even end up using on these shots).
Other Stuff: Photos taken with a Canon 5D and either 24-70mm f/2.8L or 100mm f/2.8 macro lens (although this shot was taken with the Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L MkII ultrawide, since it’s not a huge space). Lighting triggered by Pocket Wizard PlusII’s, exposures checked with a Sekonic L-358 and I used a Lastolite Grey card to get my balance values (although I purposely toned these shots about 400 degrees cooler which I thought gave it a better look).
NOTE: This photo made it into Flickr’s ‘Explore" as one of the top five hundred most interesting photos on a particular day. You can see all of my photo’s that have made it into the Flickr Explore pages here.

World, here’s Maggie
Image by Evan Romine
This is Maggie, she’s just signed with SIM Agency in Gilbert, she’s 14, 5’10" and already off to a great start. I had the pleasure of shooting a test shoot with her last week and I have to say that she really impressed me. Girls like this don’t have to really do anything at all in front of the camera because of their natural beauty. I just have to make sure she’s in focus.
Lighting was a 60" white-satin umbrella above her head and angled downwards. It’s slightly camera left with a fill-card camera right and a silver reflector about chest-level to the model.

Fashion Trend?

Beats me what would attract such a beautiful butterfly to the toe of Gene’s shoe! Standing, watching the butterflies, we looked down and noticed one had seated itself firmly on his toe. We patiently waited for it to move and took advantage of the opportunity to photograph the beauty.

Flying on the Wings of Mind To Eternity……….
Image by -RejiK (busy ….)
I Wish boarding a Dream flight to Eternity, Crossing Every Border of Time and Space..And let this be the Beautiful Ambience…..
And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy.
It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth,
But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted.
It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear,
But rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears.
It is not the sap within the furrowed bark, nor a wing attached to a claw,
But rather a garden forever in bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight.
People of Orphalese, beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
But you are life and you are the veil.
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
But you are eternity and you are the mirror.

2004 – One of the very first shots I ever took of Ada – many years ago. Just digging through my photos again.
Betelnut girls (Binlang Xi Shi/檳榔西施) are a unique part of Taiwan culture. They sit in brightly-decorated glass booths wearing skimpy outfits, and sell cigarettes, drinks and betelnut to passing drivers. It’s a controversial trade but not actually illegal. The question of whether the girls are exploited is open to debate – certainly their own perception is mostly that they are doing a job like any other, and the less they choose to wear, the more they sell. For more info, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betel_nut_beauty and follow the links to the video and pictures.

Old neon sign on old beauty shop in South Beacon HIll
Image by litlnemo
I love this sign because it is so vintage — both the typeface, and the use of "Beauty Shop" which is usually the older name for hair salons.
I didn’t see any other name on the shop, just this neon.

Beauty in Motion

I have always felt that the day the horse was created was a moment in history that the creator was feeling the most inclined toward beauty. The form, the power, the complete package of perfection shows that whoever your God is, He knows what poetry personified is. How I love them!

Fading beauty
Image by txomsy
I took this picture last September.
It was dawn and I had a lot of things to do. A quick glance out of the window revealed a peculiar set of clouds. I only had a few seconds to go grab the camera and aim a quick shot to the quickly fading and metamorphosing clouds… A few seconds earlier it was livelier, a few seconds later it was gone.
The only processing done has been to lighten colors as the original was pretty dark.
