The Green Machine

Today's post is going to be a fun one on so many levels featuring a hot car, a cute girl and gratuitous placement of photography equipment. Let's start with the car, my first new car ever and only my second car, has been a source of endless flak, I mean is the green really that bad?

Car Photo

Hmm... before you answer that consider this:
  • The children have no problem spotting me for pick-up at school
  • Since driving this car, I have zero instances of losing it in the parking lot
  • I suspect the car is less likely to be stolen and if it is, recovery should be a snap :)
Okay in hindsight I probably had more negotiating leverage with the dealer than I realized. Onto the cute girl (and um sorry this isn't that type of blog/website). The inside of the Fiesta is a little cramped since the overall car is shorter than a typical minivan by about a 4 year old (i.e. 40 inches). That being said, it's pretty easy to carry a conversation with the chatter boxes in the back. You can make the call whether that's a good thing or not.

Car with Kid Photo

Last but not least, the center divide has space to hold two consumer grade lenses and one professional L lenses. Better yet, the area has ambient lighting with the color of your choice (pink, red, green, blue, purple and white) so you can easily find your equipment while driving around texting and talking on the phone. It's amazing how many people still do that... when people should really be focusing on taking photos of the kids in the back.

Car with Photography Equipment

BTW: If you're looking for a new car, I highly recommend the Ford Fiesta 2011. The trunk is big enough to fit a set of hockey gear, the car is fun to drive (a link showing how to smuggle teddy bears in your Fiesta), is green with respect to the environment (other colors are available), has the highest safety ratings (but doesn't protect you from your own children) and I think very photogenic (see above).

Phat Baby Technical Photography Tips: The most interesting photo is the one on the top. Taken at sunset, the camera settings are actually kind of interesting at 30 sec at f11, ISO 100, 24mm. I actually put an 0.6 ND gradient filter to make everything extra dark, dressed up in black and ran around like a ninja manually triggering a flash as I did circles around the Fiesta. Neighbors thought I was crazy and the kids who were trying to sleep in the bedroom, thought a UFO was landing outside their window. Using a tripod, made compositing three of the photos together a snap. I actually tried using onOne's Perfect Layer Lightroom Plug-in which allows the use of layers in Lightroom. Neat idea, but pitifully slow with three 12MB files on a 2.66 GHz MacPro with 12GB of RAM. The editing ended up being faster in Photoshop.

Bright Smiles and Lights Out

Every year, we have the "tradition" of opening up a present a week before Christmas for the following reasons:
  1. The kids get a lot of gifts and when they open it all on one day, many great toys get pushed aside or forgotten since they can only play with one thing at a time. Spreading out the gifts gets more entertainment mileage from everyone's generosity.
  2. It allows a bit more focus on the story of Christmas on the 25th
  3. It allows me to play with my new iPad guilt free. Thanks wifey.
So bright smiles abound to Aidan and Zoe. Aidan was preoccupied building a 1000 piece Lego Star Wars gunship but my other lovely model was able and willing.

Phat Baby Photography pillow pet landscape

Special thanks this week to Arkadiy for helping me get past my photographer's blogging block over on my Facebook page and suggesting this week's post. So tonight we're going to talk about taking photos of the Christmas lights in your home or neighborhood. Unfortunately, I got sick (thus the Lights Out title) so all the photographs will be indoor examples.

Fortunately, my model was in betterspirits than I was and provided a variety of unsolicited poses with her unicorn (her Christmas gift from her brother who painstakingly saved for it). With Christmas lights or evening photos of city lights, you typically want to dial down the exposure compensation (basically the knob that tells your camera you want everything darker) by 1-2 stops or use the night setting (usually a moon and/or star icon) on your point and shoot. This sets the mood (that's its dark and not broad daylight) and prevents the lights from appearing washed out.

Phat Baby Photography pillow pet portrait

If we stopped there than my girl would be in the dark so my little sweetheart is illuminated with a 24" softbox, camera high, from six feet up pointing down so it didn't cast an awkward shadow on the tree in the back. You of course don't need your child in the photo which greatly simplifies things (just like not having kids simplifies a lot of things) but what's Christmas without your kids smiling back at you.

Technical Baby Photography Tips: What you want more? Okay, the softbox light is gelled with a 1/2 CTO so the light coming out of it is about half as warm as the tungsten lights on the tree. Actually I have no idea if all the lights are tungsten but lets just pretend I know what I'm talking about. Generally I do the opposite and have the subject warmer than the background but that's the beauty of photography - there's always opportunities to mix things up or pretend that something that happened to work was intentional. The camera settings were set to Av Mode so the camera would meter for the ambient light (minus a stop and a half or so) at ISO 400 and f2. Oh, the most important tip: have fun and enjoy your family, friends and the iPad, I mean loved ones.

30 cents, $3000, Priceless

What happens when your daughter makes a veil at school, finds your wife's wedding dress and starts striking poses?

baby wedding

Anyway, it's been awhile, but thought folks might find this a nice mix of baby, wedding and really random photography. All I can say is that none of the boys in her class should get any ideas. She's off limits and the house will be patrolled by two Rottweilers. And on that fine note - good day :)

Baby Photography Notes: I can't really in good conscious recommend that you take out a multi-thousand dollar dress and use it as a prop. My memory actually eludes me as to the actual cost since it was some stratospheric number and the original dress went up flames in a fire (good story really). Anyway, my wife thought it was pretty funny and we figure it's actually good to still get some use out of it, but your mileage may vary.

The Best Free Gifts for the Photographer in Your Life

It's that time of year, endless promotions, endless lines and endless line items on the credit card statement. With the constant reminders to consume, it's easy to lose sight of the reason for the season. Buying gifts for a photographer can be a blessing or a curse. Many photographers, like myself, have very specific demands of our equipment and with all the random professional photographers and companies hocking their wares, it's easy to buy something pretty useless (and expensive) for us. I'll refrain from naming specifics since one man's garbage is another one's treasure. The blessing is that our very craft lends itself to some simple, inexpensive but valuable gifts:
  • Provide the photographer in your life an hour of your time to model. We have tons of projects in our heads but between watching kids and paying the bills, it can be difficult to find creative time.
  • Watch the kids for an hour so they can go out and photograph the sunset, the sunrise or the diaper pale (hey one man's trash is another man's "art"). This is one can either be called a gift or a sacrifice depending on your perspective.
  • Shoot your photographer. Um, let me clarify that. Don't kill them, just take some pictures of them. Funny thing about photographers is we hardly have any photos of ourselves and they actually can be quite handy should we ever forget what we look like.
If you want to go on a spending splurge you can always create a coupon book for your photographer with all of the above and more. The funny thing of course is that Christmas is all about the ultimate free gift that everyone gets and no one has to do anything for. Blessings and Holiday cheer to all!

Baby Photography Horsing Around

Baby Photography Tip: I've found myself horsing around a lot with Photoshop recently as part of a concerted effort to understand all the ins and outs of this most obtuse software package. While capturing memories on my camera is the utmost priority, the fact is that Photoshop, done well, makes for really dramatic images. It is also a lot like raising children where the basics of eating, feeding and sleeping are well understood but peel back the onion and you want to cry. Nonetheless, there are a bunch of actions and effects I'm standardizing on as part of a makeover going into the new year of which this photo demonstrates an extensive use of layers, curves and automation via actions/scripts. Believe it or not, I used to write software so it's fun to tinker with the latter and it helps keep labor costs and therefore prices reasonable for my clients.
