Amanda

Wel, this is the first time that all of my equipment actually worked together. My newly acquired Canon 5D Mark I is a really big upgrade from the 40D. The 580EX Mark I flashgun was amazing and had no interference with the pocketwizards that I was using. Overall the shoot was fun and went well. I shot with Canico Studio's Trevon Angulo and produced some nice pictures, he's been doing some fun stuff as well on his side of the photo world.

Trevon lit in the natural light, Amanda in the artificial. I laughed.



Telling people what to do never really was my strong point. I'm glad that the pictures can't tell you what happened in order to get the pictures.



These are natural light pictures. That train was butt freaking slow.... and then it stopped... end of story.



The sky was actually really dang nice today. The weather warmed up enough to shoot comfortably, if not a little on the hot end of things. The clouds were photogenic for sure today.


Finally, a cooperative flash that produces a pretty dang good effect. For being the first time using this, I felt like I man handled it like a pro... without pro gear...



This is one of my favorites, as well as the bottom one of the picture above.
This picture kind of shows my tendency to use the right side of the frame. I'm kinda quirky like that I guess.



And all the colorful versions need to go somewhere. I wanted to go more natural today, and felt like it worked out!

Different styles are fun, Trevon heads Canico Studios, and he can be found at

His style, although different than mine, helps me appreciate the variety of beauty as seen by others. He's really good as well, much more creative than myself.
