A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine invited me to “help out” with a session with his friend, Urška. It was more of an improv session, so no special ideas from my side. I did howewer get to play with a reflector screen (thanks Samo). So my obvious choice were a few of to the sun shots.

I divided them into two series, a bit more “urban” trying to go with the effect I like the most, which is a little extreme saturation and black increase, and the sun shots :).

I LIKE THE SUN, I NEED THE SUN.

 But untill then, another SB-800/600 will do just fine =).

All in all, it was a really fun experience, and I’d love to repeat it one day, with a bit more ideas in mind, now that I know the model ;-).

As promised yesterday, here’s Jessica. This time in color.

For the next one, I’d really appriciate some advice, in particular, how about this effect:

To me, this one captures the feeling better, but I’m not sure. Any thoughts?

When the cat is away, the mouses¹ are playing.

So, as you may know, thanks to Outlook being my RSS reader, I managed to spot a post from Peter where he’s looking for an assistant. So I decided to give it a shot, after all, I’m very curious as to how people who’ve done it before do it =).

It’s nothing special really, just holding a reflector, but obviously I had my Nikon around my neck as much as I could. And when Peter went out to get something to drink, I “hijacked” his borrowed Canon 1Ds MkII & Jessica and took some shots.

The style of shots is different, I think, than what Peter did.

So I don’t need to ask myself if I should go with BW or color, I’ve chosen to go with both, but in two different posts. So, tomorrow I’ll post the colored ones. Comments are welcomed!

1) Good god man, obviously I mean mice, but for some reason the word just wanted out =), so I wrote it.

As you know, today I was an asistant for Peter Bernik. Since my best friend is waiting in his car (pool time!) this is just a teaser… =)

I’ll post more. I promise.
