As mentioned in our previous post we recently had the opportunity to photograph a recently married woman from Indian in her bridal outfit. Here are the results from the shoot.

Indian Bridal Shoot
Well this weekend we were extremely lucky to be able to have a photoshoot with a local Indian girl who had recently returned from getting married in her home country.
Fortunately she had bought back to NZ her wedding outfit and we got to photograph her in it at our local park.
Pictures to follow 🙂
Southland Stags Game
We’ve been trying a variety of different types of photography recently to try and expand our skill sets. So when we got the opportunity to go to the latest Southland Stags rugby match we jumped at the chance with camera in hand.
Here are a few of the shots Layton got from the Southand Stags vs Waikato game.

This was the Video with the shot we were trying to emulate.
Strobist Experiments
Following on from our night shoot experiments we took Maggie out again during the day to try to experiment balancing ambient light in bright daylight. Here are the results of our experiment.
While researching how to do this we came across a great tutorial from Phlearn – I’ve already posted a link to the tutorial in a separate post. We based our experiments on trying to emulate the shots created during the tutorial with the thought that once we worked out what we were doing we could use that knowledge in our own shoots down the track.
Strobist: Lighting 102 – 3.1 Balancing Light: Twilight
We followed this guide to light Maggie in the dayshoot
Basically it means you meter for the ambient light (or the environment) and use your flash to light the model.
Strobist Experiments
Here is one of the images we took the other night while doing some experiments with lighting at night.
Strobist shoots
So finally after weeks of piecing together our lighting kit we had our first strobist shoot the other night. It was a great experience and we learnt a lot along the way, one thing was to drag the shutter in order to get the ambient light to show up when using a flash to light our model.
