On the Roof
More images of Olivia Arden. I know you guys don’t like looking at girls as much as they do guys on snowboards. My web views have been down. But I need to clean out Lightroom and get my stuff online. Don’t worry there will be more Winter in Summer posts once I finish up submissions to one last magazine. If this was a snowboard shot I would pick my favorite and only show it. Because it’s not I have no idea which is the best so now you get it all. All shot on a Canon EOS 1D Mark III with Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM.

Hammock
My current job has me working 12 hour shifts which leaves little time for posting photos. I also have a mounting backlog of photos to post. So I will be posting more soon, but with less writing and less photos.
I don’t know which one I like more.
Both photos are of ms. Olivia Arden and shot on a Canon EOS 1D Mark III with Canon EF 24-70mm F/2.8L USM lens under ambient light.

Jerod Stoner
-Jerod rips around a corner
Stoner is hands down the best dirt bike rider I know. He has won countless races throughout the US and has even been to Travis Pastrana’s house to ride before. Last year he won a large race in PA and this year the event organizers wanted to sell t-shirts with images of the winners riders on them. Jerod phoned me up about shooting him for the shirt and we set up a date.
At his house he has a few tracks and after looking around them we selected this turn for our shoot. I used my Elinchrom Ranger RX with A-Head along with two Sunpak 555s fired via PocketWizard Plus IIs to light the image. It was shot on the Canon EOS-1D Mark III with a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L USM lens. My exposer was 1/250th at f/5.0. It was critical for Jerod to hammer his turn at the same spot each run because of my low DOF. Below is a another image of Jerod along with one photo of his buddy on a different turn.

Adriana Sky/Knotfal
Neil Palumbo is a local photographer/friend that lives in my neighborhood. He has been following the band Adriana Sky (formally Knotfal) around for over a year now and asked me if I would be interested in shooting the band at a local bar in Harrisburg. I had never shot a band before and in the past I would have been turned off to the idea. I had not been shooting in quite some time though, so getting out to shoot anything was a warm welcomed idea. We meet up around 7:30pm and made the 30 min drive north. Here is what followed.
-Meet up at Sandwich Man for a hoggie and beer
-Good artwork all around the shop
-Dan the drummer
-Joe the Bassist
-Marty the Vocals
-Mark the Guitarist
-Went back to the bar and they started to play
-Mark and Joe
-Marty standing out
-Dan can play well while posing it up for the camera
-Joe sang a Green Day song
-The crowd got involved
-Mark looking like a shark
-Group shot to end out the night
I had a great time the whole night, the band was really nice, and it was fun to shoot something different. The whole night was shot at 3200 ISO with a shutter speed of between 1/30th to 1/60th at f/2.8. These are settings my camera never sees. Speaking of cameras I shot that night with the Canon EOS-1D Mark III and used the Canon Fisheye EF 15mm f/2.8 and the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM. I loved being able to shoot at f/2.8 in the low light with the added benefit of separating my subjects from the sometimes crazy background. In this case I think the gear would make or break a shoot. It would have been nice to edit the images in LR 3 to get rid of all of the noise from shooting at a high ISO, but I think LR 2.7 did a fair job.

Party Wall
Last weekend I hung out with my buddies we had a great time. During the course of our party we took some photos. Well more like four gigs worth and spent about two hours shooting them all. Needless to say it was the highlight of the night. If you would like the “Party Wall” at your next party hit me up. It’s guaranteed to make the night.

Street Bikes on I-83
-Mike Bennett speeding by
Three of my friends recently each bought a Yamaha r600 so snapping a few photos of their new bikes is just natural. So we took a lap up to the Rutter’s gas station to grab some food and then road back to Mikes house.

Dirt Bike POV
A few days ago I went along with my parents to ride our dirt bikes and hang out for the afternoon. I really enjoy POV shots and had been itching to shoot something so I used the opportunity to take some POV photos of riding the bikes. After duck tapping a Canon EOS 20d to my chest I attached my Tokina 10-17/3.5-4.5 DX fisheye lens and a cable release. Holding in the clutch and shooting with the same hand was a little tough but after a few laps I was getting the hang of it. Check out my favorite photos below along with the 60 second video.
