Tony + Summer
Every now and then you have a session that is just stupid fun. I mean the kind of day that makes you smile until your face hurts. Thats what happened while hanging out with Summer and Tony on this day. Summer was quick to let me know that I could include the out takes as they love them and she would post them, so I have included a couple here but that may give you a window into the overall joy of our time together. Tony and I have been friends for a few years after we met at the gym. At that time he and I both attended Crossfit Melee, which is now Mountain Top Crossfit and if you have ever tried Crossfit you know how quickly it is to make friends who are sharing the same sucky experience as you LOL. Fast forward to this session and all its greatness. They asked to meet up at Steele Creek Park in Bristol, TN and I was happy to oblige.
Back rides and forehead kisses for his lady.
Even in this first image above you can see the affection they share, but you can also see the laughter and how much we cut up for the entire session. We walked and talked and I got to know them both a little better. We avoided anyone that may be out ( be smart people ) and made our way around the lake. The lighting was a little tricky in the beginning but by the end of our session the light was looking pretty incredible.
I always want to leave my work for clients, and hope that above all else it creates a feeling. Stirs emotion, brings back memories of wonderful times they shared, and act as a reminder that its ok to slow down and be present. Its ok to be still and wait. Its also ok to laugh like children, and sneak those ever so subtle looks at your person while they are unaware.
Be safe, show someone you care, and sneeze into your elbow LOL
Canon EOS RP and High Speed Sync- Short Entry
The EOS RP and Good X2T trigger
Hey and thanks for stoping by. If you are reading this you probably fall in to 2 categories but regardless as to why, I am glad to have you. I mad a quick Youtube video today and thought I would write down my thoughts and the process to shoot your Canon Eos RP in High Speed Synch. I will assume that if you have found this via a Google search that you already know what HSS is but just in case, it basically is the process of shooting your camera with flash OVER the factory flash sync shutter speed. On the Eos RP this is 1/180 of a second. So that means, anytime I shoot flash I have to shoot at ISO 100 ( depending on the ambient light I want to allow ), a shutter speed as the above mentioned 1/180th of a second, which leaves my aperture around F9-F11. I don’t mind this generally, as a sharp image makes me very happy. Often though, I prefer that dreamy out of focus area behind my subject, thus needing to shoot a faster shutter speed, and smaller aperture. I use the Canon 35L series lens that opens up to F1.4 and sometimes I just want to shoot wide open. That means my shutter speed needs to be much faster, say 1/1000th of a second for example. In the video below I show you exactly how to get your EOS RP to shoot HSS as it will not from factory. I hope this helps and please feel free to share this with anyone you think might be interested or find this information of value. Thats all for today, but I hope you find joy in whatever your doing while reading this.
