A day at the park

I shot some pictures with Alice at a park in San Mateo. Even though it was nice and sunny out, it was still a little windy. I also decided to do some post processing to the image below to create a more extreme image to capture her pose.

This was my latest photo shoot with Lindy at Glen Park. I was happy with the results that I got considering that it was pretty cold out. I got a chance to experiment a little bit more with taking photos at different shutter speeds to capture more of the background as well as just lighting the model specifically.

The tennis court lights in the background gave for some interesting background in the picture above as I used a 0.5 sec exposure.

Yesterday I went to a Skunk Funk Fashion Show Mixer thrown by Fashionreplant.com at 111 Minna in San Francisco. It was a mixer/fashion show where you can mingle with others before the show started. It was a pretty good event and by the time the fashion show rolled around, the place was filled. It was my first time taking pictures at a fashion show and it was fun. When you watch a show and take pictures of it, however it is a little different because when you are there just to watch, you can enjoy it more. When are focused on taking pictures, you can’t enjoy the show as much but you get to capture the moments to review later on.

It was wierd that I noticed that some models were a lot better than others. Some had the walk, while others were not very good at it. From reviewing my photos, I also noticed quite a few things that runway models should NOT do while they walk down the runway.
