Tour of Kenneth Linges' Studio and a photowalk in Provo.

Yesterday I went to my first photowalk. We all met at Kenneth Linges' studio in Orem, where he gave us a tour and talked to us about different lighting techniques. Afterward we all met up again in front of the Courthouse of Provo. Kenneth came along with us but did not bring his camera, instead he would set up a model and teach us how to light and shoot it. It was very informative and I had a blast.
Even though we kinda stayed in the same place and did more talking than walking I learned a lot. Here are some of the shots from yesterday.

Before everyone showed up I was able to get this shot of the Courthouse.

Kenneth taught us how to use reflectors correctly and how to stand in the middle of the road stopping traffic.
I am not sure what the models name is.

We then went over to another street and took some shots with a model, some random photowalker, on a bike, which belonged to some other photowalker.

I then got this shot of the bike, I really liked the red circles around the wheels so I colorized the shot.
And as David Terry pointed out it looks like a Canon "L" Series "Tire".


EXIF
Camera: Nikon D80
Exposure: 0.04 sec (1/25)

Then I went back and got this last shot of the model and the bike.


EXIF
Camera: Nikon D80

Aperture: f/4
Focal Length: 18 mm

With most of these shots Kenneth would light up the model with a heavy duty flash light, like the ones you can buy from Home Depot, and a diffuser made from a see through binder. I think that I am gonna go and get me some. I really enjoyed this photowalk and can't wait for the next one.

Night Shots.

A couple of weeks ago I bought a Nikon MC-DC1 remote shutter release cable. I wanted to try out some really slow shutter speeds and this thing helped me do the trick. These photos were all taken with very slow shutter speeds, so slow that the shake from touching the shutter release button was too much, hence the need for the remote shutter release cable. All the lighting was all the natural light there was around midnight. I set up my Nikon D80 on a tripod and connected the MC-DC1 to the camera and started shooting away. Here is what I came up with.
