"The 360 Project"

“The 360 Project” is an exploration into the crossroads of photography and motion pictures. It is a study of peak dance movements, captured simultaneously by 48 cameras aligned in a circle.

There are two components to “The 360 Project” – “Ballet 360” features ballerinas from Canada’s National Ballet School, “Krump 360” features dancers from Northbuck Krump. The two styles of dance represent polemic perspectives in both technique and origin – one is beauty, the other beast.

The resulting images resemble a type of digital statue – a frozen, peak moment, embodying the essence of each dance form in 360 degrees.

SORRY FOR PARTYROCKING

Here is my first video montage, I put together for www.DallasEntourage.com.... I would love your feedback, be honest I can take the critique...

Lighting setup

RJ de Jackson Photo-shoot Lighting setup

FOR THE PHOTO GEEKS LIKE MYSELF

Description: 
The Photo shoot with RJ de Jackson with my Nikon D90, attached with my trusted Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 I was ready. This Photo Shoot was extremely laid back, as there was music jamming in the background, "Let me buy you a drink" -by T.Pain. 

Nevertheless, this concept/ look I was going for was a sexy geek. I had uploaded a sneak peek of this shoot and, another photographer stated that it was off topic on this series. He had suggested that it would have been better if I was to use smaller framed glasses. In response to that look, I interrupted more of a slutty geek (whoa there...!) than a sexy nerdy geek. 

Do comment back and let me know what you think..?

Morning Bike Ride

 Equipped with my bike, backpack, Manfrotto tripod,  and camera, I was ready to shoot. What?! I had no idea! As I was looking for something to shoot, I noticed the sprinkler on even though the morning dew still lingered on the leaves.

With The Rascals- Beautiful Morning song play in my head, I'd figured to venture off some more. 

I came upon a open field with wild flowers. With my Tamron 24-105mm macro attached I thought to myself mmmm hmmmm macro shot. With that being said I was able to capture to two images you see below.

The Futuro House

The Futuro House (276 Spaceship)
Rockwall, Texas

Designed by Matti Suuronen, of which about 100 were manufactured during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The distinctive flying saucer like shape and airplane hatch entrance has made the houses popular among collectors. The Futuro House construct houses 8 people, which also includes a bathroom and kitchen. This Unfinished Futuro house is located near Rockwall, Texas. Due to it's integrated polyurethane insulation and electric heating system, the house could be heated to a comfortable temperature in only thirty minutes, from -20 to 60 degrees F.

An excerpt from a February 1970 copy of Architecture D’Aujourd’Hui describes “Futuro” as:

The first model in a series of holiday homes to be licensed in 50 countries, already mass-produced in the United States, Australia and Belgium. The segments of the elliptic envelope are assembled on the site using a metal footing. Through its shape and materials used, the house can be erected in very cold mountains or even by the sea. The area is 50 sq m, the volume 140 cubic m, divided by adaptable partitions.

By the mid 1970s the house was taken off the market, arguably due to poor marketing, but primarily due to the Oil Crisis where tripled gasoline prices made manufacture of plastic extremely expensive. It is estimated that today around 50 of the original Futuro homes survive, owned mostly by private individuals. The prototype is in the collection of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

In 1998 Finnish film director Mika Taanila made a documentary film Futuro - A New Stance For Tomorrow about the Futuro house.

The house seemed to be abandoned so, feel free to explore what ever you can, I decide to take some photos. 

Go-go Dancer

It all starts off with reading the emotion of your subject, and quickly formulating a image that would best suit your vision.

No editing right out the camera

In my last Perfect Shot post, I said  that

"Nightlife Photography isn't hard but it sure would make you feel like a mathematician. Remembering the right ISO with that works well with the shutter, F-stop and appropriate Flash speed". 

So, I figured out why not check and see what a pop up flash can really do...?

Capturing nightlife photographs for the promotional company name Dallas Entourage at Kinki's Lounge in Dallas, Texas. It’s fitting to capture creative shots, rather than your typical snaps you normally see. 

In order to achieve this image, my camera stands wouldn't be the typical neither. For this shot, I was practically standing on a three inch thick rail, holding onto the pole with one hand and in the other my camera, all to get above the Gogo girl. This shot followed the old saying "The Third time is a charm". The first capture she was looking away, and the second a random guy popped into the photo.

Final version with edit

Nightlife Photography isn't hard but it sure would make you feel like a mathematician. Remembering the right ISO with that works well with the shutter, F-stop and appropriate Flash speed. Of course you shoot it in Auto, but why then again why use a DSLR.
For Best results use F/2.8 or lower, rechargeable batteries for your flash (or if you are in a pinch use batteries with 11x visible).

FROM START TO FINISH

Model Name:- Kristina Jones

I had a 'Pre-Thanksgiving Music Festival' to attend in Arkansas with Featured artist such as Dorrough, Paul Wall and Blais. So I figured since I am away from home, I may as well network. Upon network and staying in Arkansas, the awesome Kristina Jones was the first say let shoot. And here we are about to discuss the 'START TO FINISH' of this shot.

Location Arkansas, Place at a school for Nuns. With the Nikon D80 mounted with the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8, a wireless trigger, a soft box and portable battery pack. I was armed to shoot. Whenever I use a off camera flash source, I always set my camera to manual. So with the ISO at 400, F stop at F/8, and the focal length set to 45mm. I fire the shot and came up with this image.

Upon looking at the image in Photoshop CS5, I realized that there were tombstones and some trash in the background, which I circled in yellow. The green lines under her eyes and chin was a indications for me to lighten them in my Editing process. The red was to reduce the hair stragglers let loose in the wind.

After it's was all said and done. I came away with this image. Do let me know what you think of it with comment, Thanks in advance. Click on the image to view the Correct aspect ratio.
