A Butterfly amongst the Bougainvilleas

This was taken during a walk on my lunch hour. It’s amazing the looks that you get when you are standing bent over a flower bush taking pictures in the middle of the day.

Strobist Information: Canon 5D Mark II, 85mm, Natural light.

Amazement in Color

All this week I have been posting photos taken at the Cayman Islands Equestrian Federation and Caribbean Equestrian Association (“CEA”) Junior Jumping Competition held on 27 June 2009 at the Equestrian Center off Linford Pierson Highway and Bobby Thompson roundabout.

This photo is of one of the Barbados’ riders as she was going over a jump. Her face expression is priceless.

Information regarding the event can be found here.

I love the expressions on Wil’s and Olivia’s faces. I also find the red background with the chain link fence really makes this photo pop. This photo was taken between photographing the models. Wil is a photographer who was also shooting and Olivia was the make-up artist for the photo shoot. This was taken in the studio with Alien Bees.

Watercolors

The flowers in this photo are known as Plumerias. There are a couple of Plumerias bushes in our yard and they look quite something when they are in full bloom. However, I was looking for something different, and the photo you see here today are a few flowers placed in our swimming pool with the sun top left.

Strobist Information: Canon 5D Mark II, 85mm f/1.2L II and Natural light.

Refreshing and Cool

This was one of the last shots in the photo shoot. It was taken in the studio with the following lighting setup: Camera left – an Octabox with an Alienbee 800; Camera right – a softbox with an Alienbee 1600 and one snoot light back left. Post processing consisted of cropping and removing the box reflection from the glass.

I am really happy with how this photo turned out. Yes, it has a lot of post processing, but I like the feel of it. As some has said, it looks very similar to Storm in the X-Men. The Photo was taken inside my house using the Canon 5D Mark II and 85mm f/1.2L II lens. The lighting was a Canon 580 EX II camera left at approximately 1/16 and a Olympus Flash camera right at approximately 1/32. Both were shot through 42″ Westcott umbrellas.
