TTL Seminar With Will Crockett

I just got an email from KEH.com about a great opportunity (fridayphotoschool.com) to learn or get more familiar with our TTL flashes with one of the countries leading photographer, Will Crockett. I know for myself, it will be great to refresh or learn new technics, so if anyone is interested, check out the info and login in the comfort of your lazy boy chair.

New Addition: Raven Cliffs

While hiking up through the trails of the Raven Cliffs, Ryan Tyrl and I stopped at three different falls to photograph. I have been very fortunate to own and love my 5D MII so I decided to shoot and record HD video with two lenses: 16-35mm and a 70-200mm both uniquely made for an interesting point of view. I will be working on the next two falls video clips to complete this multimedia movie of the Raven Cliff Falls, just north of Helen, Ga.

I don’t know if this is over the board but I went ahead and uploaded my Raven Cliffs video to Dailymotion.com and Vimeo.com. I have accounts to all three video sources but I wanted to really see a difference between the three as far as quality. You be the judge and leave a comment to which of the three you like the best… unfortunately there is a lose of quality regardless of the three. Anyways it was fun making the video and I will be at it some more!

Kimbo Slice In Rome, Ga

What a great and exciting night! The Forum in Rome, Ga was packed to a Sold Out crowd on Saturday January 24th.

The place was full of screaming MMA fans from all over the region. I couldn’t believe how popular this sport has become in Rome. I of course never been to a Rome fight, so for being my first, it was electrifying to see such a turn out!

I had my friend Josh Kelley, a fellow photography graduate, to come out and shoot with me. I thought this would be a perfect opportunity for him as he is a great sport photographer quick to the action and he also, conveniently, lives out here in Rome, Ga. What a chance for him to feel the excitement of shooting such an intense sport. In addition, a great perk about having full access is that we get to meet and get pictures taken with these huge super stars like Special Guest KIMBO SLICE!

Here is an action shot taken by Josh Kelley… GREAT SHOT Buddy!!
From what I saw from his camera, he took some amazing shots. I can’t wait to see them on the big screen! I’m looking forward to shooting with him again.

Exposure Through Out The Sport

Recently I’ve been working with Sponsored Fan Atlanta. I’ve shot a handful of fighters for their profile images and its been great exposure for my work. I’ve recently created a fight video for Tex Johnson and now people are not only viewing it on FaceBook, Vimeo, DailyMotion, WordPress, but also on Sponsored Fan website. A portrait of Byron Bloodworth profile was posted on the NextMMAFighter.com website. This can only push me to the next level and continue to create more videos for the fans!

These two fighters will be part of the main & co-main event for the Battle of Rome VIII in Rome, Ga this weekend… January 24th at the Forum.

Come see undefeated Byron Bloodworth (Hard Knox & Team Roberto Traven) Vs also undefeated from X3Sports John Quiroz.
What a night to see!!!!!

This going to be a great fight night… When I heard it was going to be in Rome, Ga., I thought of my fellow graduate friend, Josh Kelley. After graduation Josh moved back north to Rome, Ga. This will hopefully open up an opportunity for Josh to shoot some exciting & extreme MMA action.

On December 18th 2009, Tex Johnson fought 24 year old Johnny Buck at Will Bill’s. It was a record win of 13 seconds for Tex. As a favor, I created this fight promo video for him and Team Sponsored Fan. Lisa Cave met me at Wild Bill’s for a great night of MMA fights as they hosted a Charity Event- Toy’s For Tots. Lisa helped me by being my second shooter. She did a great job and was able to get a couple awesome shots that fit well in the video and deserved credit. Thanks again Lisa for all your help!

In this image, Lisa captured a moment full of detail and great lighting exposure… definitely my favorite. I love how all the dust is flying through the air and you can see one of the judges on the bottom right corner watching with great intensity as Tex is getting ready to enter the ring.

Friday Night Fight!!

Come out and support the local fighters by bringing a toy for Toys-For-Tots organization… a toy will get you in the door to an event of intense toe-to-toe action. All toys will go to help less unfortunate children through out the United States experience the joy of Christmas. So please come out and help support a great cause…

Its easy, bring a new toy and you get in for free. Its local, at Wild Bill’s just around the corner of Gwinnett Place Mall of Pleasant Hill Rd and I-85. And its a great time!!!!

Frustration Sets In…

So I guess after working none-stop on my final project for MultiMedia II class, everything is not so clear and bright… besides a sunrise in just a few hours. I have saved my video in two different files which neither seems to be uploading… and when I loaded one of those files to YouTube, my audio was denied… well not approved yet but I just don’t see it getting loaded with it. What a freaking nightmare this has turned out to be… Its way late and past my bed time and nothing more I can do but wait… sigh.
