I can never quite get my b&w photos to look good, which is probably why I rarely attempt it, but here’s some I was randomly testing conversions on:

From last year:

Can you see the Na’vi in the tree?

I either ask you to pose randomly, or have you wait for me to randomly shoot randomness…

Just a little bit of every day things.

Something I say quite often. Here’s a couple more from that day:

Mark doesn’t like the pic cause it makes him look like he has a belly… I assured him it was the wind and that people would realize it’s the wind. But just in case, it’s the wind hah!

Updated our blog layout last night for 5byseven. Check it out: 5byseven San Diego Wedding Photography

For those that don’t know, I have a side thing with this whole photography stuff. 5byseven.com was created in mind with myself and my brother, 5 and 7 representing the number of letters in our names and of course the size format of a picture.

We started off doing some homie hook up weddings and have now successfully managed to book weddings throughout the year at a competing price with other local photographers. Our hopes for the future is to be able to open our own studio, maintain steady weddings, hire on other photographers and basically grow a business that started with the love and passion we both have for photography.

At any rate, check out our blog. Bookmark it so you can see what’s in store for the future! Thanks, xoxo

One of the little gems of San Diego, CA.

Have a great weekend!

With Canon’s latest cameras like the 5dmkII, they have made it possible to micro adjust your specific lens to insure quality photos through the accuracy of its focal point. There have been times in my career where I’ve picked up lenses that I thought were awful.

I focused dead center on something and that focal point came out fuzzy and blurry. What gives? “Must be a bad a copy.”

This has all changed for me and many others out there. I have micro adjusted every lens I own making “bad” lenses now amazingly sharp and accurate and “good” lenses even better. The samples below show two states. The first being the lens straight out of the box, onto the camera, shot in raw and handled in CS4 with minor color and exposure adjustments. The second image is the lens after having been micro adjusted +15 on my 5dmkII.

This was a QUICK test, shot with the camera sitting on a table propped up by a box, iso 100, f/1.4 and on auto WB. The focal point was set to the word iron. I’ll use a tripod in my real test, but I just took two quick snaps just to see. I’m sure the camera shoot a tiny bit lol. Following the images are their respective 100% crops:

No adjustments

Micro adjusted by +15

100% Crops:

I only had time for 2 shots so I’ll have to go back and take a few more. I’m guessing I’ll be in the +13-16 range. But already, with this one adjustment, you can see how much more clear my lens is.

So to all you photographers out there… if your camera has the ability to micro adjust different lenses, you should really take advantage. If not for you, do it for your happy clients.

Just a few random images from the year:

Me and the boss

Here’s the before:

before pic

Edited some images from a wedding in Lake Arrowhead and thought I’d share a set. The thing with editing images from a series is that when you do a set, you should edit all of them the same way so there’s a coherent vision or theme.

In this case, I went with a golden tone because the weather was just absolutely beautiful and had this golden shimmer that I wanted to exaggerate a bit. You also want to give the client the same set in it’s original color in case they don’t feel the same way as you do about your vision. You might think it’s extra work, but it’s also a win win situation. If they don’t like it, they have a back up of the edit in the original color and you can use your vision for your portfolio… and if they do like it… fantastic!

So Mark and I saw an art piece the other day that we fell in love with it. Because it was so pricey, we decided to replicate it for our kitchen. The price tag was $500 and because we already have paint, two canvases and some art supplies, all we had to pay for were some really cool magazines that we wanted both for inspiration and clippings.

Semi Final Design

Testing out some lighting for an upcoming shoot. Lending my 5dmkII to my brother so I used my EP1 with 20mm f/1.7. Pretty freakin’ impressed by this little camera.

Ideally I would have liked some fill light but I didn’t have an extra strobe with me. I thought about using my ringflash on camera and the beauty dish above but I don’t have my 5dmkII. Anyway, here’s the result:

The day was beautiful as were the couple and company. Just a great day all together.

I have to say that the quality of this is fantastic. Prior to this, I made a book with iPhoto and this Blurb book is miles better in construction, quality, size, finish, etc.

Their program is simple to use and connects with your flickr directly. Depending on how many photos you have on flickr, you may be leaving your computer on all night to let it access/download all the files. You can also import images from your computer. Keep in mind, doing all this makes a file on your computer. This book ended up being about 1gb.

Turn around time was actually pretty quick considering they have to print and construct the book. I also did ground shipping and all in all, it was just a little over a week. I’m sure choosing a faster shipping guarantees the book to be delivered sooner.

This particular book isn’t for sale since I have a few images here without a model release form and at the end of the book is fun drunken images of my friends. I don’t think this would be an appropriate coffee table book to sell, but I’m definitely going to be making another that will be commercial ready for coffee tables around the world!

Specs: 12″ x 12″ Premium paper, image wrapped, 70 page contemporary photo book.

I haven’t blogged in a real long while so I’m trying to make up for it. Check out some of our most recent engagement photos taken around San Diego on the most gorgeous days ever! Nothing beats San Diego weather. The shots in the collage below are all taken with the amazing 85mm f/1.2L II. I’m really starting to adore the focal length. View them all here.

Photos on exhibit in the main lobby of the Cooper Design Space in downtown LA with tons of other photographers. Thanks to h2 for capturing this, her photos are featured there as well!

Went hiking yesterday at Black Mountain Open Space Park in 85 degree weather so I didn’t want to lug around my dslr… this is where the DP2 excels. Didn’t feel pulled down by any weight at all. About a 2 hour hike up and down and the DP2 lasted the whole way.

I love the peacefulness that comes with hiking. I’m no expert hiker with hiking shoes and gear, but I do appreciate a nice – somewhat challenging – elevating destination with amazing views.

Sign:

Starting our hike on level ground:

The light was gorgeous, our hike stared around 5:40. Perfect light for me:

The green on this tree was really interesting for me, post process a little much, but that’s my style:

More gorgeous light infusing through nature:

View from atop:

Lastly, the end of the day drawing near:

Great place to go for beginners like myself. It did get kind of scary an hour into the hike because we weren’t sure if we were still on the loop trail. So instead of continuing (the sun was just starting to set and the gates closed soon) we backtracked the way we came. Definitely need some good shoes as the hills get pretty steep, but other than that… a nice walk.

Another good hike around the area is the Rancho Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve which is made up of mostly flat lands to which a 3 mile hike to a waterfall and 3 mile hike back makes for a great workout while enjoying the outdoors.

I 100% firmly believe these results (for me and my liking) would not have been achieved by any of the compact cameras I’ve owned taking in consideration color, dynamic range, low noise, quality of the image and I’ve owned many compacts including the G10 and LX3. Still fascinated with my Sigma DP2!!

For those that don’t know photoshop all that well, here’s a tip for enhancing a photo in 2 steps, 3 when you include opening an image. See the effect below:

Original Image:

Final:

step 1: Open Image
step 2: Press command j (on a mac). This duplicates the layer
step 3: Turn the duplicated layer to “soft light”

From there you can save as, to keep the original file. Or you can simple right click the layer and flatten the image and proceed with a save.

Pay no attention to April’s shoes, or lack there of lol. Fixing that in the final version!

I wanted to do a second review of the Sigma DP2, post field work, and since today was so gorgeous, I decided to take a ride on my bike around Lake Miramar for lunch and snap away. All images are clickable to 100% original files (the quality is out of this world). The only photoshop work done to these images are for resizing blog purposes and a bit of sharpening after the resize. The originals have absolutely no photoshop applied. All images were shot in raw, aperture priority mode and developed in Sigma DPP.

Also note that these images are after the latest firmware update and I can honestly say, autofocus really has improved.

So because I didn’t have a model with me, my bike became my muse. I’m sure I looked a little crazy in my normal clothes, in the middle of a reservation, taking pictures of a bike lol… but whatever. That kinda stuff doesn’t bother me all that much anymore.

So here’s my bike. At 100%, you can really see the amazing depth this camera captures:

If you aren’t a camera geek, I suggest you just look at the pictures and skip all the text. It will be a boring ass read for you.

This thing is BAD ASS but give it to someone who doesn’t know the quality it produces and first thought is, “This is wack.” On the contrary, give it to someone who has seen sample images and their thought is, “GIMMEE!!!!”

With all that’s said and done, there is one thing certain about this camera. The images it can produce in the right hands, rivals those of entry level DSLRs with good glass.

Before reading this, I suggest you use google for those reviews that tell you this camera is slow in functioning, has an awful LCD screen, etc., etc., because I won’t get into that jibberish. This isn’t really a review as I’m sure I’ll jump all over the place.

Quite frankly, those reviews are CRAP anyway and only made me wait longer till I actually jumped the gun with this. I only wish I had it last week for my trip to NYC.

The only disclaimer about this camera that I will point out is that, this isn’t the point and shoot turned dslr for the average consumer. Not by any means and I don’t think it was intended that way. This is strictly for that photographer/enthusiast that values quality over quantity and ease. Cause I’ll tell you now… Pimpin’ ain’t easy.

UPDATE: This also isn’t the kind of camera you can take to the clubs and use the flash. There is no AF assist light to help you focus so you’d probably end up with all blurry images. Looks like I’ll have to invest in a club camera… I’m thinking the Panasonic ZS3

Saw this amazing photo blog template and I just had to use it. For a selection of work, please check out Picture This.

I am so excited to test this thing out. Was browsing around flickr and the results of some of the images this beast puts out are kind of amazing. This is crazy good. The depth, color and character this thing produces is just mighty. So damn amazing from a compact digital camera.

Cavit? Ghetto bird for “Can I have it?”

Offering all of the features that Panasonic’s multiple award winning TZ range of cameras is renowned for – including a remarkable 12x optical zoom in a compact, stylish body and 25mm ultra wide angle lens – the TZ7 goes one step further to offer AVCHD Lite*1 motion picture recording, making the TZ7 a truly versatile proposition.

via dpreview

Basically, a compact camera with a 25mm-300mm range (crazy!) and records AVCHD video, which is basically HD video at half the size. AVCHD is what HD camcorders use and allows for HD footage to be captured in less space. Downside is, it’s harder to edit the video clips, but eh… I’m not much of an editor. You can however, continue to shoot in motion image HD (which most do now) but it will of course be a larger file size.

I also want the new Sigma DP2 (even more):

This is, in a nutshell, a compact digital camera with a fixed focal length with the same sized sensor as a dslr. What does that mean? Basically, the quality of your photos will be dslr-like in a little tiny ass body. The fixed focal length of the DP2 is close to 40mm, perfect for portraits and street photography on the go. This is gonna be a gem!! I’d totally sell my G10 for this thing.

You can see the craziness in quality from their sample gallery here.

The ZS3 is available now overseas (as the TZ7) and is expected in us stores sometime in April, which leaves a couple weeks. Sigma has not yet announced when it’s DP2 will be out.

Cavit?

March 2009: Pretec creator of the highest capacity CompactFlash card in the world (100GB) and the fastest CF card in the world (433X), continues today its record breaking history in the field of speed and capacity by unveiling the extraordinary 666X CF card, the world’s fastest CF card.

Four times faster than a typical CF card, Pretec 666X CF’s dazzling 100MB/s speed is the largest speed boost in CF history. 666X CF card is the newest member of Pretec’s family of innovative flash memory cards, consistently first to market in high speed and capacity products; 233X and 333X CF cards were introduced by Pretec at Taipei in 2007, 64GB CF card started shipping in Sept. 2008, and 433X CF card were launched at Birmingham UK in Feb. 2009. -dpreview

Ok, who really needs a 64GB CF card? Who would rely on a 64GB CF card to put all their images in from a shoot or vacation? For real? 64GB of images?! That’s kinda ridiculous and it’s even more ridiculous that I want one (lol!) sans the 666x write speed. That fucking number keeps following me. Argh.

I was on the pier when I saw a pattern of light in the ocean glimmer. At first the strong highlights hurt my eyes but after a few seconds of starring, my sight started to adjust.

What I saw was the most beautiful sparkle.

I got to thinking about all the similes like, "Don’t judge a book by it’s cover" or "Beauty lies within," and you know what… I truly believe in that.

There’s so much more to life than what you see on the outside and that’s a lot of what photography is about. Taking in what you see… what other people see with their naked eye… and connecting yourself with what you can enable yourself to see.

And in this instance, I took that harsh light and turned it into something that to me, is beautiful. That’s not to say I didn’t adjust my settings by taking the image out of focus to create bokeh, or compensated some exposure to get rid of highlights… but that’s also what life is about for me. Adjusting, learning, and trying to live better.

I totally won!

Quick review of this cool gadget. If you’re looking for some scientific bullshit analysis of the light output, don’t bother reading on. The only thing I will say is that so far, there seems to be a loss of one stop in your flash unit with this on.

I’m currently shooting with a canon 5dmkII and 24-105mm f4L.

At any rate… this thing is bad ass! The fact that I could achieve this type of lighting pretty much anywhere I go is awesome. It’s portability is one of the main reasons I decided to go with it. There are no cables, batteries, electronics of any sort. Just snap and play. That’s the best thing about this ray flash ring light.


I’ve tested it a bit outdoors as well and it’s provided me some really nice fill light. The colors are fantastically natural and the output does not feel harsh at all. Also, my friend was standing a few feet away from me and from where I was the flash lit her really well while still maintaining the beautiful orange light that was hitting her from the setting sun.

I haven’t had a chance yet to post all images, but if you’re interested, please visit my flickr page for updates on this amazing little unit. Highly recommended!!

Befriend me on flickr.

ExpoImaging Ray Flash:

Just like you said it would be. Life goes easy on me. Most of the time.

When I saw this through my view finder, I automatically thought of Final Fantasy. It just looked so dreamy to me and felt like at any second, some creature was going to walk about behind the shrub. WTF right? I guess this new camera is making me feel giddy about photography again. I’ve been caught up so much in doing events and studio work that I forgot how freakin’ fun it is shooting for yourself.

Looking through the view finder for your eyes and not the eyes of a client. This is the first time in YEARS I went out and shot for myself. As in like, I did it for fun and as a hobby. I can’t remember the last time I went out to shoot without any objective, clients, or pay. It was kinda… amazing.

The flash was a little too hot on my face. I suppose I could have lowered the power a little more but to be honest, I wasn’t focusing on lighting on this. I’m going to be doing more self portraits in the future. Not because I’m vain and like touching up my own face lol, but because it’s how I started out in photography when I didn’t have subjects. It was me and the camera. Exploring not only light, but also expression and composition.

This hobby of mine is fucking expensive. I’m eying the new 5D mkII. My bestbuy card is currently at a 0 balance awaiting 18 months of glorious no interest. Now only if they would stock this bad boy. It seems nearly impossible to get.

I did hear about some bad copies being distributed with some sort of black dots appearing in images, so I guess it’s good I wait a little. But those that know me understand that, waiting sometimes isn’t in an option. Not for this brat.

I had a studio shoot today and I decided last minute to shoot a look outside. I’m so glad I did because they turned out to be my favorite from today! Check it out:

We launched our Holiday Campaign for work yesterday and the shots turned out extra fabulous with some photoshop work. At first, there was some skepticism about how the final product would look because it really didn’t look all that exciting pre-photoshop, but I must say… it turned out fantastic.

This shit was hard first time around the course, second time went smooth sailing from the adrenaline. Team Pud Mies:

We shot Arlyn, Kat and Tiffany as a continuation for their “Danity Kane goes Asian project.” I’m looking forward to doing the group shoot with all 8 of them at the studio! Should be killer. Here are some images from today’s shoot:

Without the snow on the ground…

I look about how I feel. Cold.

A couple shots from our shoot last week… have a few more solos lined up and then a group shot in November. I’m excited for that!

We were driving down 163 yesterday just as the sun was setting and it looked amazing. I always thought sunsets along that freeway looked “Lion-King-esque” so I finally attempted to capture it in motion.

I got my best friend a set of frames for his birthday. We had done an impromptu shoot awhile back and since the images came out so well, I thought I’d put them to good use. The frames consist of one 11×14, 8×10s, 5×7s and 4×6s. I hope he has room on his walls!

I sculpted. I painted. I carved. I drew.

But ultimately fell in love with photography and design. I really should be editing wedding photos right now =P

Never used this function before but I think I like what I see. Saw someone post about it over at Dpreview and took a snap of my desk at the moment. Kinda gross.

Samuel Adams Oktoberfest. Lotion. Baby cologne. G10. Dayquil. Green tea. Can of dog food. SDHC and CF card readers. Blank CD. Edge of a macbook pro.

This thing is sweet. Who would have thought you could instantly print images from your camera through a pocketable printer that uses inkless technology? Hey, it’s no high quality print, but it’s something awesome you can bring forth to the table with clients, especially at weddings.

I made a new action for my photos specifically for my blog and who better to test on than Matt?? I think I like it. Polaroid like, but not. Perhaps this is fitting since I have my eyes set on the Polaroid PoGo!

So I just picked up a Canon G10. What am I thinking? I know right. I totally just bought a LX3 last month as a non DSLR camera and here I am with a non DSLR camera #2. Crazy as it may be, I’ve had my eyes on this camera for awhile. I’ve always wanted a Canon G series, but the lack of a wide angle always threw me off.

Now that this has a 28mm lens on the wide side, they reeled me in. Don’t get me wrong. I still love my LX3, this will just suit different needs and I can totally let Mark borrow the LX3 when he travels for work. I usually don’t like lending him my cameras because I’d miss it (gah! I know)… but now I can let one go and still be a happy camper.

Plus, this G10 is built like a tank. I like tanks.

Still testing the waters

Photographer Chris Jordan turns cold, hard stats into proactive statements on economics, culture and the American way of life.

Amazing stuff

After a pretty awful weekend, I finally had some time to try this out. All images taken at f1.8, 800iso with the exception of the second and third image which is at 400iso. Obviously at small resolution, this is not meant to show you the amazingly low levels of noise. Instead, its to show the capability of this lens in low lighting situations is just damn good.

Canon’s best bang for your buck lens:

The photography manager at work let me take the 5d home for the weekend for a test drive. I’m in the market for a full frame camera and after shooting with it for about an hour, I’m pretty much sold. Taking images feels so much more like home to me for some reason.

It feels more mechanical and raw, rather than digital. Currently, I own a 40d, but that’s going to change real soon! Actually, I’ll probably keep my 40d as a back up and get the 5d mkII when it comes out. I just need to somehow come up with $2,700.

Anyway, here are the initial images I took.

Scoped out a wedding spot for next week. The area is ok, nothing spectacular so we’ll have to work it out. Should be a good day!

I love my new lens. Haven’t had time to take it out in the real world, but Cargo seems to love it.

Now all I need is the new Canon 5d mkII

After a long weekend of work… I finally redesigned 5byseven.com. Never worked with slide shows before so it took awhile to configure with lots of help from google. I’m happy with it. It’s much more clean than the previous design and I think a bit easier to navigate. Content is still pretty low, but more to come soon. For now, take a peak!

P.S. There’s music in the intro slide show.

Clarione needed some headshots before my trip to Las Vegas on Wednesday. Without any of my studio lights on hand, we ghetto rigged some Target lights. Our results after 20 minutes…

Not to bad eh?

I went crazy yesterday and stayed up late customizing these awesome wordpress themes. I’m also attempting, yet again, another photoblog. I’ve titled it, “Picture this” and am so far having fun with it.

Hopefully it will also get me out there exploring again and snapping any and everything in my way. I’m starting to remember why I love photography. It’s a way for me to express the world as I see it. To view certain grievance in something as simple as a washed up sticker or feel the love in something like a landscape. God, it’s great.

And when I get my hands on this bad boy, I’m sure my ipointishoot sn will live up to it’s name once again.

This is going to be my latest camera. Here are the reasons why…

F2.0 LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON Lens
24-60mm ultra wide
RAW Format
16:9 aspect ratio:
Full manual controls
1/1.63″ sensor
3-inch LCD with 460,000 reso
HD 16:9 aspect ratio 24fps video
Hot shoe for external flash or optical view finder!!!
Wide lens converted to 18mm + filters
Sweet old school leather case
Face detection
Mega O.I.S.

Now those are just some of the features in this jammed packed little “mini dslr” if you will. I can’t also help but feel this camera looks so old school. I loved my Leica, but I think this guy will fit my needs more. Plus it’s way more affordable.

Head here for more details. Comes out late August!

Just found this amazing action and wanted to use it. How cool is this? Don’t be alarmed if you see random cubes of images in the next couple posts.

P.S. I’d totally post the action except the 20 people that come here probably don’t care enough. lol.

During a quick lunch break at work, the newly turned 26 Holly, snapped away.

Calumet 750 Studio lights. Soft box and fill light. Post processing in photoshop CS3.

I shot my first wedding with 5byseven.com. It was really fun/tiring and something we’re definitely going to venture off into. We also just purchased our own studio set up so we’re pretty stoked on getting this thing going.

If you guys have any work you need done, holla atcha your boy.
