Notorious Scullman - nah, that wasn't me. Photography is a hobby for me, never really shot any events professionally. I've only done a couple photoshoots for friends who wanted "nice pictures".
KittlesThanks very much!
Look a couple of duckies for you...
(taken in Central Park, NYC last Fall 2009)Here's some product shots:
Always Coca-Cola!! (my fave "black-soda"
...)
And now the setup-shot for the 'Always Coca-Cola' pic...
Lighting Info: SB-600 on camera left, bare strobe as Key light.
SB-600 behind the coke bottles, bounced off white ceiling, used as Fill-light for "high-key" effect. Helps to have all-white walls too .
Needed something dark-coloured to refract through the glass. Otherwise the glass bottles would have shown up as all-white, with no defining outline. My slippers were the only black-coloured things I had at the time. 
Camera: Nikon D200.
Strobes controlled via on-board pop-up commander, Nikon CLS, auto iTTL.Westminster Abbey & Big Ben, Central London at night.
Handheld, shot with a Nikon D40 and 18-70mm lens.
To get the nice starry-looking effect from the lights on the bridge, had to bring the aperture down to about f/8. This led to a slow shutter speed, so had to bump the ISO up to 800, the highest useable on a D40 without significant noise.Technique: Basically leaned against the railing, rest my elbows on the railings, jammed the camera against my forehead while looking through the eyepiece. Then held my breath like a sniper, hehe , counted 1-2-3 and squeezed the shutter gently.
Result = Almost no camera shake, best I could do without a tripod/monopod or a VR lens.Tower Bridge, Central London
Again handheld, Nikon D40, 18-70mm lens. They don't allow tripods along public walkways in London 
.
This shot took quite a few tries, in freezing cold. Frickin' frustrating, I tell you.One of my greatest inspirations and personal heroes: Joe Mcnally
SURPRISE!!
