Last night I signed up to become a part of The Baltimore Modeling Meetup Group.
The purpose of this group is to create a relationship between photographers, models and make up artists and Stylists in and around the Baltimore area. We plan to hold a variety of different group shoots and workshops in many different styles, both studio and outdoors "on location". Everything from Fashion, Editorial, Casual, Glamour and Artistic shoots will be scheduled. If you are interested in being part of a diverse, organized, top quality group, this is the place for you.

Waiting to hear if my application was accepted...wish me luck =)

These three from the series were shot under the same conditions.  Using some presets and adjustments in Adobe Lightroom I attempted  to turn them into High Key Photos.

Using the Canon EOS Utility for Remote Shooting.


A lot of new computer systems that have multimedia capabilities come with remote controls. For wireless remote shooting, I tether my Canon to my Laptop which has a Gyroscope remote control which I then use to control the EOS utility that came with the camera. Here is a picture of me setting up for remote shooting:


The camera is behind the Monitor, (yes I know the lens cap is on), The Dell remote can be seen leaning on the CPU. I just use that to point at the shutter button of the EOS Utility software and Viola' wireless remote. With this particular Dell system the keyboard is remote as well (bluetooth) and that is why it is not pictured.
