Re: Recent Professional Works 2

[ben730]

Hi
After commenting a lot of other works I have to post some of my recent
work.
Shot with my new 28 mm Super-Digitar, just re-aligned in Bad Kreuznach.
(I'm still waiting for the CF, it will make this lens a monster.......)
Wow, it's really sharp everywere, even with 15 mm shift.......
Regards,
Ben

That's beautiful! How did you get the ice on the bottle? It looks absolutely natural and not artificial at all!

Thanks Christoph. 

Actually that is fake ice.  It is a rubber product that absorbs liquid and gets stick made specifically for photo and video sets.  I have no idea where to get it; it is my fiancé's and she bought it from some guy in NYC who manufactures it in his apartment.  (Not shady at all  )  Pretty much mixed water with some glycerin, to make it a little thicker, and painted it on with an artist brush.  Then sprayed the bottle with a mixture of half water and half glycerin. 

Now the "icebergs" in the background are real.  They are just dry ice, which I used so I would not get a puddle on set.

Nice commercial work chris.  It has that historic 60's 70's look even though the products don't do the photography justice.

(Not a complaint as I've shot about 100gigs I ain't showing, cause it's my best work, but my most limited subjects).

Now Chris, it's time to break something.

If you haven't studied Ried Miles then . . . do  (though knowing you . . . you probably have).

You live in the world of Jazz

Study Reid, do a tribute, not a copy and rock it, or shall I say Jazz it.

I'm serious cause I dig your style man.   Just get some on camera artist that knows how to react, prop it, and blanket your talent over the top.



BTW:  To the owner's mods of this site.  I can't log in as bcooter as it just says, wrong info, so I'm going to drop this post in about 12 hours max.

If I've been locked out from posting, then let me know cause I have work to do and I'll never pay for the right to share.

If there is another reason I can't log in let me know straight up.


Thx.

James,

Don't go! Your images and perspectives are a huge asset to this forum.

It appears that the conversion of the main site has wreaked havoc on the forum side. I was also blocked from signing into the forum. If logging in with your email address doesn't work, here's a workaround suggested elsewhere that worked for me: go to an old post of yours, click on your old user name, and then log in from there.

John,

I'm not looking for a reason to go or trying to be a problem.

It's just since the original plan was to put the site behind a paywall it's a natural response to think it's difficult to log in unless you pay.

BTW:  It isn't the money, it's just the principle.

Thx.

James,

Understood and I respect you for that. However I actually paid and also got locked out. As cynical as I usually am, in this instance I'm guessing (hoping) there's nothing nefarious going on...

Have you noticed there is no link on the header of this forum to "the LL forums".

Nefarious, maybe not.  Planned . . .  I think that's obvious.

Preach, brother!  So often I tell people that what I do is just graphic design with a camera.

[razrblck]

Reid Miles

Oh yes! I've used his work as an inspiration the few times I've been commissioned a logo.

Like this one (abandoned because the association changed hands and got dissolved for political reasons). I know it's small, but it's so old that I'd have to dig around my DVD backups for a bigger image. Still you get the idea!





I'm always looking out for interesting things to inspire me or some ways to pay tribute to stuff I love, often both outside the photographic world.

[Chris Livsey]

As ever appreciated BC

Cooter, I hope you have sent a message, via the big, green "Help" button at the bottom right of every screen in the forum. It goes directly to the techies who are undoubtedly responsible for messing up the logins for some people but not others.
They have already fixed a number of glitches, and this should be high on their priority list.

In another thread I have offered to pay your $12 first year membership if they don't get you all squared away in a VERY few days.

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

Eric M,

That's kind of you and I've given this some thought.  Once this login thing get's straightened out I will pay the $12, even though I seldom go onto the main site.

I think since other forum members are paying, then it's only fair that I do the same, whether it's required or not.

I still have my concerns,



but let's see what shakes out.

Personally I vote for this header change.  (insert smiley face thing)




Thanks

BC (JR)

Great idea! I'll even pay thirteen bucks for that header!   

Eric M.

[razrblck]

I'll offer 20$ for that header!

little bit of a stair...

I like the stair with its colours and angles but it seems diminished by that bright area at the top. I like the vague reflection of the wood.
