Title: invitation from iofoto
Post by: iofoto on April 27, 2007, 05:50

Wanted to invite anyone who's interested to my shoot blog at http://www.ronshoots.com (http://www.ronshoots.com). Since late last summer, I've been sharing the process, tips and techniques that go into many of the images we shoot.

There's also my perspective on the business of stock at Stockxpert (http://www.stockxpert.com/forum.phtml?f=showtopic&n=2111 (http://www.stockxpert.com/forum.phtml?f=showtopic&n=2111)) and a column regarding the creative process at Lucky Oliver (http://www.luckyoliver.com/big_top/photobooth/photobooth_0307 (http://www.luckyoliver.com/big_top/photobooth/photobooth_0307)).

At RonShoots, scroll down about 5 posts and there's a behind-the-scenes video of a yoga shoot. I rigged up a "camera-cam" so you can see the shoot from the photographer's perspective.

You'll probably find out that I'm seriously addicted to taking pictures! And, as always, any comments and critique are welcome.

Wow...

You put a lot of effort into your blog!  I put a blog on my site a while ago, and have manged only four posts, my posts tend to be on a 'when I feel like spinning a yarn basis, you're obviously using a blog as a serious part of your business..  Great work,

Are the hand held flash units in some of your shots quantums?

And for some blatant self advertising (which I'm not good at) here's my latest blog entry:  http://cpix.co.nz/blog.php?id=6 (Two months ago!)

Thanks Chris! And yes, the handheld is a Quantum- the Qflash T5d with the Freewire transmitter/receiver. Works really well, for the most part... A few problems with the synch cord into the transmitter, but I think that's because we're tough on our gear. Here's an overview of all our equipment: http://www.ronshoots.com/what-gear/ (http://www.ronshoots.com/what-gear/)

You're giving me much motivation, Ron.
And inspiration, too.

Thanks!
