Sneak-Peak of my newest shot... Eighties Magic

21 July 2007, Photography

I have always been drawn to the eighties, especially the "fashion" trends of that era. Hopefully you'll get a laugh from these early stages of ...80's Magic!

This image is far from over, but I couldn't keep it to myself any longer. I've heard its "rude" to laugh at "ones own jokes", but I seriously can't get the images of these two out of my head. As I have been working on rough layouts for this shot, I'll catch myself laughing out loud as I notice, again, how ridiculously funny these people look, all decked out in the raddest 80's wedding outfits...ever!



I recently sold my beautiful Canon 17-40mm 4.0 L for the even more beautiful 50mm 1.2 L series prime lens from Canon.



I was so amazed by the quality of this fat new lens, that I wanted to share the results with you. So, below is a 100% crop of the mid area of the wedding dress... miss anything? Oh, its pretty alright, but the price tag is "pretty" ugly. That's what you pay for quality I guess.



This was my first production shooting with this lens, and the results were -as expected- nothing less than STUNNING! I plan on doing a short review of my experiences with the new lens, in the the following week, so stay tuned.

It's not rude to laugh at one's own jokes. But if you feel the need to be laughed at (for your jokes, that is) rest assured that I will be there with bells on.

Great photos by the way.

I rented that 50mm a little while ago and loved it, I plan to buy it sometimes too, but, as you mentioned, it's got quite a price tag! I love your creativity, and your pictures. VERY cool.

I'm thinking I read that you have a class... how does one go about joining? I live in Utah Valley

I am just getting back to a lot of these comments, (sorry I took so long), and I noticed yours. First, thank you for the compliments on my work, and yes I teach classes in Utah. The classes I teach at UVSC are just for fun, and just 4 week courses... but they are WELL priced. You can see the classes I offer at www.uvsc.edu/communityeducation In addition, I will soon be offering more involved and in-depth courses on the art of photography, (that are also going to be well priced), and for that, if you have already subscribed to this blog,you will get an email with info regarding the classes when they become available. Thanks again!
