For those of you who haven’t had the chance to explore Snapknot, it’s a great resource for people looking for wedding photographers. Snapknot is also having a camera giveaway contest! Big thanks to the SnapKnot wedding photography directory for offering this great camera giveaway!
Trying out the video feature of the camera and decided to make a video and a cinemagraph for the fun of it. A cinemagraph is a mix between a still and a video.
My Old camera has been broken for a few months now, I was left with my iphone 4S to use as my only camera. When ever I did have a job, I would borrow a camera from my one of my friends. I sold off my D80, Canon Vixia camcorder and a few other valuables I had laying around. I picked up a used D70 and socked the rest of the money away for the D700 replacement. It was a bad decision since the camera broke a few weeks after my purchase. I was able to repair it myself and got it working again, however that only lasted about 2 months.
with the release of the D800 and D4, I decided to get the Nikon D4 over the D800 for it’s low light ability and super fast shooting. I ordered it locally and delivery was expected by end of March. On March 16th, I got the phone call that the camera was in! I was so excited I couldn’t complete my sentence to the sales guy with out stuttering. With a perma-smile on face I picked up my first full frame camera.
Gone is the D70 with its ‘plasticy’ cheap feeling body, poor iso, slow FPS camera. The D4 is a welcome addition to my arsenal.
I wanted to get a picture of a family member to test out the camera. I figured my grandma would be a nice challenge since my Chinese is not strong and would be hard to get a more natural photo since she freezes up every time I try to take a picture.
For 2012 I’ve decided to combine two things I love the most, friends and photography. I will try and meet face to face with my two hundred and counting facebook friends to catchup / re-kindle friendships and take their picture. It will be a difficult challenge as some people are out of province and out of country.
Lets meet for coffee or a quick bite to eat. Your home or mine is completely reasonable as well. If you’re not comfortable with meeting me I won’t be offended and I won’t call you out for it either. If you want to take advantage of me (photography related) go right ahead, I’ll snap a quick photo of what ever you’d like.
I will try to contact you via facebook to set up a date or if you are interested in getting together, please contact me at info@jeremychoy.com. Let the challenge begin!
Thanks!
Jeremy
With some white paper, a cardboard box and some SB-800′s I was able to create a mini studio for props I had lying around.
The shoot I did for Hush clothing was for an ad in the Style Manitoba magazine. it was raining and very windy that day so I suggested we find a backup location. We asked Inn at the Forks if we could shoot there and they graciously offered up their hotel. I had pretty much free reign of the place which was nice.
I scoped out a few locations before hand and most locations worked. I primarily shot with a 70-200, some Photoflex softboxes and SB-800′s.
Here are some other pictures from that day:
We only had a short time to snap off a few pictures. We walked across the Assiniboine park bridge and started snapping photos at the nearest bench. I hope I can work with Jon and Sarah in the future! easy to work with and love to joke around. So much fun!
