Going Dark

Took some snapshots outside the house of Aaron and Patrick after a long day of setting up the studio and clearing out the garage. Played with the high ISO setting on the MkII. The amount of noise is ridiculously low for ISO 12800.
I was inspired by my roommate to go dark with these shots. So I went the moody b&w high contrast route. Maybe I'll do more like this.

Experimental Stages

Set up a temporary studio in the garage w/ a discarded seamless. Still have to work out some kinks with the lighting. One of the strobes failed so we had to set up an SB 800 w/ the umbrella, and a dedicated strobe in the softbox.

Random Photo Hour

Got out to the Sutro Baths and the park by the Cliff House to take random photos with the roommates.
