Steve asked me to shoot another new artist for centricity. I had everyone over today to brainstorm the shoot and while we were talking the massive storm that's blanketing the midwest was making the light very interesting. I took everyone outside and POW! I don't know if they're going to use these shots since they're completely not what we were talking about, but I like them a lot. The shot above was done with the sigma 12-24mm at 12mm and I just love the panoramic look it gives. I did do some perspective correction and crop. I'm glad I had my camera ready to go. The best quote I've heard about the "canon/nikon wars is that the best camera is THE ONE YOU HAVE WITH YOU.

It's not just that you have the camera either, it's that you've shot enough to know it inside and out, so when you get a chance to shoot you get what you need. The light was changing every 30 seconds today and I was balancing a strobe through an umbrella and ambient. Fortunately I had Jim Scherer to hold the umbrella and since we'd shot in St. Petersburg using the same lighting rig, it was easy.

Get out there, pick a side, start shooting. Shoot, shoot, shoot. Nothing gets you better like doing it, doing it and doing it.

That being said, I love love love this canon 5D. It almost feels like cheating it's so great.
Working on a couple things right now, gotta a ThumpMonks remix for the Newsboys brewing in my partner's studio in N.J. it's hott. ThumpMonks 1st single going to mix soon. Made Avail single string arrangements and new Superchick. Busy busy busy. I'll be in Seattle this weekend. Call the cell.
