p.1 #1 · Shooting with HOFFMONSTER


The guy is a legend. Had a blast this weekend with Tony Hoffer. I came. I shot. He conquered. He posted a lot already, so I'll just add my couple that I enjoyed. Like he said, there were so many to go through it's not even funny.

Hoffer just posted his shots on FM -->here

I got to go to NYC for the very first time, something I have been waiting for my entire life, images on the blog as well. Chilling with the Hoff and Jason Prezant just made it even better.

Things I learned this weekend:
-Photo Mechanic is a necessity
-I shoot too much, need to cull down my images
-Tony's images are essentially as they were shot in camera
-The Canon 1D4 at 3200 is really nice
-A Philly cheesesteak is a good thing
-24" of snow is a lot
-B&H is an experience that every photographer should enjoy in person
-Dirty water dogs are pretty darn good
-Hoffer is the man

Had some fun did we?

What a great team you guys made. My obeservations are

6 - I assume this was pretty dark but the noise is showing in his suit

13 - the contrast seems a bit strong on this one to me

15 - I'm sure it's not but it looks soft or oof to me after looking at the shots before it.

8,11 & 19 are my favs with 19 being a timeless one for me.

Please don't take any of this in a critical manner as you pretty much blow everything I do out of the water. Just some observations.

Great stuff. It is really interesting how both of your strong individual styles came together to compliment and blend into a wonderful presentation of the day.

Appreciate your honest feedback, always appreciated! The shot has some noise, I had accidentally set it at 6400

Nice work on the whole, just one minor observation:

8. Father of the Bride fairly central; Bride right side, slightly off centre and cropped; bystanders on the left... I feel the shot would have been a little stronger with the whole of the bride in shot, omitting the guy with the red (Sony?) point and shoot!

Fantastic... I'm really disapointed that I wasn't able to join you guys in NYC. It would have bene great to meet you and thank you in person for your presets... and enjoy a dirty water dog with you.

This set looks great.. it was really cool to see the differing PP styles between you and Tony.
