a sneak preview before the full set hits my blog. just shot this today.

this couple is seriously the shit. frank invited me over for our first initial meeting to play some ghostbusters on ps3. lindsey is just plain cool.

check out some frames when the full set to hits the blog tomorrow (07/08) at my blog.

All good all the time with you Pat. I appreciate the out-the-boxness with the shot of her with her head on the blacktop but it looks uncomfortable .The rest smoke. She is indeed hawt.

~Sam

All good all the time indeed!

<---- The Noob

Digs:

walking in the woods shots
corner wall him oof shot
her pressed against him b/w shots (both)
lying no asphalt shot (yeah I see what Sam's saying but dig it nonetheless)
the last shot

Does not Dig:

standing stiff fake t/s with back of house behind them
chopped forehead her chopped chin him
Flarimus maximus shot (would have liked to see him a bit more)

Damn Pat.....you are just settin' it off these days. Serious bizness...

I just love the mix in this set. A little bit country, a little bit urban, and a boatload of hotness. That last shot almost jumps off the page.

"fake t/s" Which one? I'm *ass*uming that to be "fake tilt/shift", to which I'm missing?

I'm assuming the 9th photo is a fake tilt/shift done in Photoshop. I suppose it could be a real T/S lens... don't care for the photo either way.

I'm almost positive Pat is using a Hartblei T/S lens.

I know you're probably just setting the record straight ... but you could tell me he's using the Hubble Space Telescope I still like the photos I mentioned and do not like that one

(I know you weren't trying to sway me with the sexy lens name... just thought it ws funny)

What do you mean? You don't find "HARTBLEI" sexy? You're just not saying it slowly enough. It's so sexy it almost rolls off your tongue.

Seriously, I was just pointing out that it's a real T/S and not a fake. Liking it or not is a matter of opinion....and since I was abducted by aliens, I think my opinion should count for something.

Oh, BTW.....Chocolate Labs rock!

I don't know...I'm just not feeling the emotionless stares. Feels kind of faux fashiony or something. The smiles and laughs are good, but the ones where she's staring with dead eyes leave me cold. Never been a big fan of the partial body shots, or cutoff heads.

Overall the set rocks, but I'm with Lisy on the T/S shot...
It's not so much the T/S I have a problem with, rather I find the composition and posing completely lacking.
Perhaps it would have worked better if it was panned down and the couple was closer to the camera?

Again, nice set overall, she'll make a gorgeous bride

If it's a Hartblei, it has Opanda EXIF confused which seems to think it's a 35 f1.4. In which case I'd guess it is the TS Arsat 35mm / f=2.8 Tilt Shift since it's fired at 2.8.

I don't mind it though, pretty cool photo and good set overall. Nice work Pat.

really cool. if you have a lightroom preset for the processing i want it email it to me and I will send you good karma.

everything here was with the 35L. the 85L made an appearance for a few shots on my blog.

sam: thanks man, likewise with your stuff.

danny: thanks a lot dude, your last set was killer.

lisy78: i don't worry too much about chopped heads. it's 2009. we can break a few rules, can't we? and flare is epic. i was waiting for that much sun for a while!

maxwell1295: I think you've got that lens on your mind because mr hutt had one in NYC

jfinite: all laughter all the time would get boring. she liked the ones the best with the "faux fashion" feel. same comment about the chopped heads that I left lisy.

MPLS_photog: thanks dude!

kirstin: no major LR processing here. I mainly use it for cataloging and organizing files.

thanks for the comments peeps.

Awesome man - I love the sun glare shot. You are definitely one person to watch and are fast becoming a heavy hitter here. Keep up the awesome work!

They all seem so natural and well handled - you definitely put the golden hour to good use!
