Did a quick tour of the Southern Washington and Northern Oregon. Got caught up in the monsoon rains of last week...but managed to squeeze a few images.
The first is from Palouse falls taken with my A7R and Zeiss 21mm and the second is taken with my A7R and 16-35 Sony zoom from the tree hardwood tree farm in Oregon.

Well, Joshua - beautiful models and great captures. Surely you've got experience of shooting dangerous creatures in tropics so working with gorgeous models must feel less intimidating.

Douglas Liu - I really admire you captures of moods and colours. Very unique and gentle.

I agree with Douglas that your images have that distinctive look in them, especially the portrait images you posted here.
Here are 2 images from the same session and captured under similar conditions using two different lens on two different cameras. The idea was to compare the Sony 135mm f/1.8 to the Sony GM 70-200mm f/2.8. Quite informal comparison as I didn't bother to do that at the same aperture, for example both at f2.8, but both at their respective wide open to get the feel of what each...Show more →
Joshua, did those beauties pay you for photographing them or did you pay them for letting you photograph them?

I kicked my self for not realizing that one of them was set at 1/1000sec as the minimum shutter speed, and that's was the body where the GM lens was mounted on. That's why the resulting ISO for the GM lens was a tad too high. Oh, well. BTW, I made am effort to process the images that they look similar in color rendition, contrast, etc.Joshua, did those beauties pay you for photographing them or did you pay them for letting you photograph them?
Hi Douglas, neither actually. A bunch of photographers, in this case, 12 photographers, paid the organizer for the event. He/she turns it around uses the money to pay for the venue, which is typically a commercial place, like a B&B or place of events, like for wedding or for parties, etc.. That place will have to be rented for at least 6 hours. We are free to roam around and take pictures on the ground wherever we like for whatever time period we agree upon. A part of the money is used to pay for the rental of the fancy dresses and accessories, for the make-up artists, and to reimburse the models (none of them is a pro model) for their gas expenses plus some extra money maybe. My understanding the organizer doesn't make money either but he/she gets the chance of photographing the models for free.
So, nobody really makes money as such, for sure not the photographer. How much do we pay? Well, it depends on the expenses, somewhere between $50-$80 per photographer. For this one, we ended up paying $60.00 and for the French Estate, if you remember, it was $65.00.

A7II + CY 35/1.4That is one stunning shot - Great great capture...
May I ask how you process it? I mean was it a default color profile in LR or some special sauce? Looks really great also color wise, just as the first one with the 3 cars...Thank you kindly.
No color profiles. But the start is a good overcast sky and I think Contax colors count. After initial global adjustments in ACR I use PS add global and local contrast while masking unwanted areas (here: the background). Darken and lighten selectively. I prefer doing it with masks too though dodge/burn can be a more precise but time consuming alternative. Reiterate according to taste - or as I prefer to see it, closer to what your eyes caught compared to SOOC... hope it helps.Thank you for sharing this. Your pictures are simply outstanding.Thanks so much Olaf. Here's another one following the same scheme. Renault R4, quite common behind more plentyful Volvos and Volkswagens when I was a kid.

Joshua, are you based in SEA ? Your details say CA but your models seem to be mainly Asian (they look Malaysian ?) even though I saw one shot with three caucasians too (that wouldn't be surprising in Sing').

Thanks Ronny.
I am virtually retired now so my wife and I will be spending a lot more time traveling (esp. to Europe). I wanted to show her some of what makes Iceland special, so after spending her birthday in Florence (breakfast) and Siena (dinner) we visited our children in Belgium and London and spent a week in Iceland (Golden Circle, Reykjavik, Blue Lagoon + a couple of waterfalls I missed last time). Even though only a phoneographer she absolutely loved it (which means more future trips to this incredible country). I reckon 5 regions x 4 seasons = 20 trips should just about cover it, so only another 18 to go !!

A red Renault R4 was my uncle's car when I was a child...
Some night shots from the last weekend in London.
First with A7 and Contax Vario-Sonnar 35-70mm f3.4 @ f8 and 50mm.
Second with A7 and Contax Sonnar 100mm f3.5 @ f5.6.
It was a PITA to compensate for the sensor reflections in the first shot and I wonder how the pictures would look like if I had taken them with the A7II (A7rII is out of my price range).

Second with A7 and Contax Sonnar 100mm f3.5 @ f5.6.
It was a PITA to compensate for the sensor reflections in the first shot and I wonder how the pictures would look like if I had taken them with the A7II (A7rII is out of my price range).

These are great shots Olaf and you have done well to mitigate the effects of the sensor reflection. It was the sole reason I sold my original A7 and bought the A7r instead, since I particularly like to shoot cityscapes.
A red Renault R4 was my uncle's car when I was a child...
Some night shots from the last weekend in London.
First with A7 and Contax Vario-Sonnar 35-70mm f3.4 @ f8 and 50mm.
Second with A7 and Contax Sonnar 100mm f3.5 @ f5.6.

So, nobody really makes money as such, for sure not the photographer. How much do we pay? Well, it depends on the expenses, somewhere between $50-$80 per photographer. For this one, we ended up paying $60.00 and for the French Estate, if you remember, it was $65.00.Joshua, are you based in SEA ? Your details say CA but your models seem to be mainly Asian (they look Malaysian ?) even though I saw one shot with three caucasians too (that wouldn't be surprising in Sing').
My daughter used to do those 'mutually free' modeling shoots too when just starting. Tog, model and make-up artist all starting out and trying to build portfolios.
Hi Kevin, that's basically it. It is just strictly for fun for me and for the chance of trying out different lenses. I forgot to add to the answer to Douglas' question, the photogs are supposed to provide images to the models and MUA to add to their portfolio.
I am based in California and in general, with some exceptions, event organizers are not trying to make a living out of this. In Asia, it is a little bit different. They do not participate in the photography end of it and it is definitely more a way to make a living. But the actual amount they charge, in US $ that is, is relatively lower. Now, the ironic thing is, Asian models are quite popular here in the US but Caucasian models are more in demand in Asia. It just shows that we are very International in our preference. I am sure that you are aware there is a fairly high concentration of Asians here in California.
I have seen some images of your daughter that you posted here. Both your wife and daughter are very lovely. I do not mean any disrespect and I hope you don't mind me saying that.
Thanks,
Joshua

Hi Douglas, neither actually. A bunch of photographers, in this case, 12 photographers, paid the organizer for the event. He/she turns it around uses the money to pay for the venue, which is typically a commercial place, like a B&B or place of events, like for wedding or for parties, etc.. That place will have to be rented for at least 6 hours. We are free to roam around and take pictures on the ground wherever we like for whatever time period we agree upon. A part of the money is used to pay for the rental of the fancy dresses and accessories, for the make-up artists, and to reimburse the models (none of them is a pro model) for their gas expenses plus some extra money maybe. My understanding the organizer doesn't make money either but he/she gets the chance of photographing the models for free.So, nobody really makes money as such, for sure not the photographer.
