Coming Soon to Zivity: "Titan Addams"

Halloween is just a few days away, but I wanted to help celebrate a little early and give all of you a little teaser of an upcoming Zivity set with Titan (since it will probably be after the spooky season before the set goes live).

Titan and I wanted to channel everyone's favorite "spooky girl" while taking a little walk around Atlanta. When we shot the set we wanted some place strange and a little bit scary, little did we both know that the leaves wouldn't be changing for another week. Either way we had a great time, and both had a hard time narrowing down the shots to the final set.

Take a look here, and keep your eyes open for our homage to that strange pop culture family phenomenon. 

Cara Mia!

Also before I forget be sure to keep up for the roll of shots we shot at the same time for the 52rolls project. Every Friday at 10:00am over at the project blog.

And as always I do have a few 30 days free trials to Zivity available. Just drop me an email through the contact page on the website or to INFO@UNEXPhotography.com and I'll get you taken care of. If you like what you see be sure to throw us a few votes in the process. It helps both of us create new and exciting sets, and we will both love you in the process!

Week 30 – DragonCon in Black and White – Various Films

50 ROLLS! As of this entry there are 50 rolls that have been shot and shown to all of you. The journey is almost complete...although much earlier than expected. I've already shot next week's entry into this adventure and I believe I have 12 rolls of film left. This should put me up to 42 weeks (10 weeks short of my goal of a year). So what does this mean? Well...if I have the spare pocket money I will try to pick up 10 more rolls and finish 52 weeks of entries. If not, we'll figure something out.

I'd like to take a moment to say a big early THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me and kept up with this blog. Your comments and love has been instrumental to the success I feel about 2015.

But without further ado, DragonCon Mega Update 2, This time in Black and White.

Week 29 – Only I Could Underexpose a Roll of 3200iso – Ilford Delta 3200

Just trust the meter on the app on your phone, what could possibly go wrong. Famous last words if I ever said them myself. I'm not exactly mad at the results, but I'm not exactly what one would call "happy". 

According to everything I had in front of me, I was able to shoot comfortably at 1/60th of a second while being a little less than wide open. So in theory I should have had much better exposed images. But sometimes these things happen. Maybe there is something a little more that I need to learn about 3200 iso films.  

Looking back at these images (because I totally forgot to write copy for them when I put them in the queue to be posted last month) my only other wish was that I took more time to focus properly. Especially in these low light conditions.

DJ System Fail – 2015

After seeing what Stan and I were able to do last week. Another friend of mine from the old Shelter days (RIP) Cody aka DJ System Fail said he wanted to get some photos done as well.

This shoot was special for a few reasons (and I have a feeling I know what you are going to say "Oh hey, look, another black background shoot" well yes. But more important than that this was my first time working with a full frame mirrorless camera).

My first shoot shot on a truly "professional" piece of equipment. Granted I am borrowing it from my day job, but that's a whole other story. (Also long story short, I'm pretty happy with the results...except that somehow in the middle of shooting it switched from RAW to JPEG and I lost some ability to edit in post.)

The most exciting thing from this shoot is after capturing digital photos. We decided it was time to shoot the final "official" roll of my 52 rolls project. After I develop this roll I will probably need to re-name the blog something to the effect of "The GREATER THAN 52 Rolls Project". Those photos will be developed today, and will probably be hitting the blog the first week in November. So be on the lookout then.
