Happy Summer!

Aloha All! It’s officially the first day of summer! This only means one thing…Fun in the sun! It’s been a while since my last post so I’ll brief you all with whats been going on. As James had mentioned I have recently made the decision to take my obsession of photography to the next level and invested in a Canon EOS 30D digital camera! Unlike James, who is currently working on various flash lighting techniques by Strobist, I need to rely mostly on natural lighting only due to the fact that I lack the luxury of owning a flash. But as you all know now, We just ordered more and I’ll be getting my hands on one soon! Yippee!

For someone who has been using a point and shoot camera, upgrading to a SLR has been a whirlwind of fun! So many possibilities and even more to learn! Here’s some samples of what I have been doing so far with just natural lighting:

I’ve been playing around a lot with Strobist techniques in the last couple of months, sadly using only one lonely strobe. This will all change, though! Yes, we at Techy3 will have 2 more flashes *and* a 2 umbrella kit coming in soon. Kevin and I will be sharing them. So what does that mean for our clients? Professional studio lighting - on the go, anywhere you like, at anytime of the day! Even at high-noon!

One flash has been loads of fun to play with and two more will really open up the possibilities. Here are some samples of what I’ve been doing so far. :)
