Zombie Tennis

Just finished shooting some new zombie photos, this time, playing tennis!

Archived : Delft

October 26, 2009 : Just got back from a week in Delft, the Netherlands, visiting photographer and fellow iStock Inspector Ivar Teunissen. Had a great time checking out the town, going to parties, and meeting tons of cool fun people.

Made it up to Amsterdam, of course, where we played with the new Canon 7D on a small video shoot for a local DJ group.

Calgary

Just spent a week on the road - drove up to Calgary for iStockalypse HQ. It was really great to meet so many other iStock folks, and the drive was nice too - drove through the Grand Tetons and camped out in Yellowstone and Glacier on the way up.

Max Uploads

Well, It's been quite a while since I was able to max out my uploads on istockphoto, but I've managed to do it again.. 100 files in a week.

And for those of you just getting started in stock photography, or any kind for that matter, Matjaž posted a great little article on lighting standards.

50D

Recently picked up a Canon 50D, and have run a few test shoots.. a party and two portrait sessions. So far I'm happy with the new camera, despite running into an initial issue with chromatic aberration (purple fringing). Some of the shots are in the flickr feed, and I've already managed to get most of Andria's session up on iStock.

On another fun note - one of the reasons I picked up this camera was the high fps, great for sports. Today was the first snowfall in Denver, and I'm excited to get up to the slopes, both to ride and shoot!

Life as an Image Inspector

Fellow iStock Inspector Rasmus Rasmussen has written up a nice little piece on what we do, touching on things like compression, chromatic aberration, fishheads and the need for a properly calibrated monitor. Check it out here.

Update

Some of the Utah RR2 images are in my flickr feed.. a few of the istock inspectors got together for an evening shoot. Good times indeed.

I've also added a few images to the published work section of this site.
