Jay P. Morgan Pictures Photo Blog

I love Photography and some times it loves me. This is a photo blog about the Photographs that I have shot, am shooting and will shoot. I write about the good times and the bad times of making a living taking pictures.

http://www.jaypmorgan.com/I know I committed to post even when its busy.  It is so hard to do when I’m working 12 to 14 a day.  I was shooting for Lifetime Products and shot this image of their “Jumping Jack Trailer”.  There were several images that I liked.
This shot was take the last day at Point Dune beach in Malibu.  The sun was gone so I got out the small Photoflex (http://www.photoflex.com/) mono block strobes and placed them into the tent.  The light that came out the windows of the trailer worked.  Combining the strobe light with a long exposure It keep us shooting for an hour after sunset.  At the beach you can not have a fire unless you hire a Fire Marshall and jump through all kinds of hoops.  I choose to simply put a strobe head into the metal fire ring that we bought at OSH and cover it with a red gel.  It works quite nicely.  I might retouch a flame into the fire ring to make it look better but don’t feel like it’s a must.
I hate to stop shooting when there is a chance something exciting will happen.  This shot is a good example.  The day was gone and we had been shooting for a long time but there was still light in the sky.  I just have a hard time walking away when there is even a little light left.  Strobes keep me shooting so I use them.  I’m loving my new camera the Canon 5D Mark 2.  It is sharp and the images look great.   I will start shooting HD as soon as I can.  Life tis good.  Until next time.
