Of Monsters and Men First Person Shooter
As I continue with the First Person Shooter Project I bring you this photo and video from the Of Monsters and Men show. This is just a taste of what is to come from this first person shooter segment.
Being that I knew I was going to have three songs to shoot I decided to let the video run the entire time. The idea is to show you what I was able to capture in the three songs I was allotted. This will give many of you a feel for how little time three songs is.
This image was captured with the Nikon D4 and the Nikon 16mm 2.8 fisheye shot at 6400 ISO and processed in Adobe Lightroom 4.
For not having a lot of light I am very happy with what this image looks like. I decided to shoot with the 16mm at the start of the show because I felt that would be a good change to captured the entire band in one photo. The idea for me is to run through as many lenses as possible to give myself as many angles as possible in three songs.
Stay tuned in the future for the full three song set with all the images I captured.

The Fro and His Grandma Lil #92 – Watching Trees Grow
Lil for some reason kept mentioning this tree we have in the family room. She kept asking if it got bigger or something along those lines. The tree has not really grown that much but I guess that is what happens after you don’t see it for a month or two.
The monkey that Lil is referring to in this video is our cat Mr. Miowgi she always loved calling him a “little monkey”. Sit back and enjoy this 92nd appearance of Lil in a video.

AdoramaPix Rapid Fire Critique 27
In this weeks AdoramaPIX Rapid Fire Critique I have photos from someone I met at Zack Arias’s lighting seminar named Carmine. Carmine recently picked up photography and I can say he has the right idea.
I really like his story of how he became a photographer and one day I hope to have him on to tell it.
Carmine sent over a few more images than 10 but I think they were all worthwhile to critique. Like with most of my critiques I was very straight forward. I think Carmine would not want anything less than that.
There are some images in there that I would definitely knock out for the future and than there are a handfull of images that just really pop and work. I love the environmental portraits, I love how he combined multiple images to help tell the story and it worked.
I really like the direction Carmine is going and I really hope he keeps pushing ahead with his photography.

Fuji X Pro 1 Unboxing and Sniff Test
I got my hands on the Fuji X Pro 1 today at Allen’s Camera. So many people have been waiting for a less expensive quality option to what Leica puts out. This camera seems to be shaping up to be a camera that many pros want to take around opposed to lugging their larger systems.
Fuji has been known to make amazing sensors and lenses and that continues here with the new Fuji X Pro 1. I have always loved to color and clarity that has come out of fuji’s sensors going back to the S5 Pro.
All of my big ass prints are printed on fuji crystal archival and I used to love using fuji film back in the day.
Who is this camera system for. This system is for anyone who one can afford to have a second camera system or is looking to replace their larger cameras and lenses with a quality replacement. I will keep hammering this idea home but it really does not matter what camera system you use, what matters is that you know what your doing when it comes to capturing moments.
I could see carrying around a fuji X Pro 1 and capturing the world around me. I would even use it in the pit at a concert. I love the challenge of using any camera I have to capture great images.
