I’ve done it 2 years ago, while playing with Canon Speedlight strobes: that time we did not have much assignments and I spend time in studio exploring new techniques, a lot of resulting photos found a place in our stock collection.
I was surprised when Cheryl Church (www.cherylchurch.com)
It was unusual from the beginning: Guard at the entrance asked my first and last name, grass lawn with “please do not walk” sign, mostly Indian people around and amazing, unbelievable beauty of the place. It was like a tele-portation from dirty and boring streets of Lilburn to opposite side of the globe. This is
This Sunday I was left at home with my lovely two daughters (we have twins), wife went to therapeutic shopping, and had great opportunity to do nothing and just watch our kids. Well, it lasted for about 5 minutes, after we have played for a while, and.. I’ve jumped to what I really like to
That day was one of unusual for Atlanta windy, cold and low humidity days, when we gathered with our friends from PhotoSniffers.com to shoot a spectacular Atlanta Downtown sunset. We found a few places for the shoot, got a permission to shoot form one of it (one month of waiting).
Would like to announce that we start to release free to download images at our Stock images website. Now, most of the new images will be free for download. Also, we decided to release a full resolution photo in our free collection, in opposite to a limited version (1920×1200 pixles) we use to have there,

A cake from a Whole Foods Grocery, same technique as we have used HERE, except white background. White because it was for a microstock, as they like products on a white. Start feeling that we’ll need to shoot more like this, as these images age quite popular on iStock and Shutterstock.
Some examples oh high-speed photography we did a while ago. I have used 3 Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash units, synchronization was done by hand:-)
Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III camera, manual shooting mode, 1/250 sec, F4.5. Shutter speed does not really matter, as actual flash duration was about 1/3000 sec.
Have decided to try micro-stock agencies, like Shutterstock.com and iStock.com. Loaded several photos, mostly water splashes I did a while ago. So far Shutterstock.com is the best, it start producing a revenue from the fist day. Not much, but considering that I have just a few photos there, it looks promising. So, it appeared that I
Questions and Answers. Quite often I receive interesting questions about the particular lighting setup or issue with the particular shot that other photographers are dealing with and such questions is not directly related to any post I have here in the blog. Read More->>
