Had a full weekend with chores, meetings and photography of a certain kind. Anyways, here's one photo I approached it using some tips I picked up from Louis' workshop. Yes, I know it's a tiny pitcher plant but who says wedding photography and macro plant photography are different. In case you're wondering, it's for my brother-in-law's new blog.

In case you're wondering, that's the Think Tank Modulus System - Pro Speed Belt, Pixel Racing Harness, Speed Changer, Lens Changer 75 and R U Thirsty.

We had tremendous fun just doing this shoot and eating that it felt more like a holiday than a photo shoot. That said, I think we did get some really great shots, the super hot weather not withstanding. There's like so many things that Louis taught during his workshop that I had a tough time trying to remember. I think at least I got the location, lighting and skills bit. The story and the reaction needs work. All in all, this is definitely 5% better, and I can't wait for the next 5%...

From Ordinary to Extraordinary Workshop...

There's nothing ordinary about Louis' workshop. From technical skills to people skills, Louis' heart, passion, love and energy is at such a high level that it will leave you so charged up that the next time you hold your camera to your eye, you'll still hear his voice! You not only see how the maestro works but more importantly, there's no secrets and Louis really opens up all his experience, knowledge and skill for you to tap. You'll find out soon enough that love and passion count more than f-stops and shutter speeds! Probably the only money you spend on Photography that will not lose value!
