Sports Photography Using HDR Composite Images

By | Canon 6D, Composite Photography, HDR Photography, Photography | One Comment

Well as promised I will be doing more portraits this year, my thinking was to combine my art work with people to create one of a kind images that you can’t get from just anyone.  Sports Photography will be one thing that I’m going to push towards allowing your kids or athletes to become superstars by turning up the normal sports photographs a few notches. Here’s an example using my son Alex as a model and baseball as the sport. The HDR background was taken at a local baseball field the kids used this past season. Then the model or subject photograph is taken in a studio setting but this could be taken anywhere using a solid background and with enough space using soft boxes and speed lights.  If you have any questions about my work or if you’re interested in having portraits like this taken feel free to contact me at NFirebaugh@NFirebaughimages.com .

Composite Photography Coming In 2013

By | Canon T2i, HDR Photography, Virginia | No Comments

I will be offering a new service called composite photography, this combines studio work with my HDR work.  This is a two part process one the subject will be photographed in a studio setting using lighting and a solid color background. Second the background is shot using HDR or High Dynamic Range Photography. Then both are combined together to create one awesome eye catching image.  To give you a little idea of what this can look like here’s an example I took recently.

My First Attempt At Light Painting

By | Photography | No Comments

So this past weekend I decided to give Light Painting a try. Armed with my  Canon T2i camera, tripod, my Metz flash and one single LED flashlight I created this image. First I used the flash to create the light on the ground and to light up the tree, Second I used the Green LED flashlight to attempt to make an orb which is harder than it looks, I then combined the images using photoshop to get the final image you see below.
