Zipping Past the Miami Film Festival.
Eyecandy Tastes Better at my Portfolio!
You know you want a taste of my Eyecandy. But luckily, it comes in an abundance of sizes! Don’t think nasty; I’m referring to my photos over at portfolio.xynntii.com.You can see all of my photos by clicking “Portfolio” at the top. Some are misled by the slideshow, but those who have been to online portfolio’s before understand that it’s just an opening teaser.
You can even buy prints directly within the genre galleries so go crazy! The most popular print sold thus far this premiere month has been Venus Williams is Pretty Damn Intimidating! Listen: You don’t have to stress over it anymore. Buy that print in addition to any other within Eyecandy today.
Acknowledge the Olympia Theatre.
During the finale night of Miami Int’l Film Festival (MIFF) 2010 I was called to get some shots of the audience; folks waiting in line for tickets and making their way indoors. I wanted to create a sense of perspective and location so before crossing the street I got low, set up the tripod and take exposure takes its course. Coincidentally, a Benz sped by a the same time I triggered off. Fortunately I was able to capture the people in one piece, in contrast to the strobe effect from the vehicle.

The Most Blank Stares I’ve Ever Received.
More From Gusman Center During MIFF 2010
For some reason this year I took a completely different approach toward the Miami Int’l Film Festival. Instead of the usual boring podium pics, I made it a priority to capture the architecture of the Olympia Theatre, inside and out. Because of this initiative, I was able to see so much more of this place in comparison to last year, where I was highly distracted by Miami Female Eyecandy! 0_0
In continuation of the random discussion I created within the last MIFF image post, I was very shocked at how many people just stood around and starred at me as I got this shot. I didn’t received those “Oh, I’m so interested in what you’re doing” type stares. I got those “What the hell is he doing, he look ridiculous” type stares. I decided to set up for this shot after nearly everyone had left this area [the main entrance] and were seated in the theatre. I figured this would help alleviate traffic, which it did. But it didn’t prevent the spectators. Too bad no one bothered to raise their head to see what displayed above them. =/
“There’s No Way The Ceiling is Really That Illuminated!”
Well I have to be honest: it really isn’t. Obviously there would need to be a ginornous light source to create such an orgasmic-looking scene from above. Those ceiling lamps clearly would not provide that much illumination; hence the High Dynamic Range Imaging process. ^_^
1. I always use a tripod, so get in the habit of using one as well. It makes the editing process so much easier. At this site, I captured 3 shots at the exact same position using 3 different exposures, bracketed at -2, 0, +2. For HDRI’s, I consistently use Photomatix to fuse the exposures together. There is also a great tonemapping feature included in the program. Keep in mind though, Photomatix is typically only the first of about 8 steps.
2. Next, it’s time for Photoshop! Using color correction, desaturation and tonal contrast is a must. Color Efex Pro, an excellent plug-in that I use, can get this job done the best. I use it more than any other plug-in. I’m sure you will find it very productive and user-friendly.

Another interesting night at the Inter-Continental Hotel in dwntwn Miami. HOWEVER, I was unable to to comprehend why I decided to drink 2 liters of water before making my over there. What a coincidence that two people were leaving the bathroom and soon as I entered. I love privacy, but for different reasons this time. >_<
The lighting in this bathroom was frazy! Great illumination for a shot that I couldn’t resist. I had never taken this type of shot before so I decided to continue shooting even if someone came into the bathroom with me. & not surprisingly about 4 total guys entered and left the bathroom within a 3 minute time-span, which was hilarious. All 3 of them looked at me like I was crazy, but I had to stay focused yo!
