It has been a seriously long time since I’ve done a band shoot. I am lucky enough to know these folks; Rad Max! After a brutal workday, the Canon 6D got dusted off, the 20mm and 50mm along with a couple cheap ass strobes (YongNuo 3’s) hit Portland’s Clinton Street Theater. What an awesome group to work with and a killer place to shoot. Naturally, one of those cheap ass strobes crapped out so single flash bounce was the option. Check out a couple pics
Taking I5 south from Portland to Eugene is a burn. Passing countless outlet malls, scenic wineries, the government seat and a very vintage theme park brings you to the crossing point. Highway 58 cuts east over the Cascades, past gorgeous forest lands that evolve from a thick Douglass Fir tangle along the water into an arid, Ponderosa Pine plateau shortly after crossing Willamette Pass at 5100′. We spent a couple days here, at Crescent Lake the first week after Labor Day. I packed my comfort meal, the Canon 6D, Sigma 50mm f1.4 lens, the EF 20mm f2.8. I pressed the shutter button a few times.
