Picture of the day Feb 20, 2011: Brian Ritter was testing the side light fixtures at the Spokane Youth Ballet's Dancing Princesses rehearsal. I managed to get a shot of the dancer for the split second before the sole light faded...

I am printing orders as they come in while shooting pictures just about every evening this week and next. This shot was passed over, but was a fun idea that I thought should see the light of day. Maddison brought lots of fun things on the shoot including a bike. Click here to see a few more shots from this and other shoots.

I have been a long time user of Red Giant Software in both video and photo editing. They have some great color correction tools as well as the “looks” software that is a great start toward creating unique and interesting images. I recently downloaded the iPhone app “Plastic Bullet” and its become my main camera app for images. I purchased it without reading a review or even reading the description of the of app. I have figured out that the “Plastic” part of the name come from the lens that its tries to replicate and the replicate it does. I found that if you get a good exposure it will lead to a Holga type image that will fool most people in to thinking that you’ve used expired film with all the light leakage of the legendary camera. I posted a bunch of these on facebook already, but if you are not a friend then you have not seen them...
All in all, a really good job getting vintage looks out of plain images and stellar images out of the better iPhone images. I would watch out for over exposed areas around your main subject. They tend to get washed out. Sometimes a cool effect, but other times, they get lost. Let me know what you think of the app in the comments section. Its only $1.99.

This is one of the about 6500 images I took last month while shooting pictures in Ballet Arts for the recital slide show. I’ve been doing this for about 5 years now and am amazed to see the changes as the dancers grow up and change. At some point I need to figure out a way to sort the images by dancer to see the progression from 2005 on. That will be quite the project!

Quinne and Helen stopped by the studio for a quick session on Quinne’s 15th birthday. Only have time to post one, the same one I e-mailed to her dad who is on tour in Florida with Phantom of the Opera
Happy birthday Quinne!

Sorry I am slow to update the site! Here are a few pictures taken during some SI audition session...
I shoot the 1st Arabesque pictures with two umbrellas and one monolight on a Avenger boom high, center, about 2 feet back, shooting down the backdrop. This is with just the backdrop light.
A Kelsey Jump
Bella was shot with the backdrop light and and one nikon speed light with a Honl snoot.

It’s been a long couple of weeks with Lion King in town and getting ready for Lewis and Clark High School’s production of Guys and Dolls. I saw the run through for Guys and Dolls last night and its looks killer with some big dance numbers. Guys and Doll will be playing Dec 4th-6th and Dec 10th-12th. Ticket prices and more info at the Tiger Drama website.
Instead of one picture this week, I have the head shots for the 2009-2010 Theatre Ballet Company. Swing by my Facebook page and have a look at all of them.
Another, just a quick note. I’ve been working with Dodie to put Ballet Arts Academy on the web. In the future, class schedules and other general information will get posted there. Check it out and offer me feedback as to what you might like to see and be of help to you.

Picture of the Week for November 16th 2009. A simple picture in the back alley. It always amazes me that the little sliver of weeds in the middle of downtown Spokane can look like a large field out in the Palouse.
And a bonus back alley picture...
