i wish i had AB's. believe it or not......my strobes are from the mid 1980's! my grandfather was a photographer back then and he gave me his old lighting kit about a year ago! its no where near as nice as the stuff out now, it doesnt even have output adjustments on the back of the strobes but it was FREE and it works lol if i need more light, i just have to move the strobes closer, if i need less i have to move them further back

ill break down and buy a AB's set-up one day

 

Hey guys, it's been a while since I updated you guys on my photography. Most of you guys are more familiar with my automotive photography work but in actuality, my core work is with fashion-portraits-design photography. I'm doing a campaign that involves launching my new website and facebook to showcase my photography - it would help me greatly if you have facebook and become a fan of Alvin Nguyen Photography.

Become a fan on facebook! http://www.facebook.com/AlvinNguyenPhotography

I've done a lot of photoshoots for local models and car enthusiasts for no cost and I just want to get my name out there to start doing more pro stuff. I'll be featured on the Vietnamese Television network VHN-TV on the Nguyen Uy Long Talkshow later this month if you have that channel (I know there are a lot of Viet members on here )

If you want to check out my work, please head over to my new site [please excuse the small amount of pictures since it was just launch last night!)

Here are some samples of my work:

+1 Became a fan. Great work!

 

I am trying to teach my self HDR photography. Does anyone have three pics with different exposures I can borrow?

EDIT: My first attempt at HDR. How is it?



I know the clouds and some of the buildings are a little messed up but I think that is because of "Noise Reduction" in Photomatix.

 

AlvinHuyN, do I need to be signed into flickr to have your photos show up? At the moment they show up as blank and "this photo is currently unavailable"

 

Sorry guys, my PRO account with flickr expired and I switched over to my entirely new site. You can check it out at www.alvinnguyen.com It's got my latest work and is a lot more professional than flickr. I'll start up a free flickr page jsut for portfolio work later but right now Im only focusing on my site!

 

Couple random shots and shots from Super Lap Battle in Buttonwillow..

 

Nice photos!

 

awesome write up!!! I am taking photography (just started) this write up makes it look so easy and I hope to be taking pics that look that good sometime soon!!

 

This is an awesome thread! Now that some time has passed, are there any recommendations on new dslr cameras that are out now? Any suggestions to someone looking to get started with a dslr and also take some video?

 

what editing program should i get?

 

i do a lot in lightroom.

anything else i do is in cs3. cs3 can do everything lightroom can do, its just ALOT easier to do in lightroom
