God that blows. Especially when time is at a premium.
But on a bright note, it's always good to try something new. Like photographing someone in drag. A completely new experience for me. And kind of awesome, to be perfectly honest. I didn't have to sit through the "transformation" process, which was nice. As much as I'd like sitting and watching someone put makeup on someone else for 3 hours, eating a sandwich was way better.
And I think I fired somewhere in the ballpark of 350 shots in less than an hour. We were losing light pretty quick. And it was cold.
So here are a few of the drag shots.
Clothing designer: Jenine Hi
Makeup: Raymond Smith
Photographer: Me. Duh
Model: Chris (not sure of his last name) aka Pretty
Probably can't tell as well in a small photo, but #2 wasn't a particular favorite, but it's one of the only ones where you can see that there is a wedding photo shoot going on in the background. It still makes me laugh knowing that there's a slight (although highly unlikely) possibility that their wedding photos may have a guy in drag somewhere in the background.

Hey....what equipment were you using? Was the card the same make as the others? That is really disturbing! No way to counter a failure.... I have had no issues thus far with data recording, so I haven't a clue on what could have happened! Glad you had a lot to take from the shoot though...great to see some professional shots!
ReplyDeleteI've never had an issue with losing data on cards either. I've heard the occasional horror story, but never had one myself. And I've used that card for a while with no problems.
ReplyDeleteIt's the same as my other main cards. It's a Sandisk Extreme IV 8gb. I have 3 of them that I use on rotation so it forces me to offload every 450 shots or so. I have a couple 4 GB and a 2 GB CF also, but shooting in RAW eats up those pretty fast.
As for the shoot, I was using my Nikon D200 with a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens.
I'm more pissed that I'm going to need to replace that card. I can't take the chance that it'll fail again, so I chucked it even though it seemed fine when I tested it again.
