PIX OF THE WEEK - Trace Bundy

LOCATION: Burlington, Vermont

CAMERA: Canon 5D Mark II

LENS: Canon 70-200mm F2.8 L Series IS Lens

DATE: November 2009

 

Based out of Boulder, Colorado Trace Bundy has become something of an Internet phenomena - a prime example of the power of Youtube one might say.  Completely self-taught, because as he could never afford lesson, he is known to his fans as "The Acoustic Ninja" for his unique legato/finger tapping skills.  His playing style features him playing with both hands on the fretboard, intricate fingerpicking arpeggios and the inventive use of multiple capos.

 

When performing live, he employs a live looping technique.  Check this really cool Youtube clip out.  I think after hearing and seeing this, you won't ever think of GnR, Axel Rose and Slash the same way again.  Really amazing stuff!

For those of you on my list from the great 802, Trace is playing at UVM’s Davis Center on Feb 12th – def worth checking out before heading down to Nectars for the reggae.

 

As a short side note, before pursuing his music career in a full-time capacity, Bundy was an engineering professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

 

Exposure was at 1/160th of a second at F10.  Lighting was a single Dynalite 4040 head with a medium-sized softbox fired by a PocketWizard Mini.

PIX OF THE WEEK - Xavier Rudd

DATE: July 2009PIX_OF_WEEK_-_Xavier_Rudd_

 

I always get really excited about photographing emerging artists because you never know when they might grow into the next Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash or U2.  So when I got the opportunity to shoot Australian multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter Xavier Rudd this past July, I was particularly jazzed.  I first heard of Xavier when a few of his tunes appeared in the not so memorable movie SURFER DUDE starring Matthew McConaughey.  Total crap movie, but some great music featured throughout the film.

 

Xavier is interesting in the fact that he plays guitar, the didgeridoo, lap steel, banjo and harmonica all while taking over vocal duties.  In addition to a having a bit of reggae feel to his sound, he’s seems to have picked up where another famous Australian act, Peter Garrett and Midnight Oil left off in terms of music that incorporates socially conscious themes, such as environmentalism and the rights of Aborigal people.  Check him out on Youtube and let me know what you think:

Born in Lettsworth, Louisiana in 1936, 5-time Grammy Award Winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Buddy Guy has been playing his style of Chicago Blues for the better part of 6 decades.  

Buddy Guy has been credited to directly influencing the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimmy Page and countless other major blues/rock guitarists over the past 40+ years.  In addition, his songs have been covered by Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, the Rolling Stones, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mayall and many others.  Even Mr. Slowhand himself is quoted as saying, "Buddy Guy is by far and without a doubt the best guitar player alive..."  

All I can say is that if you haven't had a chance to see this man jam - please do, it's a must, you won't be disappointed.  He is one of the last of the Chess Music greats still out there performing and he's still and always will be an incredible showman!!!

In keeping with the fall season, this past Saturday, my friend Brad and I went for a drive in his convertible down to Bolton to check out some of the foliage.  We mounted a camera behind us in the car and as we were flying down the road, I trigged the shutter remotely via a PocketWizard Plus II.

Since I received such a great response from the Saphe photos I sent out a month or so ago, I thought it was only fitting that I send something from the second shoot I did with Saphe.

Once again, Saphe comes to us courtesy of Cambodia and as once again, there were so many amazing shots, it was quite challenging to pick just one shot from the session!!!

Exposure was at 1/200th of a second at F14. Lighting was provided by two Dynalite 440 heads mounted in a medium-sized soft boxes triggered by a PocketWizard Mini.

LENS: Canon 24-105mm F4 L Series IS LensPIX_OF_THE_WEEK_-_Bill_Buckner1
DATE: July 6, 2009

This past Monday I photographed former Red Sox Baseman Bill Buckner when he was in town for a Lake Monsters game.
I think most people forget that Bill Buckner played in the majors for 21 years.  I'll say that again - 21 YEARS!!!   Not only was Buckner a former all-star selection when he played for the Chicago Cubs, but he even held the NL batting average title at one point in his career.  Perhaps it's been the 20+ years and/or the two World Series titles that has let the Red Sox Nation forgive and forget - but either way its nice to see the very warm welcoming he received at last year's home opener in Fenway.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W12h9gNxdpo

Thanks for the 21 years Bill!!!

Exposure was at 1/125th of a second at F5.6 (ISO 400).  For lighting, I used on camera 580 flash mounted atop of a PocketWizard Mini that also fired a Canon 430 attached at a PW Flex unit.

DATE: July 2009

Tony Bennett has been performing on the stage for the better part of over 7 decades and I don't care what genre of music you are into, he
still leaves audiences in awe - even at the age of 83!!!

I never got to see Sinatra perform, but from what I saw of Tony Bennett, I can only imagine that this was probably the closest thing you'd ever
get to seeing a true great performer and one of the best in the history of show business.

Exposure was 1/100th of a second at F2.8

PS - I didn't know this until I did a bit of research of Mr. Bennett - did you know that his real name is Anthony Dominick Benedetto and his
stage name of "Tony Bennett" was given to him by the legendary Bob Hope.  How many other guys in show biz can say they were given their name by Bob Hope???

LOCATION: Abingdon, Maryland  
CAMERA: Canon 5D Mark IINPIX_OF_THE_WEEK_-_Seth_Lehman
LENS: Canon 24-105 F4 L Series IS Lens
DATE: August 2009

For those of you who know me well, you probably know that I’ve seen THE GREAT ESCAPE over 100x and it’s my favorite movie of all time.  So needless to say, when I had the opportunity to do this shot, you can only imagine how excited I was. This shot of Seth Lehman (Senior Construction Superintendent at Pizzagall Construction) was taken in a tunnel that is being built under I-95 in Abingdon, Maryland as part of a large $100M+ wastewater construction project.  From what I understand this 105-inch tunnel will serve as a channel for piping in and out of the facility.  

Not only did our equipment have to be lowed in by crane, but we also had to climb down a network of ladders into the shaft that entered into the tunnel system.  Yes, it was muddy, wet, slippery and very treacherous, but it came as a very welcome relief to the 95F hot and 100% humidity at the surface (the tunnel stays a constant 55F no matter what the weather).

Exposure was at 1/20th of a second at F4.  Lighting was provided by two Canon 580 flashes attached to a pair of PocketWizard Flex units held by NBM Creative Director Brian Mullins and an assistant and triggered by a PocketWizard Mini mounted atop the camera.

Sorry I have been off the radar and MIA the past two weeks – I have just been insanely busy.  Anyway, I dedicate this photo to my friend Tom who always sends me emails asking “where are all the beautiful women you photograph!!!”  Well Tom, Saphe comes to us courtesy of Cambodia.  And I’ve got to be honest, there were so many amazing shots of her that I was unable to pick just one – in fact, picking 4 even took some time.  Enjoy Tom!!!

I found Isaac hanging around in the Mill by my studio with his friend last week. He was very fascinated with all my camera gear and I invited him in to the studio to check things out. Isaac is 10 years old and is from Tanzania and has been here in the States for about a year.

He had this amazing smile and an amazing self-confidence of himself, especially for being 10, so I asked him to pose for me. He said he would if I gave him a soda (actually he pocked 3 or 4 of them). Probably like you, other than knowing Tanzania is a country in Africa, I didn’t know much about Tanzania so I looked it up.

The East African nation of Tanzania is about twice the size of California and is bordered by Kenya and Uganda to the north, Rwanda, Burundi and the Congo to the west, and Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique to the south and has a population of approximately 40M. Isaac told me he really likes soccer and tells me he much prefers Vermont to Africa, but doesn’t like the cold.

I photographed Isaac with single Dynalite 440 Head fitted with a medium-sized soft box.

Exposure was at 1/250th of a second at F14 (ISO 100)

This series is a really nice example of how to use the new PocketWizard Flex TT5 & Mini along with a standard studio head and pack while taking advantage of the unit's full TTL functional capability.  

I placed a pair of Canon 580EXs into the diving bell (each mounted atop of a PocketWizard Flex).  I then placed a Dynalite 4040 head and pack fitted with a beauty dish outside the craft. I took a meter reading of the output of the Dynalite setup and set my camera accordingly.  I fired all three flash units using a PW Mini.  

Exposure was set at 1/200th of a second at F13 (ISO 100)

LENS: Canon 24-105mm F4 L Series IS Lens
DATE: March 2009

Frost Heaves SG Benson Callier goes up for a baseline slam over Manchester center Marc Mazur. What I really like about this image is that it really has that "old school" feel and look to things - and no, not something from the MJ era - but from the Russell and Chamberlain era when games were played in dark dingy broken down arenas and smoke filled the rafters as thick as fog. And anyone who has ever been to Memorial Auditorium (built in the 1920s) knows what I am talking about.

This image was taken using the new PocketWizard Mini and is a real good example of its high-speed sync capabilities. A bank of 4 packs of lighting was set up hours prior to tip off (a pair of Profoto packs at the far court mounted in the rafters and a pair of Elinchom units mounted above in the near court each with a PocketWizard Multimax plugged in).

Sorry for no PIX OF THE WEEK last week. I just finished up an intense 10 days of shooting and covering the events and performances of the DISCOVER JAZZ FEST here in Burlington. And once again, I had the opportunity to meet, see and photographic some amazing artists. Here is one such shot from the festival.

Jason Palmer is the trumpet player for 17 year-old saxophone composer and performer prodigy Grace Kelly. Jason is originally from High Point, NC and now resides in Boston where he performs regularly and teaches at the New England Conservatory of Music.

I have to admit, this image was partly inspired by Mile Davis’s KING OF BLUE album cover and John Coltrane’s BLUE TRAIN – see links:

George and the crew made their annual visit to Burlington last month and I was lucky enough to be on hand.  I was there to get some shots of guitar great Mike "Kid Funkadelic" Hampton for some promo shots he needed for some upcoming personal projects he is working on.  BTW - for those who have never seen Mike Hampton perform "Maggot Brain" - you are really missing something special!!!

As always, those who went experienced another wild and crazy time from the funk master himself!!!

I was taking some modeling pix of William's mother who is from the Congo in the studio.  When she showed, up, she brought in tow -- her 2-year old son.  While she was changing her clothes, web designer/photographer Ben Brunt who was helping me, suggested I take a few shots of William.  William cooperated without as much as a whimper.  In just a few short seconds, I fired thru about 10 pix - all coming out amazing in the way he just stared at the lens silently with his big curious eyes.   

Shots were taken using a single Dynalite 4040 head fitted with a beauty dish (as clearly evidenced in a by the "ring-like" catch lights in his eyes) fired remotely using a PocketWizard MiniTT1.  

Exposure was 160th of a second at F16 (ISO 100).

PIX OF THE WEEK - Tara by Mike Worthington Photographer Burlington, Vermont
I guess photos of fantastic vacation getaways or tributes to our fallen heroes or behind the scenes recording sessions aren't enough because all I've been hearing from folks lately is "Where are the pix of all the beautiful women?"  Well ask and you shall receive. 

Recently Tara dropped by the studio and I took a few shots.  As you will probably all agree - she is a real stunner -- and a real pro too – an awesome subject in front of the camera.  

Shots were taken using a Dynalite 4040 head fired thru a medium-sized soft box at 200th of a second at F16 using 100 ISO.  The strobes were fired remotely using the awesome brand new PocketWizard MiniTT1 as a test of PW.

PS – Actually I got some wonderful feedback the other week of my shot of the Wall.  Many thanks to everyone who commented.

SUBJECT: Pier 60PIX OF THE WEEK - Pier 60 Clearwater, Florida by Mike Worthington Photographer Burlington Vermont
LOCATION: Clearwater, Florida  
CAMERA: Canon 1D Mark IIN
LENS: Canon 24-105mm F4 L Series Lens
DATE: November 2008

I was in Clearwater this past November for a speaking engagement and had a few hours to kill so I took a stroll along the beach and took these shots of Pier 60.  I used a red filter to help bring out the sky and increase the contrast some.  


Exposure for at 1/400th of a second at F8
