- Shot on a ship nonetheless.

Read the description. I don't think it turned out too bad. I'm sure my color base is off. But for it being GIMP and not having a copy of PS. I 'THINK' I did okay.

Dear Paul,

Thank you very much for the great work on the "Backlash" photo shoot. The lighting is quite nice!

Best,
Jade Esteban Estrada

Nice work with Loren in that latest album. Boy, do I hope we see more of her soon!

Thanks for sharing!

hey...thanks for the visit...haven't seen you in a while; your work is as excellent as ever!

Your site is great as usual. Love the AmberSept photos. Outstanding photos and an exceptional model.

Hi Paul!

It's been more than a year since turning myself in a passive mode here on Fotki... The main reason is a tremendous growth of activity at Zorz Studios resulting from greater exposure, increasing referrals and bookings, taking on new artistic projects, travel, establishing a shared location in our Manhattan studio, and active presence on Facebook.

I would love to make a comeback to Fotki to share all the spectacular work we did... but need to allocate time for that - a seemingly impossible task nowadays...

While I am struggling with time management, I invite you to connect with me on Facebook where my fans have an advantage of sneak previews of anything exciting as early as the following day. You can find me as Ed Hafizov there, and also become a fan of Zorz Studios page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/New-York-NY/Zorz-Studios-Fine-Art-Wedding-Photography/32619948229).

Also, I invite you to visit my blog at www.zorzstudios.com/blog for news and updates.

In the meantime, here is a glimpse of what I shot in the last year (click photo below to see the rest of the collection):

New album!

From summer vacation with the boys. Drop by and let know what you think? Nothing racy, just being artsy with the camera, but you might find 'em entertaining.

Thanks,

~Dizzard

Thank you for stopping by and I appreciate the comments. Especially the one about my elbow, I am always thankful for any critiques to help me in future shoots. :)

LoL That's why I show this stuff to you pros! Not the first time I've missed that.

I cloned in a flower by her ear...

Thank you (from both of us)!

~Diz

Whoohoo! New album! (Okay, maybe that was a bit over the top.)

Not a lot of Mrs. Diz in this set--I mean, hey, it's a public zoo--but I like to think there are some nice images of animals included. Please let me know which ones you like, dislike, et cetera? Always love the company and comments!

Thanks!

Happy Fourth!

Diz has a question for you and a few of his other favorite camera gurus:

I'm going through images from the Highlands Renaissance Festival up in Kentucky, and while I've got some (in my opinion) decent captures, I am noticing a sort of color-flare phenomenon. I'm not at all sure what causes that, or even what it's called.

I used my telephoto lens a lot (basic Canon 70-300mm, no image stabilization) and tripods at these things always seem more trouble than they're worth, but my shutter speeds were quick enough I'd have thought shake wouldn't be a problem. Have I deluded myself?

Could the temperature have anything to do with it? 100 degrees and 60% humidity all day (miserable? hell yes). The camera was definitely hot to the touch most of the time.

I fiddled with the three different metering modes (average, center-weighted, partial). Might this have caused it?

Or is there some sort of chromatic distortion inherent with this lens?

I'll have the images up later today, but in the meantime I'd love to know what you more experienced sorts can tell me.

Thanks!

~Diz

Expodisc... Yep, that's it. I was wondering if it was a bit gimmicky--thanks for saving me some beer money!

~Diz

Thanks for the suggestions!

I've seen a white balance doohicky that goes (temporarily) over the lens--have you ever tried this? But it's probably easy to just have her hold a gray card or a sheet of white paper with printed text, huh?

Either way, it's time for me to fix my white balance problems!

~Diz

Hey! Thanks for the comments and critiques. Those are the reason I signed up for this. I will do my best to take a stroll through your work and give you my best as well.
Cheers!

Fantastic pictures. Chelsea's album is fabulous.

Beautiful, beautiful images as always. Thanks for sharing. Bob

Happy Easter, Paul.
