Photo of the Week: Pete Brandt by Kyle Emery-Peck

This week’s photo is shot by San Francisco’s Kyle Emery-Peck.

“I had a bmx photo that I wanted to shoot with Pete where I framed him at the bottom of my composition. I get in the habit of composing riders in the top of my composition so I wanted to change it up. My friend Terry reminded me of this location in Chinatown. It was later in the day, so the sun was getting lower in the sky. It just so happened that I was shooting toward the East, so it made for great ambient light. I set up two Sunpak 555’s at 1/2 power one on the left and one on the right. I shot with Fuji Provia 100F on my Hasselblad 500c with an 80mm 2.8 I think the exposure came out to 1/500 @ f/5.6. From there I just gave Pete a target to aim, and let the Pete Brandt machine go to work. I was happy after 3 or 4 attempts. Pete is by far the most dialed flatlander to shoot. He lands the most technical tricks so consitsently that I feel good about shooting film.”

Midnight In A Forest

Midnight in a forest of darkened debris, buildings like redwoods, trash strewn in heaps.

Downtown In The Dark

 

A love for the unknown

 

The dive into a sea of uncertainty

 

1. ride bikes  2. shoot photos  3. stay alive

 

Past Is Prologue

 

Roads transformed to rivers, paths turned into streams

 

Hope you got that battery upgrade

 

Violent crimes, anyone?

 

More trees than tourists

 

Traveling with various tripods

 

Joshua Kristal

 

An ebb and flow of unprecedented proportions

 

Water, street

 

The night never ends…

 

…if we never go inside

 

“You’ll get back to where you came from”

 

Empirical fires burn in the distance, guiding masses toward the light

In Focus: Timelapses with Ricki Bedenbaugh

Skateboard filmer Ricki Bedenbaugh goes through the steps necessary to create timelapses with both an SLR camera and a video camera.

This is crazy.

he trippy mane.

this is also the last time I will ever tolerate watching any sort of time-lapse video (besides Koyaanisqatsi, of course.)

A Few Recent Pics…

Chris Saunders with a little smith at the new Somerville skate plaza (in progress)

My buddy Bryan Tarbell, who posts over at LeastMost dropped off his Bronica SQ-A along with a few rolls of expired Kodak Portra 400 B&W film for me to shoot.  I just got the first roll back, and I got a few decent ones out of it, but now that I’ve got the feel of medium format cameras down I’m psyched to shoot more!  Here are three pics that I liked…definitely cool to get back little square black and white photos…it’s like the analog version of instagram.

Check some more after the jump..
