I’m finished school for this year! Well, actually, school is out forever! When this holiday is over (at the end of August), I’m starting my internship that takes five months. I’ll be busy writing my thesis after the internship, so I will barely be on the inside of the school building any more. Only one more year. Hooray!

The last six months were great. Busy, but great. To be honest, I didn’t think I would learn a lot, since I knew I would probably have more experience with stuff (especially photography) than my classmates. But that wasn’t really an issue. I focussed on myself and achieving my own goals. It paid off and learned a lot in the end.

The photo above is one of the photos I took of classmate Marjolein. She persuaded our photography teacher to let us use his studio at the end of the minor to make some photographs. Being a nice guy as he is, he cooperated immediately :)

More after the jump!

My favourite is this one below. Too bad it’s super out of focus (her front foot is sharp, the rest isn’t). I’m not quite used yet to my new 85mm f1.8 lens. I shot this on f5.6, which has a too shallow depth of field for this kind of stuff. It was also pretty difficult to focus correctly, since she moved her entire body. Ah well, it’s all a learning experience right?

Here are two more. I hope you like them. And if you don’t, well, tough luck. ‘Cause I do! :p

Thanks for being such a great victim, Mayo! ;)

We’ve had a couple of regular classes in the photo studio of my teacher, (located right around the corner of school) but this time was different. We got to play with his studio equipment for a couple of hours, which was my first time.

I do own (and use) some Strobist stuff, but I was really looking forward to using a good softbox. It’s a lot easier to place the light(s) the way you want to because of the modeling light. Plus the recycle time of those things is amazing.

Anyway, my classmate Marjolein arranged her friend (and model) Lori to be our victim. Thanks again to the both of you!

I’m pretty satisfied with the results. It’s not really my kind of photography, although I’m not sure what is, but it was fun to do. My favourite photo is the one on the top, which is unfortunately a bit blurry.

There are two more photos after the jump!
