A few weeks ago I posted pictures from a #streetmeetla photo shoot down in San Pedro. Well, they had another one, this time at San Gabriel Valley Airport in El Monte. The theme was VW's and airplanes(being that it was at an airport, kinda makes sense). I drove alone since I didn't hear anything from my colleague, but just after I arrived, he showed up with a model I'd shot a couple of times before. Quite a few photographer brought their own lighting equipment, but being that it was outdoors(and I don't have any), I just had my cameras. Basically the way this shoot worked it that the models(there were both male and female models) would stand by a plane or a VW and do their thing and the photographers would snap away. I think I got some really good pictures at this shoot. After the shoot I started home and figured I'd stop by Mission San Gabriel since it was close by and the IR pictures I shoot 3 years ago sucked. I headed home from the mission fed and walked my girls and then it was off to The Huntington for their evening strolls for members.
On a personal note:
This will be my second to last regular post here at 'On The Road', I had hoped to supplement my income by selling my pictures but I've only had 3 sales. I'll close up BillinGlendale.com next April(I think I'm paid up though then) and get regular employment. I'd like to thank all of you for your kind comments and encouragement. My next and last submission will be a good one, stay tuned.

Yellow(very yellow) Airplane.
I had photographed this model earlier in the shoot sitting in a VW bus. She moved out to where the airplanes were and I took a few more pictures. This picture differs from others in it's processing. I used a color Lookup Table. Color Lookup Tables(LUT) map the colors in a photo to other colors to give a specific feel to the photo, in this case I used a LUT the mimics Kodachrome film. As Paul Simon noted, it makes all the world a sunny day, and is pretty saturated. It made her skin a bit too saturated so I removed it for the areas where her skin was showing and left it on the rest of the photo.
