XMP, DNG, Presets, and Catalogs. AHHH. The crew of Malone & Co had their 2nd Lightroom Workshop last Sunday.
Pictured are Mike Malone, Chris Rich, Kerri Garrison, Julie Morris, Kameron Bayne, Geoff Johnson, Megan Nosbish, Ann Luchsinger, Sarah Pfeiffer, and Andrew Marinkovich. Also, not in the photo but attended is Cara Bresette-Yates, and the Torchwerkers.
It was great having everyone out. Don't forget to save your work!
Last Thursday the studio was taken over by 19 dogs. Great job from the crew from Sergeant's, Tamar Geller and her team. The pup on the right is former Malone & Co crew member Stephanie's new Labradoodle.
You just might see some of the images in a pet store near you.
Last weekend I opened up the studio for Kids Day. We had a blast shooting while raising some money for Operation Smile. The images below were created using our homemade ring light. What fun!
We'll be having our next session in the spring of 2009. If you're interested sign up here.
Yes, we agree...we work much better behind the camera than in front of one! But we wanted to share the fun anyway. See more images from the Crew shoot.
No cables, no wires, no hassle! The new Eye-Fi Card is making things a little easier at Malone & Co. The new wireless SD memory card automatically uploads pictures from your digital camera to your computer and to over 15 different photo sharing websites. Take a look as Andrew tests out the new card.
My wife Anne turned 30 this week and last Saturday night we threw the big party at Malone & Company. Click on the photo below to see the slideshow!

Finding your way around the maze of digital photography terms can be rough at times but the folks at UPDIG have come to the rescue. UPDIG is, according to their website, "a working group of digital imaging professionals and allied trade groups and manufacturers, dedicated to promoting worldwide standards in the commercial application of digital imaging."
The site is a rich resource for understanding workflow and best practices for digital imaging. Check out the site.
Inspired by a photograph taken by Stephanie, the crew at Malone & Co. spent last Saturday at Hefflinger dog park shooting dogs for the 2007 version of our calendar. We'll be making prints of the dogs available for sale with all profits going to the Dog Park Advocates to help grow the park. Look for more information in early December.
It was hot outside and the crew was heat'n it up inside too.
Check out the behind the scenes of:
•building sets
•finding people fishing in a boat
•finding a lake for the boat people to fish in (these people and their boat will later be dropped into a sink- inside a kitchen-thanks to the magic of Kate Heller)
•sweaty people taking pictures
the list goes on...
GO TEAM!
Our new portfolios are ready to hit the road and so are we. Email or call the studio and we'll get them over to you.
It's not often that 4 of us get to be on the job at the same time, but when we do- it's always a fun time. (Stephanie is not mad in this photo)
A couple Malone & Co. calendars were sent out to other continents, and we have some proof they arrived. Enhanced image is the actual kookaburra from Australia.
Where's your Malone & Co. calendar- got it in a cool place? Send us a shot of it.
Fresh off a shoot in North Carolina- thought our blog fans would enjoy seeing the crew at work. Mike, Geoff, Stephanie and I working hard and getting it done.
Kate and Stephanie organized a murder mystery that took place at the studio. Our first experience with a murder mystery made for some interesting costumes and tested our acting ability.
Someone in this group was at fault. Any guesses?
