TriCoast Workshop in the Frog Capital of the World

We spent this past weekend with some awesome photographers in Rayne, LA. Frog Capital of the World. I'm not sure how that title came about since I only saw one frog there the whole time.


No...this isn't the frog...

The workshop was hosted by Colin Burnum Photography. Colin's studio was large enough to have a shooting room, a studio and a reception area. With lots of...er...adult beverages...


This is the studio area. Small section of the studio area. Colin is putting up our brand new backdrop we just received from Denny's. Link to backdrop.


As nice as the studio was, fully equipped with a very, very capable air-conditioning unit, we took the class outside. Who says you don't have to suffer for your art?


As usual, before the class goes out to shoot, Cody does a demo shoot. After that, we break out for the hands on session.


Couldn't ask for a better day to shoot. Full sun and blue skies. Add a bit of some hurricane clouds and everything is perfect. Except for the mosquitoes...


So, this is what we see straight out of the camera. Sun peaking out just behind the clouds :)


And this is after Lightroom. Fun stuff :)


We took a short walk into town where the walls are covered in graffitti. I mean...murals. Again, playing with the spot light/snoot effect.


Jay getting down and dirty in the streets of Rayne. No frogs were harmed.


If you're not sure about coming out to one of our workshops, just ask these two. They fully approve.


And, you might even get to ride an airplane.



I'll post more images later on. Again, super fun group at this workshop. HUGE THANKS to Colin Burnum for everything, from breakfast, lunch, dinner and the after hours reception.
