About two weeks ago, I got the chance do something out of the norm of my shooting style. I am mostly the natural light and strobe light photographer. This time I get to shoot using constant light with SpiderLite TD5 fitted with octa softbox. I tried different placements, but the most pleasing one was when I put them in clamshell configuration. I took the first shot and the results were amazing. The only thing that I kept reminding me is to hold still while taking shot (I was shooting with Nikon 70-200 F2.8 on my Nikon D300s body) since a little motion in the shot was causing blur in the picture. I think I like what I got from these lights. Here are few headshots from the day.
This is the only shot with Nikon Sb800 in Apollo 28” softbox.

Alamgir Haq is his full name although we all known and love him as just Alamgir. One of the greatest voices on Pakistan television. The voice that I grew up listening. I got the opportunity to shot OPENDC annual conference held at Westfield Marriott Washington Dulles on November 19, 2011. At the end of the conference I get to meet and attend the benefit concert of Alamgir, I have never ever felt so nostalgic when he just sang all the numbers that I have my most cherished memories of past associated with. It was beautiful.
It is quite unfortunate that Alamgir has both kidneys failed and he needs dialysis to survive, but it is so much encouraging to see that how strong he still is and performed for about 2 hours with such passion and drive like nothing is wrong with him. He loves it, During his performance the doctors and his music crew continuously were reminding him of his health condition and asking him to take it easy, but his reply was, this stage is my home, I feel at home when I am on stage and singing.
I encourage to all my friends who also loves his music to go to his page and donate for he needs it now. He is right now waiting for a kidney transplant. You can go to his fan club to donate or buy his music.

Went to Charleston, WV to attend the hacke3rcon. Had good time, learned quite a new cutting edge stuff in the world of computer security and hacking. Woke up this morning in WV to see this wonderful and beautiful site from my hotel room. Fog and smoke was rolling in, the sun coming up doing its magic with the warm and soft light, lighting up the valley. What more could I ask for. Snapped quite a few shots, here are a few of them.

A beautiful day in September to shoot a wedding. Not only that but both Brett and Melanie are incredible people. Shooting their wedding was a great and fun experience. The wedding held at the beautiful Mount Vernon Inn located at George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate, Museum and Gardens. I want to thank my friend Christopher Vigliotti for this opportunity and Douglas Pettway with whom I second shot this wedding. As a little experiment I am doing it black and white this time. Feedback is appreciated.

Got a great location to shoot fireworks tonight. We are at the roof of West Patrick garage parking lot. The weather was perfect until the firework started, then it began to rain right when it was about the time to start the firework. Thinking that my Nikon D300s would hold up well during such minor drizzle, I kept shooting until the camera died on me right smack in the middle of the firework. I am hoping that it would start to work again after it get dried out, so hope for the best. Here are a few shots from today. I hope you enjoy them.
