Freak needs a home

Posted by Dave Mercer Digital Storm Photography On 8:02 PM 0 comments
I know what you're thinking but no it's not me! It is however a much more loyal, good looking kinda guy even if does act freaky for a cat. Looking for a good home for this cat pictured below. Litter trained, approx 8 mos old and has a fetish for suckers, the literal kind or anything else to bat around the room for that matter. Contact me if interested ASAP.

Casting Call

Posted by Dave Mercer Digital Storm Photography On 4:07 PM 0 comments
Warmer weather has arrived and Digital Storm Photography is looking for some HOT rides! Not as in stolen but those that make you want to drive it like it was! We're looking for classic hot rods, custom bikes (particularly Harley's), and 4x4's with lift and looks to go with it. We know you love your ride and with spring approaching it's time to get it cleaned up and let us capture this awesome piece of machinery in it's best light. We'll even give you more encouragement to do so by waiving our creation fee (with a signed property/model release of course) and giving you one free print! That's a savings of over $100 not to mention the chance to have your ride published in a magazine, calendar, or other promotional type stuff!!! We'll even try to have a model or two on hand if you're a little camera shy! This is a limited time offer so contact us today to set up an appointment!

This is a great opportunity to showcase our metallic prints and we'll upgrade any purchased print to metallic finish FREE! If you've not seen some of our metallic prints first hand you have got to check them out as I assure you they will make heads turn. We're also offering the latest cutting edge technology in print production.........prints made on aluminum! You can get custom made license plates, dog tags, and even entire wall murals with your photos printed on them.

Another new product we're looking to introduce is "skins" for everything from xbox 360 to vehicles. These high quality vinyl stick ons we'll be designed in house with printing done by pro labs. These are similar to our "wallhog" products in which we can take any photo and make it life size to apply to any smooth painted surface. Our vehicle skins are weather resistent and can be custom designed for not only your vehicle but for your business as well. Save thousands of dollars over custom paint jobs and it's removeable so it doesn't effect the resale value of your car! Some ideas besides business applications.............. I'm sure we've all seen the bumper stickers "my son/daughter is a marine" why not a custom made graphic that includes a picture of them in uniform, any size you want?!!! Show your pride for high school sports, turn your motorcyle gas tank into a rolling show and tell, turn your entire vehicle into a cheetah skinned animal. The possibilities are endless! Our first customers we'll recieve some deep discounts never to be seen again so contact us if interested!

My blog has in a dormant state but I assure you it still has a pulse. I wanted to share some recent shots of one of our last minute seniors and also a few favorites from a fun shoot with the "grandsons" hamming it up.
Put them on a Harley and next thing you know they're checking out the "chicks".

A shoot with Kate

Posted by Dave Mercer Digital Storm Photography On 8:22 PM 0 comments
I recently had the pleasure of working with Kate whom hails from the windy city of Chicago but now works and lives in Columbus Ohio. The forecast was 70% chance of rain/snow so while I wanted some outdoor shots I did not plan to get them. Once she arrived and the weather held steady with only some clouds and even sunshine visible we did venture out close to the studio to get a few shots. If you have the chance to shoot with Kate you'll find that she's very easy to work with and friendly. Here are a few of my favorites from our session.



Big Thaw and a Big Fall

Posted by Dave Mercer Digital Storm Photography On 1:55 PM 0 comments
With the temperature reaching into mid 50's this past weekend nature called. Took a trip to Hocking Hills area to hopefully see Cedar Falls flowing. Turned out that while water was flowing it was flowing behind what was still a massive amount of ice! On top of that I managed a not so graceful fall, face first into a set of limestone stairs coming out of Cedar Falls. I managed to snap off a Pocket Wizard from my shoe mount, break a lens hood and give myself some scrapes and bruises. After getting back home I did manage to fix the pocket wizard and even the lens hood to some extent but my body seems to be a whole other matter! I did manage a couple of decent photos though and that is why we're here right?! A couple of my favorite are here and you can check out the rest in our "daily shots" gallery.



We will hopefully be doing some new stuff in regard to on location, strobist lighting techniques here soon. Casting call is out for some models to participate so stay tuned!

MAC vs PC

Certainly one of the most debated subjects, like Nikon or Canon. Perhaps they should do a video like this one.
