For this shot, I used a silver reflector at camera-right to reflect some of the window light for a little bit of fill on the left side of Daniel’s face. It’s a subtle effect but does help in this shot.

Home Studio – Take One
Posted in indoor available light, portraiture on July 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Well, I finally got around to purchasing a portable, two-sided background for indoor, on-location portrait shoots. Per standard operating procedure, I asked Daniel if he would pose for me so I could get accustomed to using my new background. He agreed so I set it up black side forward (the other side is white), asked [...]

In an effort to keep my blog current, I thought I would post another fireworks image from this years July 4th celebration. This is one of the few that I thought turned out pretty cool.

Whenever I acquire new photography equipment, I usually venture out into my own yard to see if there’s a test subject available. I found this lizard in the tree in my front yard and decided to make a few test shots with my new Canon EF 70-200 F2.8L IS lens. I think the lens is [...]

This is another shot from our trip to Gainesville and Muenster. I was about make a turn back to the highway to make my way out of Gainesville when Daniel says, “Hey, look at that old building.” Well, he shouldn’t have said that because old buildings are one of the things I love to photograph, [...]

Wildlife came to me for once. This Mockingbird is guarding a nest that resides in a holly bush in a neighbor’s yard on the other side of my backyard fence. Every time I go out back, this defender squawks and dives at me, trying to scare me away. I was able to get this shot [...]

There may be numerous things wrong in America—God knows we, as a nation, need to get our act together—but I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.
Happy Birthday, America!
