Peterson Family

We had a lot of fun trying to tackle the weather for these pictures.  It was such a treat to work with the Peterson’s and their little girl has such a cute personality. DSC_0284DSC_0160

Motion Light Photography

We were cruising down the road a couple weekends ago and I decided I’d mess around with my camera to see what I could create. 

Using the moon as my light source I attempted at shapes:

and letters:

Using the lights on buildings as my light source and random movement plus the movement of our car:

Window Lighting

 

I used our sliding glass door as the backdrop for these pictures and metered for the babies faces.  In other words I set my camera to expose for their faces instead of the window.  That basically caused the window to “blow out” of the picture.  I love the way it helps to bring out their cute little faces!!!018-1MCP047-1MCP079-1MCP039-1-3MCP052-1MCP

Sam and Mike’s Wedding

Sorry it’s taken me so long to post the pictures.  This wasn’t my best photo shoot as I was trying to work with the flash and it wasn’t working as well as I wanted so I’ve had to do a lot of out of camera work.  This is certainly an area I’m trying to get better on.  Anyways on to the pictures….

Indoor Photography

I’ve been trying to work on my indoor photography.  I want to get more proficient with taking indoor photos when natural light or the ambient light is not sufficient.  That means figuring out how to use my camera’s flash without the flash washing the photo out.  I created a little paper device to reflect the flash up away from my subject.                                

                                 Flash directly at subject                Flash directed away from subject

Notice how you can see the flash lighting on the first picture and not so obvious on the second.

Here are a few others I took and played around with using some of my Photoshop Actions:
