Things are a little slow...

So it seems like a perfect time to go out and do our family pic for Christmas cards. Heading out to the Indiana side of the Ohio River this weekend with Louisville KY as the backdrop. Not 100% sure how I am going to shoot the pics just yet so I was out checking some of my favorite photog blogs to get some inspiration.
One of my favorite photographers is Zack Arias. A real down to earth guy with a great sense of humor.
I try to follow his minimalist approach to lighting and composition.
If you have the time you should go check out his site and read his blog.

I dislike shooting with a tilt. 7. I like my images to be contrasty. 8. I like longer focal lengths, I use my 85mm 1.8 a lot for portraits and here recently I have been using my 70-210mm f4 a lot. 9. I love shooting portraits wide open, especiall...

Its crazy...

I know this is supposed to be my photography blog, but I have been to pre occupied with the loss of my bestest pal to do much shooting. Today I was out in the yard with Bella, our other chihuahua, and the neighbors came out and asked about Charlie.  They were upset that he didn't make it. They told me how he made their day when he was outside and would bark at them.
