Before the dance.....

A recent winner of one of my contests had me shoot pics of her son and his date to a high school dance. When I got to the area we had planned to shoot at we were greeted with a mob of teens and their parents shooting pictures with their point and shoots. I had planned on using a single strobe off camera with a beauty dish but it was so crowded I had to go to plan B. I really hadnt thought of a plan B so I just stuck a 550ex on my 5D and grabbed a couple lenses and off we went. My favorite pic from the session was a shot I snapped in between poses using my 200mm 2.8.Probably the best shot of the day...Hope you enjoy the set!

I have been watching some videos.....

A lot of videos actually, lol. And the one thing they all hit on is defining who you are as a photographer. To look at your images and see if you can tell what makes your images special.

I like to keep my images simple. I don't like cluttered backgrounds. 2. I dislike blown out skies so I use flash a lot out doors. 3. I dislike using textures and selective coloring. I want my images to stand out on their own with out a lot of effects. 4. I love black and whites & vignettes. 5. I shoot a lot in portrait orientation, probably 90% of the time. 6. 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.
