Personal Growth

There are times that I want/need to change things up a bit but don't have a particular subject/idea. Earlier this year I was in our back yard and noticed our neighbors had an interesting plant at the end of its season. I pulled the camera out and took a few shots that I really liked. I've since found a plethora of surprising 'tidbits' in our yard I hadn't seen because I hadn't been looking. I will post those 'tidbits' later!



We need to look past what we are used to photographing, such as during a wedding, so we don't get stuck in our shooting patterns. This will help us grow as photographers and definitely give our customers a higher degree of satisfaction.

In our off time we need to continue challenging ourselves to keep our creative juices flowing and shoot 'out of our box'. My next personal challenge is to photograph some of our local emergency personnel such as police officers and firemen. I have a few ideas up my sleeve but nothing set in stone as of yet. I am not intending to photograph them in a 'studio session' way but more artistically than the normal 'head and shoulders' shot. Oh, and possibly sell a few 8x10's!

Camera used: Canon 10D with 24-105, f4 @ 1/2,000, ISO 100

Castle


"Magical Vacation"

This is another photography image of the Disney Castle in Orlando, Florida. It seems that you can't take a bad photograph of it. This was photographed the same night as the previous post. All in all I had taken over 100 images of the castle. I did manage to pare it down considerably by removing duplicates and camera movement. I did not have a tripod so I had to hand hold the shots. (I had brought enough gear as it was and my family was very gracious at that!)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone!


Our family had an enjoyable time last night with our friends to bring in the new year. As the midnight hour chimed, several of our neighbors shot off fireworks to celebrate. I was reminded of our family vacation at Disney World in Florida and the wonderful fireworks each night. This photograph is actually a collage I made for a page in our vacation book that I had printed.

With the digital camera era here, it seems that we often forget or fail to print our photographs. This may be due to being overwhelmed with the amount of photographs that are taken since we are no longer limited by the 12, 24 or 36 shot roll. For this vacation we decided to try Apple's book creation using iPhoto. It was a wonderful experience and the quality was exceptional.

Camera used: Canon 10D with a 24-105, f4 @ 1/10, ISO 1600
