I love 1181 & 1180. Great use of DOF. 1211 seems out of focus to me (perhaps by design)...good job

I love the second one, but especially like the last one...better hold on tight!!! :D

Nice HDR KitKat. I love some of the other submissions as well. I have been playing with HDR for a while, but nothing more than in passing. Here is one that I took of a couple of small waterfalls in a state park in Oklahoma (USA).

Got a job as a software developer and server admin, so photog work has taken side saddle (unfortunately), but at least the money is good. :)

I agree with Timothy, she has a beautiful smile...some things I would have done: reduce DOF and focus on her face, zooming in a bit more to use the bushes as a blurred natural frame to allow the green of the bushes to contrast the red of the colors…

I agree with Michael. The B&W is better. Cropping on the left might add more drama to the moment. :) cheers

I love this picture, Mel. It reminds me of a femaie mad hatter :D

Looks more like "on the lamb", but I like the perspective :D I have to agree about the thumbs...good eye nonetheless though

New Camera...

Well, there comes a time in every photographer's life when you say to yourself..."Self...we need better equipment!".

I am no exception to this, and as such have just purchased a Nikon D300 with the MD-10 grip, SB600 flash, 18 - 200mm and 50mm 1.4 lenses. I have another shoot tomorrow night, and I just got back to Oklahoma last night from a weekend event shoot for the television show "Two Wheel Oklahoma".

It was a great rally, but I dropped my motorcycle at one point and was bummed about it. I… Continue

Update: Garage Studio Setup

Well, it is up and running (though I found my DIY softbox is too weak even with a 300 watt buld and a single layer of rip stop nylon for diffusion). The reflector / bogen lights that I have work great. I mounted a 12' rod with a king size, pure white, sheet as the backdrop.

I have resigned myself to going and picking up a built set of softboxes. I would also like to pickup some umbrellas and new strobes. If anyone has suggestions on the brand of lights, speak now, or forever hold your peace. =D… Continue

Model - Broken Home Shoot

Hey all...

Met up with the model for the broken home shoot tonight. Though I thought she had the goth wear needed for the shoot, I was mistaken. I am going to need to provide the clothing and props as anticipated. I am meeting the model next Friday evening to begin the shopping extravaganza.

I am very excited, as I spoke with the model and realized that she is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I need to make sure that my makeup artist is up to par for the shoot, but other than that,… Continue

Broken home shoot

I have been wanting to do an expressionistic photo shoot for a really long time now.

I have had these visions (maybe not the best choice of words) about a weeping, allbeit goth, mother with her spiffed up child comforting her in a delapedated environment. I explained my desire and the whole getup to a friend tonight, and one of his best friends is willing to model for me, and have either her son or daughter model as well.

I am VERY excited about this, as I have admired her beauty for a long ti… Continue

Baby-steps: Garage

Hello again sports fans....

Well, there comes a time in a man's life when he just has to say:

whatthehellIdidntthinkthegaragewasthisdirty!

Yeah, so I spent the first day of my new year gutting, errrrm, I mean cleaning, my garage. My intention is to treat and paint the concrete, redo the walls, setup backdrops and vualah...my very own portrait studio. =D

I got rid of so much useless stuff it wasn't even funny. I took my tripods, lights, reflectors, and newly constructed softbox out for… Continue

I bet! I was a little disappointing in this years. There was not as many people as usual and they venues were limited. I enjoy walking around looking at all the jewelry and art but for some reason it felt really sad.... But do they do real big ones out there? We have another coming up in November I am looking forward too. My boyfriends family are Native Americans and I have very little in me but I do appreciate the culture and I feel at home and at peace when I am listening to the music and the drum. It's a spiritual event and I will keep going no matter what!!!
=) ANY ways thanks for the comment

I am not that brave to set up on the roof top! I give you credit though. The lightning here in Florida is very low and dangerous so I have to get it as it approaches. But I am determined! This was me filming a storm. (http://hk.youtube.com/watch?v=IqmADEOknf0&feature=channel_page) It amazes me. The outdoors amazes me! I will be looking for your pictures.

A policeman had a speed trap set there and looked at me as if I was crazy for taking a picture of it. Actually took about six. Just fun.
