Another Wedding
I photographed another wedding on Friday so I decided to post a set of images from the event here today.
Father-Son Moment
I decided that since I had the image files handy I would post another candid shot from that wedding that captured the happiness of the day.
Tears of Joy
Ive been shooting a few weddings lately and thought I would post something from the most recent one here today for a change of pace. When it comes to weddings I have to admit that I’m not really a fan of the posed shots and I truly prefer to try and capture genuine moments of expression.
I Love My Job!
Doing this for a living sure beats sitting behind a desk. It’s not always this dirty though, in fact right after this shoot I rinsed myself and the cameras off, (they are waterproof) changed into a suit and shot a wedding. Never a dull moment.
Bones and Bubbly
As usually happens when I have time on an assignment I will capture quirky little things like this strictly for my own amusement.
Take a Flying Leap
Although I have been photographing a lot of them lately, luxury homes aren’t the only assignments I’ve been doing. This is from an editorial shoot I did for an equestrian magazine last week.
Timing
I always enjoy it when I have an opportunity to practice tripping the shutter at the decisive moment.
Last Shots From the Track
I just wanted to post a few more of my favorite shots from the motocross track before moving on to posting other things.
Sky Pilot
After a morning of rain that turned the track into a virtual mudhole the skies cleared and made a terrific backdrop for the aerial maneuvers of the colorfully clad riders.
Get Close, Get Dirty, Get the Shot
I had the opportunity to shoot at the local motocross track yesterday right after it rained. The mud was flying everywhere and getting in close for shots like this meant getting plastered with it. I had to wash off the cameras and lenses a couple of times during the shoot. Everyone else was using delicate brushes and air blowers to keep their equipment serviceable and they all got a kick out of watching me pour a bottle of drinking water over my cameras and lenses to clean them off.
Making a Splash
I went out to this ski show over the weekend and photographed some of it just for fun. Since it was just for fun I decided to make it an exercise for myself. I put an old 200mm lens on the camera and practiced tracking focus manually with it. I enjoyed the challenge of trying keep the fast-moving skiers sharp the old-school way with just my eyes and hands instead of with microcomputers and motors.
Young Love
A nice little moment of quiet emotion that I captured while photographing the formal portraits of this young couple at their wedding recently.
I Shot the Shooter
While out on a photowalk with the Tampa Bay Camera Club I decided to turn my camera on one of the other members.
Between Battles
A candid still life that I came across while wandering about the soldier’s encampment during a historic reenactment at Dade Battlefield.
At the Watering Hole
I was photographing an equestrian event this past weekend and I really liked this composition that came together out on the ranch.
At the Finish Line
I was on the shoreline at sunset the other evening as the sailboats participating in a regatta were crossing the finish line. The setting sun illuminated the scene with a wonderful warm glow as I photographed the event.
One of a Kind
This is the one and only airworthy B-29 Superfortress in the world. When I saw it rolling off the flight line and heading to the end of the runway I scrambled across the airfield as fast as I could and made a guess about what spot on the runway to head for. My estimate of runway position wasn’t too bad as it turns out. I wanted to shoot the plane with clear sky behind it, not the trees that lined the other side of the runway. I got to this spot out of breath just seconds before the aircraft did and luckily it was just barely higher than the treeline as it roared past me.
On the Hunt Again
It’s that time of year again when I go out with this equestrian group and for the better part of the week I run around in the woods and swamps by day looking for shots like this and by night I shoot the parties and a formal ball that they put on. It’s a fun job that I look forward to every year.
A Soldier’s Work is Never Done
A visual journey back in time to what life in a military camp would have been like circa 1835.
