Broadening my Horizons 08/24/2011
I'm so razzed about the new wide angle lens I bought. I want to walk around with the viewfinder to my eye and look at everyone and everything. I decided to see if anyone in cyber world had any suggestions on how to make the most of the lens and I found an incredible article by Ken Rockwell (not that I should be surprised). If you're a shutterbug, I think you'll enjoy his practical tips and insights. I did. http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/how-to-use-ultra-wide-lenses.htm Thank you, Mr. Rockwell.

It's time for fall sports! I personally am a Redskins fan - I know. I know. They haven't won (or been to) a Superbowl since 1996. Or was it 1992? Regardless, I was born a Redskin and will die a Redskin. I'm a fan, win or lose. Or lose. Or lose. I really enjoy shooting sports photography, both during games and team photos. I think more than the actual shooting, I enjoy settling into my highback office chair and creating the posters and pictures that make the kids cheer. There's nothing like seeing the smile on a proud parent's face or hearing a twelve-year-old call you "legit." I love watching each project unfold into its own masterpiece and creating stuff that makes the kids feel like superheroes. Check out a few of our custom posters from last season. I recently had the opportunity to do a photo shoot for an up-and-coming rap artist. Sorry, but being that I'm over forty, I didn't realize some rap stars are white. For some reason, there are certain attributes and outstanding qualities or talents I assign to certain groups of people. Hence, the title from the '90's movie, "White Men Can't Jump," explains it all. We did this particular photo shoot for Righteous Riot Records so we could develop the album art and posters for Mr. Liles' tour. He's an attractive man in his twenties with the world at his fingertips. He's a quiet but occasionally you can get through the serious facade to a playful and funny guy. These photos were shot on a rainy Sunday afternoon in Bricktown, located in downtown Oklahoma City. I did the majority of enhancements in Lightroom with some back end editing in Photoshop. | Who Are You?
I'm a mess of variety and an assortment of the unexpected. ArchivesCategoriesAll |
