Another shot of Sadi as we were leaving Maci's yesterday. This is why I always carry my camera with me. Never know when I will get that chance to take a quick picture. Snapshots such as this is why I usually carry the Leica...
pyper is boo-tiful...
Had the studio stuff set up, so I couldn't pass on the opportunity to take this shot. Pyper was all dressed up in her halloween attire and the shirt says it all...
emotional pictures...
So sometimes I get these ideas in my head that I never seem to be able to replicate in the camera. This is one of those times when I acted on it quickly and I think I succeeded. I wanted to produce a square head shot that showed some emotion. I love it when I have to dig deep to get the picture that I want. I used my Olympus EP2 camera, my Nikon 50mm f/1.8 manual focus lens, two of my Alien Bee strobe lights and a small white background. Studio shots such as this allow you to focus on the person and their facial features. To me, these shots really show emotion. In the top shot, Maci definitely implies that there is some joy in her life (Pyper is in the other room letting us know she is there). In the bottom shot, Tyler is determined as a person can be and to me the shadows create by the light (or lack of light) help portray this. Seeing these pictures just makes me want to create more. I hope to continue this series with the rest of the family...
pyper the photographer...
Had a quick photo opportunity with Pyper tonight. Set her up with an old camera of mine and let her try to snap a few photos while I took some of her with my Leica using a shoe-mounted flash. Wanted it to be an under-exposed background with her being a little over-exposed to add the effect of an older photo with a bare flash bulb. The setup, photo and editing took less than 10 minutes. Love it when taking pictures is this fun...
me and my girls...
I don't get to post many pictures with me and my two daughters, because most of the time I am behind the camera. This is also one of the few photos on my blog that was not taken by me. It was taken by tylertyndell.com at Tamolly's the other night. He took the picture with ambient/dim lighting using his new Canon 7D. I love this photo...
the end of a family portrait...
Took photos of Tyler, Maci, Pyper (and even Wilco) tonight. Used the sunset as my primary source of light. Set up a strobe light as an auxiliary light to fill in the shadows. The photos went great! With kids and dogs, they will let you know when you have reached the end of shooting the family portrait. Pyper pulled the bow out of her hair and right after I pressed the shutter Wilco jumped out of the chair and started running around the yard. Tyler and Maci posed for me on this one. I love this photo! Probably one of my favorites from tonight...
