They abound when covering a wedding. Reviewing some images I've fond some that appeal. An eye for the small details can reveal a bride's intention, attitudes and plans. Certainly her good taste.

When the Light is Right
Currently assembling a book for a bride who has placed her order, and am considering some images.
When listening to masters like Martin Graeme-Dunn or Fuzzy Duenkel, you learn how their hyper-awareness of light is fundamental to making a good image. Thus it is really important to remain aware of the possibilities offered by light-- no matter what else you may have planned.

As Seen in Denny's Catalog
Imagine my surprise when I thumbed through the last Denny's catalog. The photographic background supplier, not the purveyor of the Grand Slam. Page 57!
Taken at After Dark Miami, April 2010. Nikon D300, Nikkor 60mm f/2.8.

Mixing hot lights and strobe
Been a while sine we've posted. Busy February.
Since I work in a facility with TV studio, hot lights abound. Yesterday I had a chance to do a head shot for a colleague, Kathy Rice. I decided to mix hot lights and strobe. Anyone want to guess the setup?

The coolest thing in a while...
Is it possible to capture a single day in one photograph? Here's the remarkable story of one Greek photographer who tried. Amazing! (Thanks to Craig McClure for posting this.)

Sarah and Sam
New Years day-- which could be written 1-1-11 -- is a date that neither Sarah nor Sam will ever forget, as it was their wedding day. Images taken at Thalia Presbyterian and at the reception on the Spirit of Norfolk.
This was a terrific way to bring in the new year! A lovely occasion.
It is always a pleasure to spend a day with a couple on the first -- and most important-- day of their lives together. And it is a privilege to document their day, and to create images that will bear the test of time.

This was fun!
Had the opportunity to do cover ODU basketball yesterday. I hadn't done that in years. If you cover sports, you realize that it takes a while to find your rhythm.
I understand the game well enough, and found that, much like football, it takes about a quarter to a quarter-and-a-half to get in the swing of things. To follow the court action, anticipate (or guess) where the action is going to go, and be ready for the shot.
Tremendous fun, and a very good game, as ODU defeated George Mason in a close one.
