Event Photos

I have done some portraits for Gideon in the last year to use on his website and as he is a speaker at different events he also wanted some event photos to have on there as well. So this morning I went to a speaking engagement he was at to do some photography for him and these are a couple of the shots from that.

Window Light

I play around with speed lights off camera a lot but when a window has a good amount of indirect light coming threw it it can also make a nice source of light. I just had her stand in a spot a good amount of light was coming threw and took some photos, what few I could get her to pose for as they get sick of posing for me.


What do you mean we are not done yet!

Bananas

No I am not going bananas (most the time), I just took some photos of some bananas. I always feel like I need to be taking more pictures for learning and practice but I don't always push myself to do it. So today as I was thinking I should make some banana bread I thought maybe I would spend a little time photographing the bananas to see what different images I could come up with. Now to be more frequent about pushing myself to take more pictures.

Abstract

Abstract, thinking outside the box or maybe just stayed up to late watching the lunar eclipse the other night and this is what you start doing after. Set the camera for a longer shutter speed and played around seeing what kind of patterns I could get from the Christmas lights on the tree.

Lunar Eclipse

We ended up watching the lunar eclipse last night, well more like we would go outside every so many minutes to see how it looked as it was freezing out last night. Each time out I would take a couple shots so I could put something together in the end. If I knew about it sooner and was thinking I would have borrowed a larger lens to get the photos. I used a Sigma 300mm to get these shots. It was an interesting event to watch and now we are having a lazy day as we stayed up so late.

Oh Christmas Tree

These are just a few of the ornaments we have hanging on our tree.

This first one is a nice hand painted one depicting the scene of what it is all about, the birth of Christ our Savior.



Next up everyone should have a Federation ship patrolling the tree! This one would be from Star Trek Deep Space Nine.



With the Mickey fans in our house we also have plenty of Micky ornaments on the tree. I like this one as it gives me another chance to do some more aviation photography!



Of course no tree is complete without some Starbucks on it, or at least in your coffee cup!

California Adventure

Took these photos of the big Ferris Wheel one night while we were at the Disney's California Adventure park. Rachel seemed to really like this ride, most the carts slide along a bar and really get to swinging in a couple spots and she would just be laughing the whole time.
