Spawning Salmon

These are from last fall up at the Lake. We were out taking pictures of the fall colors and stopped by the creek the salmon spawn up as someone said the spawn was peeking. I need to take the kids up next year to check this out as I think they would like to see it.

Jumping Back to Fall Colors

Took a jump back today to play with a few more of my images from this last fall. Something I need to get better at is keeping only the images I know I want and getting more aggressive with the ones that need to be deleted. I also need to get better at processing all the photos I take just after they have been taken. I think the fall colors and the Reno Air Races are the two things I usually have a problem doing this with as I end up taking a lot of pictures of these two things, so it ends up being a lot to go through to get rid of the stuff that needs to go and edit the stuff I want to keep. Maybe next I will jump into some of the Air Race photos I still want to edit and put a couple more up here.....

Bryan

Bryan was already dressed up from a set of photos we did with him and Julie so after those we setup a black back drop in his garage, put up some hot lights, set him up in a chair with some props, had him get one of his cigars and then we shot a bunch of different angles and poses.

Scouting A Location

Bryan and I went out today looking for a location to take some photos. Cruising around some dirt roads out here looking for a spot we like and taking some test shots so we can hopefully go back on another day and get what we want. This is one of the shots I took of him while we were out.

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.
