Pool Days

We have had the most lovely weather lately. The type of weather that calls you outside with a cool drink. The type of weather that tickles your skin with sun rays, and cooling breezes. The type of weather that helps you not to worry. These are the days I live for.

To All Photography Lovers

If you are a researcher of the internet, you know you can find a great deal of cool things you can do with digital photography. Long exposure is one of my favorite things to do. But two of my favorite types of pictures lately are the Infrared and Bokeh. Infrared is a photo that uses a filter (homemade or bought) which allows all infrared light in, and blocks all or most of the visible light spectrum. By doing this you end up with a picture with deep reds and blacks. Green-leafed trees turn into white leaves, leaving the effect of what looks like snow to me.

Bokeh is referred in photography as the blur in your image when using a shallow depth of field. Blur in any image can create curiosity and interest, so why not turn that blur into something awesome? There are homemade techniques which you can use to make your own lens cover to create such blur with shapes including keyholes and hearts including different colors.

It's a Rock

Today's single engagement pictures with Maya went very smooth. I experimented with different props, lighting, and shadows. These are a couple of my favorites. More to come soon!

Tory Burch

While looking through some Pre-Fall 2009 RTW (Ready to Wear) clothing Tory Burch has caught my eye. She hasn't used much of the brown and blacks that we are use to seeing during this time of year, but has expanded her creativity into creating pieces with big patterns and vivid colors. Bravo! I can't wait to see more.

Today's Rain

Has inspired me to push my limits and my camera's limits with water. Water is magnificent in all forms, and if caught in the right light can be amazing to the eye. The colors in these photos are completely untouched.
