Beautiful Eyes

Beautiful Eyes

I shot this pic at my first commissioned work this past weekend. This Little girl has the most amazing eyes. I also enjoyed how the background fade out to Black.

Well I noticed I had not posted anything at all for March. So I dug up a shot from this month and posted it! Had some great natural outdoor light in this shot to help light up my Daughter's face!

Cootie Bugs

This photo challenge, with Ed's Photography and a new photographer from Milestones, was to take a photography representing "Toys".

Cootie Bugs

My daughter got the Game Cootie from Santa Claus this year and I thought what better to shoot a picture of then this classic game.

I shot this on my new Denim Background I got for Christmas using a external flash mounted on camera. I placed a white cloth over the the flash to try and soften the light. I also bounced the flash off a white ceiling. There was some ambient halogen lights in the room as well. A little post processing to brighten the colors helped as well.

Special thanks to my Wife, since I don't have a good way to hold the background, she lent a few hands.

New Background

New Backgorund

Shot this with my new toys from Christmas. A new background and my 50mm f/1.4. I also tried a new trick where I placed a white cloth over the flash to try and soften the light. I really like how that worked and at this time I don't have many other options.

Blue and Red

Blue & Red

I came across this photo as I was going through some old photos. They eyes really grabbed me into the photo and the Red pole in the background provides great contrast to the over all image.

Jet Stream Blue

Jet Stream Blue

This is a shot of my Dad's 2008 Jet Stream Blue Corvette. What a car, it has 436HP and uses it to achieve acceleration unlike anything I have every experienced. It brings a smile to your face every time you mash the accelerator to the floor.

Comparing this 2008 to an 1986 My Dad used to own Chevrolet has come along way in its build quality, material quality and overall fit and finish. Not to mention bringing its performance in competition with super cars like Ferrari and Lamborghini all while keeping it under $70K.

Go Chevy!

Green Valley

Green Valley

This was one of the last good shots from Livermore CA. This was cropped from a much larger image and I drove the saturation in the image to bring out the Blues and Greens!

I really like this image cause the hills remind me of Hills from Smurfs!

Great Wolf Ice

Great Wolf Ice

This was a shot out of our hotel room at Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City, MI. I really liked the clouds in the background and the blue sky. Was nice to see in the month of February, most of the winter its cloudy in Michigan.

Looking at the ISO I wish I would of dropped it down and/or closed down the aperture. However, I still like the picture.
