Nikon Scan 4 is already loaded, I just have to hook up the scanner tomorrow (it is 1am and I just got back from the lab a little while ago and am bushed) and let the scanning begin again! My Nikon Super CoolScan LS-8000 scanner has sat idle for more than a year and a half now.

D700 and 105mm f/1.8 AIS Nikkor with weak fill flash And yes, our sand really is that white! It can be blinding in the summer time, sunglasses are almost a must. And our water is a beautiful emerald green, hence our nickname, the "emerald coast"

When my old desktop finally gave up the ghost, I got a newer Dell Inspiron. Nothing too fancy, but plenty for what I needed it for. The problem was that it came loaded with Windows 7. Here's the rub. I have a $3000 Nikon Super CoolScan LS-8000 in my office collecting dust. It does some of the...

I was just looking through some of my images in my gallery here and suddenly this idea popped into my head......when you combine my twisted sense of humor with my Photoshop skills, hilarity often ensues. Btw, I shot this image with my venerable old 500mm f/8 Reflex Nikkor. I often lament getting...

Yes, I do photograph people besides just beautiful models, though Haley here could hold her own with any of them! Try as I might, I just could not hold detail in the brightest area's of their shirts. It just exceeded the D700 sensor, even at 14 bit This was shot as part of their engagement thing

We have a very old fort (circa 1831) at the end of Pensacola Beach and it always makes for some great location shots. D700 and 85mm f/1.4 AIS Nikkor

Sometimes all it takes is the right light, the right lens and a little help from PS and you can take a not so attractive woman and work wonders. Elle is a sweet woman and not un-attractive, but she is not model material either. As a photographer it is not really my job to take a pin and pop...

No category fits this question really so I will throw it here. Although this question is more applicable to the old timers amongst us who spend(t) many years working with film and darkroom work but anyone here feel free to chime in. So here's the quesiton: Do you think programs like Photoshop...

These don't really belong in portrait but it is close enough. These images are from a show the KHH had in Beulah, FL, a stone's throw from here, during their annual Beulah Sausage Fest. Each year the Beulah Volunteer Fire Department hosts a 2 day event complete with carnival rides, horse shows...

Sometimes simple is better. A single softbox for main light, a reflector to fill in shadows, a little hair light and light on the background and a fan to provide a little movement for her hair She had the most flawless complexion I have ever seen on someone. Practically no makeup at all in this...

.......the start of beautiful women, sun dresses and itty bitty bikini's! This one is from last year this time, but it is just about that time again this year! It is 68° with cloudless skies here right now and with that kind of glorious weather comes beach shoots again! It's a dirty, miserable...

Shawna is a 42 year old (at the time this photo was taken 4 years ago) mix of French and Creek Indian heritage and is simply a breathtakingly beautiful woman, for ANY AGE. Nothing is more flattering for portaiture than diffused window light, especially for a woman who is no longer in her 20's...

I have watched Baldie chicks grow up and leave the nest from a nest in Decorah, IA for years now. But this year, however, the mating pair (they mate for life) have chosen another nest this year. In order not to stress the nesting pair or possibly endager eggs (which should already have been laid...

If you are military, or even perhaps not, no doubt you have heard about the new Distinguished Warfare medal which is going to be awarded to drone "pilots". Now as a retired US Army Infantryman and Sapper, I don't have a problem in the world recognizing someone for their contributions to the...

Another shoot with Victoria this morning. This time she brought along her stylist and I must say he was just simply precious! As soon as AJ got out of the car, all the bells and lights started going off on my Gaydar. AJ was so proud of these shorts because he "designed" them himself. If this...

Victoria is a new model I just started working with today. She was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. I have not shot on a rooftop in a while and had kind of forgotten about all the potentially vexing backgrounds! D700, 180mm f/2.8 ED-IF AIS with an 8x ND filter and fill flash

..........and no, I did not take a trip to DC, that is the Puzzle Palace. I stopped off at our zoo in Gulf Breeze this afternoon on the way home and snapped a few photos. Gorgeous day to be outside, 60 degrees and sunny. I really wanted some of the tigers but they were just sleeping under their...

It's a sucky job photographing beautiful young women in sexy bathing suits, but someone has to just suck it up and just do it! D700 and 105mm f/1.8 AIS Nikkor with 2 fill flash on an overcast day. The image is resized so small that you can't see the catchlights in her eyes, but they are there.

This project is going to contain NSFW images so don't open this at work or in front of the wife and kids. Well, I picked up some 35mm TX today in prepartion for my "back to the 60's" retro project. I am going to go out shoot some non descript stuff tomorrow and play around with ASA (remember...
