    Just starting out

    So far, I've had a bit of success in outdoor family photo sessions. I've got a 5-in-1 reflector/diffuser combo set, and will be piecing together a workable portable studio lighting set (Thanks, John, for the "DIY Cheap" thread!) until I can afford bigger steps, but until then, I'm targeting the...

    Sometimes, it's just fun to wander and see what catches your eye, then stop and shoot as you please. No rhyme, no reason, all fun. I posted 3 of these pics from a trip earlier in the month already, and they can be seen in the November monthly challenge, but here's a few more found while...

    Large Family Photo Shoot

    So... if a photographer were going to do a family portrait session for a family with *5* (FIVE) <<insert LOTS here>> kids, would other photographers have any tips for him perhaps?? :cool: Yup, looks like I've got a challenge ahead of me! I have NEVER shot such a large family group, but I...

    Couple more butterflies from the RiverParks... Plus a wee bee. ...and one from another of the local parks. Getting to where I really love shooting/editing landscapes! Can't wait to show off a few more of my fave portraits from the last week or so!

    Had my 2nd ever portrait session today. WHAT A BLAST!!! It's a groovy feeling doing something you love, and seeing how the family reacts is priceless! Perhaps I'll share some of those pics soon, but until then, I need to give my eyes a break from editing. Gives me PLENTY of time to share...

    More Natural Falls State Park pics later, gotta get caught up on some... :) Like a lunchtime trip to the RiverParks? 1st two pics... I don't know what they're watching for, nor do I *WANT* to know. What *I* came looking for was the color of Fall in the city... and I found a bit. :)

    Recently took a trip to Natural Fall State Park and spotted a young family where the wife was the "shooter" catching lots of pics of her husband and child. I, being the friendly sort, offered to get a photo of all of them together with her camera (even if it WAS a Canon), so she returned the...

    Last of my faves from the wedding... Staging... Getting ready for the next planned pic! (I was shooting between people and it gave a rather nice effect, I think) These next 2 were just adorable, IMO... Nothing like a groom getting shocked while his bride laughs! Time to run the...

    Post your Insect shots

    Found these crawling all over the moss on a recent trip to Natural Falls State Park. No idea what they are. Captured with my 50mm 1.8G ISO 400 f5, 1/640

    Ok, on to some more of my faves... Coconspirators? (Yes, these guys were FUN to follow and shoot!) I can't believe you're making me do this AGAIN... Doing their duty when it's all on the line... Loved the look of the preach/groom/wedding party watching the wee ones advance, and loved...

    Portrait Edit

    Had an idea with my 1st ever portrait session, went for it with the basic tools I have, and here it is... the couple really seemed to like it, but I'm interested in the nitty gritty feedback I know I'll get here. The original raw file was sharpened up a bit in LR5, then I used the new MacPhun...

    Speaking of which, here are a few more "prop" shots that were popular. 1st, the very simple centerpiece... the communion implements were on this table, and the lighting behind it was quite nice. Then the "guest" table with their fave engagement picture and the guest register. ...a little...
