Day 24 Check out this baby bird!


Today i wanted to go to norfolk and shoot something different so i started shooting buildings, statues and some really cool sunset shots. Then i came across this little bird that wasnt moving to much so i got a couple of frames and moved closer and closer till i was at 3ft the min focus distance for my 70-200mm F4. I had got one light set up and went to put up another one but i think this scared him cause he took off hopping (he couldnt fly yet)

Day 5 how the week flies


At first the idea of shooting a picture a day for 365 day sounded hard but to be honest its fun and refreshing. It gets the creative juices flowing and the break from the norm is good. Day 5 it rained again so i grabbed the umbrella (the one made for rain not light mod) and went down to pembroke va beach to walk around and find something interesting to shoot.

Rain rain go away, come back another day


So to day it rained and i still had to come up with a shot so i put up my back drop and some speedlites/studio strobe and started shooting. Working with kids is never easy but usually fun. hope you enjoy!

I'm forever blowing bubbles....


Day Three and im really liking this 365 thing! Today Elayna (my two1/2 yr old) wanted to play with her bubbles and i wanted to get something good for the Project. Tiffany (my wife) took her outside with bubbles in hand, while i grabbed a light stand, shoot thru and flash.

Today for my project i thought i would try some HDR images. I found this motorcycle in the parking lot and shot three exposures -2,0,+2 on the EV. Photo matix for the final post processing and removed some debris from the motorcycle and background.

Well today will be the begining of my 365. Last night i went out looking for that special shot, giving myself 30 mins to get it done. Well i set up my 580ex ii on a light stand with a poverty wizard (cactus triggers) and ebay umbrella. Everything was going good until the wind picked up and took my light stand to the ground bending the umbrella. I was able to get a couple more shots before it happened again this time breaking the 1/4 -20 threaded swivel on one of my poverty wizards. I wrapped it up and headed home for the evening.
