NATURE SHOOT ON 9-15-08

ME AND MY SON WENT FOR A WALK NEAR UNIVERSITY AND HAD A FUN TIME

SHOOTING THE AREA. HE IS 7 NOW AND I AM TRAINING HIM TO TAKE OVER SO I CAN RETIRE EARLY.

PHOTOS V/S PHOTOGRAPHY...

I HAVE SAID IN THE PAST THAT IF YOU TAKE PICTURES OF SOMEONE OR SOMETHING THAT IT SHOULD BE SHOT AS IF IT WERE GOING TO BE SOLD. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN A PICTURE AND A PHOTOGRAPH. THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IS HOW IT IS SHOT. I WAS SHOOTING AT HOME AND HERE IS AN EXAMPLE...

ABOVE: PICTURE

PHOTOGRAPH/PORTRAIT

NOTICE THAT THE TOP PHOTO IS JUST A SNAPSHOT WITH A CAST SHADOW IN THE BACKGROUND AND A SIMPLE POSE.

THE SHOT AT THE BOTTOM SHOWS MORE OF HER PERSONALITY AND THE LIGHTING IS MUCH BETTER. THE BACKGROUND IS MY WHITE WALL AND I USED 1-SIMPLE LIGHT AND TURNED MY CAMERA FLASH OFF. THIS GIVES ME MORE EVEN LIGHT AND I USED THE CAMERA TO FRAME HER FACE A LITTLE MORE. THESE WERE JUST MINUTES APART.

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR NEXT SHOOT...!

IN YOUR OWN YARD...

IF YOU GET BORED AT HOME JUST WALK OUTSIDE WITH YOUR CAMERA. THERE ARE LOTS OF THINGS TO SHOOT. JUST LOOK AROUND.

TRAIN RIDE...

ON CHRISTMAS EVE, ANOTHER PHOTOGRAPHER AND I, (MARK) MADE PLANS TO RIDE THE NEW TRAIN IN CHARLOTTE, N.C. AT AROUND 8AM WE ARRIVED AND RODE TO THE END LOOKING FOR A FEW LOCATIONS TO SHOOT ON THE WAY BACK. I WILL SAY IT WAS WELL WORTH IT. THIS WAS A MORNING OF, BELIEVE IT OR NOT,..POINT AND SHOOT. WE BATTLED IT OUT WITH OUR BACK-UP'S. CANON V/S PANASONIC.

ALL OF THESE PICS WERE WITH MY PANASONIC..SEE YOU CAN BE A POINT AND SHOOT PHOTOGRAPHER..ITS ALL ABOUT THE EYE.

MAKE YOUR OWN MAGAZINE COVER..

TO START, USE A BLANK 8X10 FORMAT, DECIDE WHAT PHOTO YOU WANT TO USE, PICK A TITLE FOR THE MAGAZINE, AND THEN GET CREATIVE.

THE BARCODE ON THE COVER IS BASIC...YOU CAN CREATE ONE IN PHOTOSHOP, OR TAKE A PHOTO OF ONE AND PASTE IT ON.

I USED A BRIDE THAT I SHOT IN VIRGINIA, SO THE TITLE FITS.

OF COURSE I PUT THE MONTH SHE GOT MARRIED AND MY E-MAIL ADDRESS.

I PLAN ON DOING MORE OF THESE IN THE FUTURE..

BRANDI...

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME..

THE PHOTOS CAME OUT GREAT..

PHOTOS AT THE PARK...

THIS PAST SAT. I WOKE UP EARLY ENOUGH TO DRIVE TO DALLAS, NC AND SHOOT IN THE PARK. IT WAS QUIET AND THERE WERE MANY PHOTO OPPS. I SPENT A GOOD HOUR SHOOTING AND HERE ARE THE RESULTS...

WEDDING PHOTOS...

NOT MANY WEDDINGS ARE IN THE LATE AFTERNOON..WHICH IS GREAT FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO GATHER. SO IF ANYONE HAS TO WORK ON SAT. MORNING OR HAVE OTHER THINGS GOING ON THIS WORKS OUT WELL. THE RECEPTION WAS IN CANDLE LIGHT ALSO WHICH I LOVE. THE DECOR AND THE COLORS WERE GREAT.

I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK, YOU ARE LIKE MY SISTER, I AM VERY HAPPY FOR YOU.

BASIC DEPTH OF FIELD PHOTOS...

TO BLUR THE BACKGROUND, USE A 5MP CAMERA OR BETTER, WITH THE ZOOM AT THE MAX, STEP ALL THE WAY BACK AND STILL KEEP THE SUBJECT IN THE FRAME. WHEN YOU DO THIS, KEEP THE CAMERA STILL AND SHOOT A FEW FRAMES. LATER ON YOU CAN CHOOSE THE BEST SHOT. REMEMBER, TAKE SOME TEST SHOTS TO ADJUST THE LIGHTING...I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU..

WILLIAMSON WEDDING...

MY FIRST ASSISTANT JOB..

ON MONDAY NIGHT, ON MY WAY TO WORK, I RECIEVED A PHONE CALL FROM A FELLOW PHOTOGRAPHER ASKING IF I WAS FREE ON TUE. MORNING. I WAS WORKING FROM 9PM MON. NIGHT TILL TUE. MORNING AT 7AM. I ASKED HIM WHAT TIME AND HE SAID 8:30AM. THIS WAS A GREAT CHANCE TO BE A PRO PHOTOGRAPHERS ASSISTANT. I COULD NOT PASS THIS UP. HIS NAME IS WILLIAM MCKELLAR, AND HE IS GREAT. WE WERE SHOOTING PHOTOS AT THE NASCAR TECH. INSTITUTE, IN MOORESVILLE, N.C. I LEARNED SO MUCH THAT DAY, NOT ONLY ABOUT WILLIAM, AND HIS WAY OF SHOOTING, BUT ABOUT THE GREAT STUDENTS AT NTI AND THEIR PASSION FOR WHAT THEY LOVE TO DO. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR AN AWESOME, FUN FILLED DAY. I ALSO WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO JULIE AND DAVE FOR LETTING ME BE A PART OF THIS GREAT PROJECT. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH ALL YOU IN THE FUTURE. THANKS AGAIN FOR A GREAT DAY OF FUN. NOW, LETS RUN THE ENGINE DYNO AGAIN....
