Interior

I rarely shoot interiors...not what I usually get called for but a new client (Joelle Salon in Birmingham) asked B-Metro Magazine for a shoot and here is what I did. There was no supplemental lighting as I did HDR techniques plus some ACR enhancements to make the place look pretty cool.

My emphasis on keeping it simple. No lights + tripod. Knowing what I wanted before I shot made these images very nice

Cheers!

Steampunk; The rest...

Here are the spreads for my Steampunk feature in B-Metro Magazine. For those curious types, each shot had only one light ...total.

Cheers!

I am attaching also the cover of B-Metro Magazine in which all these cool and fun images appear.

Alabama Horse Council Annual Horse Show

Hello all!

Spent the weekend shooting the Alabama Horse Show in Montgomery. I had a booth set opposite the world famous trainer Craig Cameron where I had a selection of my horse images. A lot of folks signed up for email information and I booked a number of private horse photo sessions along with making a very nice connection with another trainer to provide images for their advertising program.

I've attached a few images from the show. I hope they show the flavor of how kids are a very big part of this event. Observant viewers may notice the lighting. It comes from opposite sides of the arena. I put up 4 strobes (two on each side about halfway up the stands) and rigged them with Paul C Buff strobe receivers which I triggered with a transmitter mounted on the hotshoe on my Nikon D3x.

Cheers!

1.1.11

After feeding and tending to my horses on this first day of the new year, I saw this chilly, nicely grim image of my ranch that I just had to capture...with my iPhone.

Last blog entry coffee winner? Heather Durham!!! I'll be sending that Starbucks or O'Henry's gift card.

Happy New Year all!!

Cheers!

Freezing Rain

When I have a client that knows how to dress fashionably for the crummy weather we're currently being subjected to...one just has to rip through a few frames.

So...Here's Lindsay. 29º and freezing rain. Old timey kind of mood all done with ambient light.

Cheers!

ps Don't forget...make comments and the winner get's a coffee gift card! Lindsey Griffin was last weeks's caffeination.

It's all about coffee (well, it's marketing really)

Ok.been a while. My Bad.

I was sitting around trying to think of how to get some people to make comments on my blog. I was sippin a cuppa joe at Urban Standard here in the Magic City and I figured, if I could reach out and say, "Read my blog and I'll share a coffee with you.", maybe I'll get some hits here.

Hmmm...so, here's the deal. Every time I get responses on the blog (nice ones, I hope), and if there are multiple responses, I'll write your email address on a slip of paper (you need to give it to me for this to work). I'll drop them into my University of South Florida ball cap, mix 'em up and pull out a winner. I'll send that person a card from Starbucks for a free cuppa coffee.

Hope you like this idea. Any others are welcome

Cheers!
