2010.10.31 (Halloween)

For those of you who have never done this, basically a parking lot if filled with cars who’s trunks are decorated, and all the kids go from car to car “trunk…

2010.10.25 (Strobist info: one light fun, 580exII with Umbrella at 1/4 power slightly camera left and above.) I think I’ve got a pretty good feel with my lights now, and I want to try to use some of the same techniques I like with portraits in Photoshop but shooting with these small lights. The truth…

2010.10.15 (iPhoneography)

2010.10.25 (iPhoneography) There is a bit of an argument going on in the iPhoneography world right now. Some say that “art” can be made with some apps and not others, and then some are angry at the first group and yell and flame them. It all a bit like the Dr. Suess book “Star Belly…

2010-10-23

2010-10-23 Wasn’t a great week for my project 365. But, I’m just getting back on the horse and continuing on. Rained all week – which is kind of nice since we don’t see that often. But . . . because we don’t see it often I think we are all getting depressed. Seasonal depression disorder,…

2010.10.17

2010.10.17 (Circle in the Square) Not too much to say about this one, except have I mentioned that it has been a foggy and wet October? Of course “wet” here means a very slight drizzle for the morning and evenings. If we get over 0.1 inches of rain in a day it is a MAJOR…

Peterson Family Beach Portraits

The Peterson’s asked me to take a few family pictures for them a few weeks back.  Cole and Hailey (the two youngsters) were so cute.  They did such a good job and it was not a very easy day to take these pictures. Early on the day looked great.   A bit overcast, a little…

2010.10.16 One more from Pt. Magu. This a small beach pretty close to our house. I’m playing with some neutral density filters here. F22 I believe with a ND4 and an ND2 on the lens. Made for a pretty long exposure. October here has been weird. Foggy, a bit wet, and sort of overcast which…

2010.10.14

2010.10.14 Foggy, overcast, dark evening at the beach. Would have been great for a portrait or two . . . but instead had to have fun with slow waves. Good group and good talk about photography is always fun.

2010.10.13

2010.10.13 Tomorrow I’m going out to the beach again at sunset with a new photogroup from my neighborhood. I’m pretty excited to get out there with some other photographers and talk/shoot together. Should be fun. I’m sure I’ll have stuff to share.
