The Past Meets the Present

A few weeks ago I had a wonderful lady named Lila come into my studio for a sitting to surprise her children with some portraits. Having looked through my sample book, she saw a picture of an elderly woman masked together with an old photo taken of her in the 1940's. Lila asked if I would be able to do the same for her. I did with a few of the older photos she brought and after seeing them, she was very happy with the results. My plans are from here on that I will be posting one or two of the best from each sitting I do providing I have permission from my customers to do so. Thanks again Lila. Your warm heart and kindness is an inspiration to all photographers.

The Eagles have Landed

I took my girls out to find an eagles nest which was reportedly only a few miles from my home. I followed a gravel road near the river and while coming around a bend in the road, my daughter yelled out that she could see the nest. Sure enough sitting approximately 50 feet off the ground was a large nest. We stopped and I could see that there was indeed a bald eagle perched on the edge of the nest. I set my camera and began taking shots. I felt I still was not close enough and got out and walked across a small field to the edge of a wooded area. Again I took more shots and then realized that there were 2 eagles. Having my 300mm. telephoto lens at max I still felt that I was not close enough but getting any closer would have put me in the thick of the brush and I would not have gotten a clear shot. I plan on going their more often in the near future and hopefully get some good shots of them in flight closer to where I'm shooting.

New lighting experiments

Tammy brought our daughters Macayla and Mckenzie in for some spring portraits. I decided this would be a good time to try some new lighting techniques I've been reading up on. I must say it did not take long to get the lighting just how I wanted it. I will now be using it more in my sittings in the future.
