This photo shot of the my Wife's side of the family can't get any easier - but with a twist. Instead of setting the timer and hitting the shutter release; I used the interval function on the D3s. This is a trick I learned from Scott Jarvie at www.jarviedigital.com where I set the camera to take a photo every 10 seconds for 6 photos. I hit the shutter - placed myself within the group and we had 6 photos to choose from -- pretty slick.
While visiting the in-laws in Twin Falls, I decided to force myself to walk/drive around town looking for some color - sometimes in right in front of your face.
Thanksgiving with the family in Michigan -- wonderful.
This is one of my favorites -- and I don't even know what we were laughing about at the time -- It was near dusk and I wanted to take a serious picture but it ended up being a fest of goofing around. Good times.
Here's a building which really caught my attention -- it was the old hospital.
Its the little things which make a photo - Jesus Loves...
Fashion Remix 2010 -- hit the link for more specific info -- held at the Rail in Salt Lake City, brought an eclectic crowd in support of the designs and the fund raising for Cystic Fibrosis.
Shooting this venue was a challenge as I had to cherry pick - as I had no special access.
The venue was very big and although I was on an elevated mezinnine I was still a good 200 feet
away from the stage. Everything was shot at 200mm and then highly cropped. I never crop -- but
I had too -- and these highly cropped photos would be impossible to print bigger than 4x6 because
of the loss of resolution.
Early Friday morning last week I drove above the city to get a shot of the new construction downtown and an overall of the skyline.
The Sun popped up before I arrived and I missed the shot - and the vantage point was not what I expected anyway -- and then I turned around and framed the hills and antennas behind.
Friday night I was able to walk downtown and take advantage of the high ASA flexibility of the D3s. As I was walking Main Street near the Trax Station a group of CityCreek construction workers sat to await the next train. I saw them -- past -- they sat, and I knew it was a good picture but I decided naa... it's just not right. Three steps later -- I decided I needed the picture; went back -- asked for permission, and composed one image.
This is one of my favorites -- not only because of the subject, but becuase of how the image almost got away.
Nikon D3s - 50mm f1.4 ais
Mark Wilson and Roger Jackson - a part of the ownership at FFKR - www.ffkr.com posing for a candid during the annual open house.
Nikon D3s - 85mm f1.4 - shot with available light @ f4.0
Shot outside the office - walking out from a few hours work in order to catch up. The IPhone is quite the camera - for a phone camera.
While walking the neighborhood I came upon this group of flowers near one of the main sidewalks. I decided to frame as much as possible and later realized this may look good as a B/W conversion.
Since the Iphone-4 purchase I've been having a bunch of fun with the camera - hence the lapse of photos on the blog -- fight fire with fire -- so I'm using some Iphone photos on the blog for the first time.
This was a pass thru area toward the Gothic Room of the Salt Lake City Mason's Temple.
Weeks ago the doors opened to visitors as a part of their annual open house activities.
Captured on a whim while walking the neighborhood - and it turned out well. This is a stretch of my creativity as I try to push my limits.
Very little post processing as the sensor is really pushed to the limit.
Captured with Nikon D3s, 85mm f1.4 D lens, and processed in Adobe LightRoom usingwww.lifeindigitalfilm.com and www.X-Equals preset "Kodachrome 25 Curve"
