Dancing to "It's Alright" by Fracture

After a beautiful day of photographing Kristina Desjardins, she wanted to dance in the field after our session for her new head shots were finished. This is what unfolded before my eyes.

From Headlines to Timelines

From Headlines to Timelines       

         30 years ago something became news when you woke up in the morning,  grabbed the paper from out front, sipping your coffee to read what happened in the world yesterday.  

   YESTERDAY!!

       Yesterday is no longer relevant in today's digital age. Artists or Photographers who make headlines today, might be lost in the shuffle of what is current or trending. Make it a daily effort to put your work out on a daily basis, you never know who will pick up on it in their Timeline! One post can change your life forever. Be diligent in your digital battle, if know one knows about you. How can they hire you?

New HDR Photos

Loving HDR EFEX from Nik Software, In my opinion it's so much better than Photomatix Pro. There are many more custom filters, the U Point controls are Awesome. You can control a specific portion of a photo, if it's too dark or needs more contrast there are sliders built into change the levels. You have total control of the look and feel of the images that you can create in HDR EFEX.

Canon Instant Rebates!

I hate having to snail mail a rebate in, or for that matter even going online to fill out the form can be daunting to me some days. I am sure I am not alone, when I say I love instant rebates. They require you to do nothing, except save money instantly. What's not to love about that. I love Canon cameras, lenses and flashes so... here are some instant savings.

You Must Have A Really Nice Camera!

So I have heard this statement over and over again this Summer & Fall. WOW! You must have a really nice, expensive, a lot of Megapixels, or a my favorite a great autofocus. What I want to say, and what I say are entirely different. I just nod smile and continue shooting the events as they unfold before me.

I do have a nice camera a Canon 5D (not a II) and a bunch of Canon L-Series lenses which help me work and photograph the way I want to. What the average photo enthusiast or point & shooter doesn't happen to understand is that I don't merely take a "Snap Shot", I am looking to create a certain look and feel to the images I make. I am not simply pressing the shutter in hopes that I might have a good image, I know when I will have a good image.

So the next time you are at a function where there is a professional photographer at a event that you are attending, please just know that they are there to work.  Everyone's view and perspectives are different. But just knowing a photographer or any artist for that matter is working out their creative vision. Their real focus is going to be on how this will look like to them, the client, and the general population.

Remember This:

Before you take a photo, ask yourself is this something I would want to look at, or better yet hang on my wall for others to see.

Keep Living Your Dreams.

Bring Guns to a Knife Fight..

Today's photography market seems to be evolving on a daily basis with new inventions such as the new camera from Lytro (light field camera) is going to change the way a photographer sees a composition. You can frame the shot, then refocus anywhere within the frame.

Photographers remember to evolve, or you will be left in the past... KodaChrome, Polaroids.. When gear becoming cheaper..newer technology drives down the prices of the older models. Cameras that used to cost 10,000+ dollars, you can know capture the same quality with a camera that costs a fraction of that price.

Notice I said Quality, because you can have the best equipment and still not be able to capture a good image. The camera doesn't make photographer, the photographer is the eye in the vision he wishes to create. What's your vision, wanting you to express.

Something to think about:

Price Comparison $2,300 (Canon) to $41,995 (Hasselblad)
21 MP vs. 60 MP
Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only)
Hasselblad H4D-60 Digital SLR Camera

Do 39 more MegaPixels make that much difference? Well I would save the $39,695 and spend it on marketing. If no one knows about you or your business how many people are going to buy your photographs or book you? Food for thought photogs.

Vermont State Fair Photographs

 The New Lighting for the Ferris Wheel from Colman Bros. Shows is flipping amazing the LED lights light up the entire midway.. I cannot stop watching the various patterns and colors.

This Pattern of the Ferris Wheel looks kind of like a spinning top..

Downtown Rutland Vermont In HDR

Experimenting with photography is something I like to do when I feel like I am at a stand still with my creative energy. These photos were all taken atop of the Parking Deck on West Street in Downtown Rutland. I think these look like paintings in a way, I took three different exposures (-1,0,+1) merged them all together with Photomatix. Please be sure to leave comment, to give me feedback on how I can improve my HDR images. Thank You

This photo was taken from Depot Park in Rutland Vermont
