July, 2009 Archives

So, I left out a few images from the last update… These are some others that I really like from my shoot with my buddy’s family! (Again, click on the landscape image for an enlargment that looks clear and crisp.)

Family Photos (cont…)

I was asked by a friend if I could do some family photos, so when I was headed over for a monthly get together we scheduled in some time for everyone to head into the yard for some pictures.  I think they turned out pretty great, so here are a couple samples.  (BTW, their daughter is the cutest…  I love that I am Uncle Jeff – I get to do fun things like let her drive my new car when her parents aren’t looking!!!  haha…)

(Click on each image to embiggen…  I need to find a better way to resize images BEFORE importing them into WordPress…  The images are not normally this blocky.)

Shares comments and thoughts, por fa!

Family Photos

I ordered a 50mm prime lens about 2 months ago and it went on backorder…  I finally had it show up at my place, magically, on my birthday!  I absolutely LOVE the thing…  I can bring the f number down to 1.4 and get some really stunning results with portraits.  None of the following were taken in exotic locations or anything, I just took them around the house when Crystal was her for my birthday and Jenny came over a couple days later.

I’m also going to add in a couple different version of the pictures I took of Jenny just to show how proficient I am getting in Lightroom (which is amazing, FYI)!  Thanks again to Kelli Nicole for sending me in that direction for photo editing.
