I was given the opportunity to attend the HDR workshop instructed by Trey Ratcliff and Scott Bourne yesterday in Tampa, Florida. If you don’t recognize those names, you should. Trey Ratcliff is the man behind the most popular travel photography blog Stuck In Customs and is the author of the latest HDR photography book to [...]
One of the things that I have been wanting for a long while is to shoot with studio quality strobes outside of the studio while on location for a photo shoot. The only problem is that there is usually no power available where I am shooting or the power there isn’t good enough to trust [...]
When I was in Tampa shooting with all my friends (I’ll be posting about the trip soon) I happened to be the only one there with a Canon D-SLR. Everyone else was sporting a fancy little point-n-shoot camera. Just kidding… they each had a Nikon D-SLR of some sort. We got to talking about shooting [...]
Last week I found myself in South Florida on a mixed purpose trip with my buddies Robert Vanelli, Sandy Foster, and Norm DiCrocco. We made the trip south to do a small photo shoot with Bill “Superfoot” Wallace who is a legend in the martial arts world and a good friend of Vanelli’s. Since we [...]
Today was the 2nd annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk. We had a really good walk in Melbourne, Florida which was lead by Robert Vanelli. We were booked full but between a few cancels and a few extras that showed up, we were right at 50. Other than being a little hot out it was a [...]
After many scrubbed launches, everything came together this afternoon for a beautiful launch of shuttle Endeavor. At 6:03pm the shuttle left the pad and sped off towards space and its eventual rendevous with the International Space Station. My brother was able to get me and a few friends to the turn basin to watch the [...]
I’ve lived in Central Florida for most of my life and have always been a huge fan of the space center. I cannot even count how many shuttle and rocket launches I have witnessed. Some I’ve seen from up close and others from a distance. For this launch my brother, a NASA employee, was able [...]
Unified Color released version 2.12 of HDR PhotoStudio last week with a lot of improvements and additions. I’ve been putting it through its paces for a while now and really like what they have done with the application. In fact, a few of my bigger complaints from the very first review I wrote on the [...]
My family took a spontaneous trip to Busch Gardens in Tampa this weekend. I didn’t take nearly as many photos as I thought I would. I was having too much fun hanging out with my family! But I did take a few and also shot some bracketed exposures for HDR’s. Here are a few of [...]
This morning I shot with a model named Faith. Within two minutes of meeting her we established the fact that she is a US Marine too. She went to boot camp in 2001 right about the time I was heading overseas for the second time. Small world! The shoot went really well and was a [...]
This is another HDR image from exposures I took yesterday morning. I had driven by what is left of this house a few times in the past and kept making a mental note to return to it with my camera. I finally got around to doing it. This is all that is standing of a [...]
I woke up at 5:45am this morning due to my alarm going off. I had set it just 5 hours before with the intention of going out for a nice morning of photography. So I woke up, turned off the alarm, and immediately climbed back into bed with full intention of going back to sleep. [...]
Last weekend I woke up early to go out and shoot the sunrise from the beach. I was hoping to get out there early and catch some shots like Twilight that I shot last year. Well, I didn’t wake up that early and when I did get out to the beach the cloud cover was [...]
