Back In The North
February 28th, 2011
I returned home over the weekend. There was snow on the ground when we arrived back in Ohio, but it melted yesterday. Today it rained, but the temperature is dropping and it looks like we will be getting another taste of winter. But it’s March tomorrow, so the end is near.
That’s another photo of the lovely Christa up at the top, taken in Savannah where the temperature was 79 degrees. Below is another photo of Sarah in the great location that Bill Ballard arranged for us. Thanks again, Bill. And great thanks and praise to both Christa and Sarah for a wonderful shoot. I’ll have some more of them to share soon.
This is a busy week for me. I’ll be going to Athens, Ohio, for a couple days to photograph a dance concert at the Ohio University School of Dance. That’s always a fun trip back to my alma mater. And I’m looking forward to using the high ISO capabilities of my new D7000 for the performance photos. Of course, this will be my first time using the new camera in that environment, so it will be a learning experience. As soon as I get back from Athens I have to go visit my accountant for the annual income tax ordeal. So getting all that paperwork together will occupy the remainder of this week.
Here is one final photo of Bill at work, taken with the fisheye lens. The model is Christa. The location is fantastic. One important trick that must be mastered when using a fisheye is keeping the photographer’s feet out of the photo. The lens takes in 180 degrees, so if you tip the lens down just a little, there are your feet at the bottom of the frame. I’ve pretty much got the hang of that skill…no, I didn’t have to crop this one to get my feet out.
