Home on the Rocks
Saturday, April 23rd, 2011
Brooke is here visiting. That makes me happy. I work with quite a few wonderful models. They are all special, but Brooke is more special than any other model I’ve ever worked with. She’s my favorite. I guess I shouldn’t say that and I hope that none of my other models feel bad because I’ve said that, […]
Another Answer
Thursday, April 21st, 2011
After all that stuff about techniques to fix photos taken in “challenging” light, there is really a very different approach that is the one I most often use and that is much more likely to succeed, if I can manage it. It’s much better to simply find the place where the light I’m struggling with […]
Software Alternatives
Monday, April 18th, 2011
I’ve been working on finding better ways to post-process photos done in bright sunlight. I think I’m beginning to improve the results. I talked with my old friend, Tim Black, about my problems and he suggested I try the Nikon software to process the RAW files. I’ve had bad experiences with Nikon’s software in the […]
Spring Has Sprung
Friday, April 15th, 2011
I know it’s spring here in Ohio because I’ve already shot the first frozen model of the year here. Thanks to Angie we slipped out to our favorite local waterfall for a shoot earlier this week. We got a later start than we had hoped for, and, of course, the sun was out full force, […]
Softness
Saturday, April 2nd, 2011
As I’ve said before here, I’m tired of winter and bored with working in the studio. One of the things I do when I get bored in the studio is bring out my old soft-focus lens and shoot with it. I’ve had this lens, a single-element lens in Nikon mount, for more than 30 years. […]
Variations
Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011
It seems that many of my favorite models are also talented photographers. I think that has more to do with my liking to work with models who understand what I’m trying to do than with anything else. Charlise is one of those “modelographers” and is very good on both sides of the camera. One of the […]
Down on the Plantation
Saturday, March 19th, 2011
The nature preserve where I shot with Charlise used to be a plantation…actually two plantations. The main buildings are long gone with just a few foundation stones remaining to show where they used to be. But a couple small buildings remain. And they gave us some protection from the bright sun for a few photos. Above […]
Dawn at the Beach
Monday, March 14th, 2011
Here are a couple more photos of the lovely Charlise on the beach at dawn. The sun was unrelenting the whole time we were shooting, but at least it had some directional nature when if first arrived above the horizon. And thanks to Charlise for being such a trooper that she was there ready to go […]
Naked Chicks in Trees
Friday, March 11th, 2011
I don’t only take photos of naked chicks on rocks. Sometimes I do photos of naked chicks in trees. While I was down south I was blessed with the chance to work with a wonderful new (to me) model, Charlise. I had actually contacted Charlise on an earlier trip down to South Carolina, but it […]
A Lovely Pair
Sunday, March 6th, 2011
As expected, this past week has been exceptionally busy. Getting tax stuff ready. Trip to Athens for two days to photograph the winter concert at the Ohio University School of Dance. Appointment with my accountant. And a quick visit from my daughter who flew up from Tampa to do an interview for grad school. I […]
