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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
On A Roll
Wednesday, December 29th, 2010
Of course, Brooke is really on an upturned tree root system, not a roll, but the photo itself seems to be on something of a roll. I already told you that this photo was accepted into the highly respected and exclusive Lexington Art League Nude show, opening January 15. Now I’ve been informed that it […]
Lexington Art League
Wednesday, December 1st, 2010
I’m pretty happy today. There’s an annual show of nude art put on by the Lexington Art League in Lexington, Kentucky. It’s a very highly regarded show and one I’ve wanted to enter for several years. For some reason I always would miss the call for entries and end up missing the deadline to enter. […]
Kat on a cold rock ledge
Sunday, November 28th, 2010
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. I did…and that’s why I haven’t been here posting new photos for a few days. We went to relatives out of town on Thanksgiving Day and then all my kids came home for a second Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. So I’m just recovering from all that today. In […]
