More on the rocks
Thursday, May 5th, 2011
After wandering through the old canal lock and stopping to smell the flowers Brooke and I came upon this lovely cliff face and stopped for a few more photos. Again, I had always known there were photos here to be taken, but the combination of this location with all its memories for me and my […]
Spring Flowers
Monday, May 2nd, 2011
The wild flowers were starting to bloom when Brooke and I were out taking photos near my childhood home. This patch of “Blue Bells” was particularly nice, so we decided to try to make some photos there. Wild flowers with nudes seldom work, but I think these came out ok. What I’m finding interesting is the […]
It’s A Lock…
Wednesday, April 27th, 2011
…An old canal lock, that is. A canal used to run through this old area near my childhood home. The remains of one of the locks is still there. Natural rocks can make a great background for figure photos, but man-made rocks can work as well. I spent most of the day yesterday editing just […]
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, […]
Another of Char
Sunday, April 10th, 2011
It’s way too nice a day here for me to spend much time at the computer. I need to go clean up the yard and I might even mow part of it for the first time this afternoon. It may get up to 84 degrees today, which will set a record if it happens. This […]
More Char…and a Movie Rant
Wednesday, April 6th, 2011
Wow, there must be a lot of Char Rose fans out there. I don’t follow all that closely how many people visit my blog, but I couldn’t help noticing that visitors almost doubled after I posted that last photo of Char. Since I’m not really saying anything of note here, it has to be Char […]
Statuesque
Monday, April 4th, 2011
Here’s another studio photo of Char Rose. I don’t shoot this sort of thing in the studio very often because, in general, I’m just not interested in this kind of classical figure study photography. It’s pretty much been done. I have a studio and a bunch of lights, so creating a setup like this isn’t […]
