I haven’t been posting much about photography lately. I seem to be in a funk. I pick up my camera then I put it down again and make up some excuse not to shoot. The one thing I have been doing is cursing the web for inspirational photo’s or videos to jump start my brain. I came across one that I think is worth sharing. Take a peek and hit the comments to let me know what you think.

OK, I will admit it – I still have to stop and think through my f-stops. I hate to say it, but that whole f-stop thing gives me a run for my money every now and then. I ran across this post by Steve Benard on his Photo Naturalist site that just might help me and maybe a few others. Hit the link for a quick look. 
I saw this on one of my favorite photography websites. It’s not really photography related, but man is this cool! The video shows the winner of 2009’s ” Ukraine ’s Got Talent”, Kseniya Simonova, 24. She is drawing a series of pictures on an illuminated sand table showing how ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during World War II. Incredible to watch. One of my favorite all-time photog’s is Joe McNally. I was cruising his site this morning and I was reminded of the shoot he did for National Geographic – The Power of Light. Amazing shot! Amazing behind the scenes video! Just so inspirational. I would have paid anything to be able to tag along on that shoot. And I just saw on twitter he was local to me this past week – damn it! I would have loved to have a cup of coffee with that guy. Joe next time your in Town, I’m buying the coffee!

A quick shot from todays shoot. I will try to get a few more up this week. *edit…..Here are the most of the selects Brittany picked. She was a blast to work with and I hope she likes her pic’s.  A-10 Thunderbolt "Warthog" Most of my day today has been spent being lazy around the house. I gathered some firewood and brought that under the patio roof as were expecting a week of rain here. Took a nap and slept in this morning. So as I’m reading what I just typed, a thought came to mind – YES! Today rocks! I had quite a few images from several months back that I shot at the Miramar Air-Show in San Diego that still needed processing. So here are a few from the day. continue reading…  Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve Today was one of those days when I ran out of the house at 6:45 am in the rain on my way to a meeting. I had about a 30-mininute drive to the meeting and I was thinking the entire time that after the meting I wanted to head over to the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve and photograph Oak tree’s in the foothills. I knew it would would be a good day to create a few images in the fog and rain – BUT guess what? The camera was left at home – S*#t! I hate when I do this and I really considered turning around and going back for the camera. If the meeting wasn’t work related, I would have turned around. Now the skies are clear and boring – oh well. Here are a couple of shots from last spring out at the Reserve.  Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve Just ran across this blog and I’m digging it.. Learned about it from a friends twitter (twitter is good for something after all). Cruse over and check out Jim Goldstein’s blog. There are hundred’s of really great images in his “Best Photos of 2009 blog project” line-up. Fun stuff! |
