Photo of the Week 6/28/10

I photographed the wedding of Stacey and Joe with my friend and talented photographer, Ian Johnson, this past weekend at the Tappan Hill Mansion in Tarrytown, NY. I got a lot of images I really liked and the one above is one of my favorites from the day. I captured this image with my Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 lens at a focal length of 82mm. This exposure was for 1/250th of a second at an aperture of f/2.8 and ISO of 500.

Since I got so many nice pictures on my trip to Maine, I felt compelled to select another image from this set for this week's photo of the week. I took this picture with my Nikkor 14-24mm lens at a focal length of 14mm. This image was made at an exposure of 1/500th of a second and an aperture of f/6.3 at an ISO of 100.

This week's photo of the week is another from my Maine trip. I took this photo on Long Cove in Harpswell, Maine. This image is a 9-shot HDR photo made with my Nikkor 14-24mm lens at a focal length of 14mm, aperture of f8.0, and ISO of 100.

On a trip to Maine last week, I ran into the one animal that moves fast enough to require me to crank my shutter speed up to the maximum of 1/8000th of a second. Even at this speed you can see the slight blur at the end of the hummingbird's incredibly fast moving wings. You can also see the bird's tongue sticking out just a bit as it looks for food. I captured this image using my Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 at a focal length of 125mm, shutter speed of 1/8000th of a second, aperture of f2.8, and ISO of 1000.

Photo of the Week 5/31/10

The year I found myself in Syracuse, NY for Memorial Day Weekend and not surprisingly at a BBQ with some friends. I took a few pictures and particularly liked this one of the host couple's almost 2 year old son on the swing set. I like photographing children because of the emotion they readily display as they go about their lives. Here you can clearly see the excitement and happiness in this child's face at the simple act of swinging. This image was captured at 1/400th of a second at an aperture of f2.5 and ISO of 400 using my 50mm f1.4 Nikkor lens.
