Photo of the Week 11/22/10

This past weekend I traveled to Delaware for a shoot and then visited my friends Scott and Evelyn and their dog, Marleau (pronounced just like Marlow), in Catonsville, MD. On Sunday morning, I helped my friends rake leaves and took some pictures of Marleau playing with tennis balls, eating sticks, and jumping in the leaf piles. The image above was captured during a rare moment of rest for this puppy. This image was made using my Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lens at an aperture of 2.8, shutter speed of 1/1600th of a second, and ISO 125.

Photo of the Week 11/15/10

I was out in Park Slope, Brooklyn on this past Friday, November 12th and came across this a fire that had started in a supermarket and consumed the two floors of apartments about the store. Thankfully no one at the supermarket or in the apartments above was injured. Here firefighters work to douse the fire several hours after it started. This image was made using my Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 lens at a focal length of 102mm, aperture of f/3.2, exposure of 1/8000th of second, and ISO 100.

Photo of the Week 11/8/10

A few days ago on the way out of the city, I stopped to take a few quick pictures of the Verrazano Bridge at sunset. This image was made using my Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 lens at a focal length of 22mm, an aperture of f/8.0, exposure of 1/30th of a second, and ISO 100.

Photo of the Week 11/1/10

I have been experimenting with some of the new painting tools in Photoshop CS5 and thought I'd feature this painted image as my photo of the week. I'm not completely sure what to think of this sort of treatment yet but I do like the way this photo, if you can still call it that, turned out.
