Photo of the Week 8/01/11

This past weekend I photographed Dawn and Adam's wedding at the Riviera at Massapequa. It was a really great day with some exceptional light. I caught a lot of great moments and had a hard time choosing a single image for the photo of the week. I decided on this one of The Silk Band from Time Machine Entertainment. This was a great band who really put everything into their performance. I made this image with my Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 lens at an aperture of f/4.0 and shutter speed of 1/15th of a second at ISO 400. I used my Nikon SB900 flash set on a light stand on a balcony above the dance floor and triggered with Pocket Wizards to provide additional directional light for this image.

Photo of the Week 1/11/10

This a shot I took for Washington, DC-based musician, Justin Trawick. This shot was actually Justin's idea and the background dancers were a group of teenagers we recruited on the spot. Justin is also the the artist you hear on my website and his birthday falls on this month so I figured he had earned a spot on the photo of the week. That and of course I really like this image.

I captured this image using a tripod and my Nikkor 50mm f1.4 lens at f16.0 and 1/15th of a second at ISO100.
