Photo of the Week 4/18/11

This past Wednesday, yes on a Wednesday, I photographed the wedding of Bobby and Lindsey on the south shore of Long Island. The day after the bride and groom got dressed up again and we took some photos in New York City. As the couple, lives in Wisconsin, I had the idea for this unusual picture and being good sports, and all-around great people, they indulged me. I do not often use selective color but for this image it seemed appropriate. I made this image using my Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lens at an aperture of f/2.8 and exposure of 1/200th of a second at ISO 400.

Photo of the Week 2/28/11

This past week I had the opportunity to photograph the 2011 Junior Olympics Ski Jumping in Salisbury, Connecticut. It is pretty amazing to see this up close and even more so when you are watching kids who are not old enough to drive flying through the air. I captured this image with my 14-24mm f/2.8 lens at a focal length of 15mm, aperture of f/6.3, exposure of 1/1600th of a second, and ISO 400.

Photo of the Week 2/21/11

This week's photo of the week comes from the Alison and Joe's wedding which I photographed this past weekend. Alison and Joe are a fun easy going couple which I have had the pleasure of getting to know over the last year. This worked out well as we wanted to take a few formals outside and the 40 degree weather and 40 mph wind did not make it easy. Still there were a few moments such as this one where the weather really didn't seem to matter. More pictures from Alison and Joe's wedding will be coming soon.

Photo of the Week 2/7/10

I spent this past weekend in Lake Tahoe, California on a ski trip with some friends. I caught this candid image of one member of the group and the son of two of the others in the morning. I particularly like the lighting in this image and the way it authentically captures a very brief moment in time. This image was made using my Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lens at an aperture of f/2.8 and exposure of 1/16oth of a second at ISO 200.
