How refreshing. You know, to get a break from the family portraits where everyone is wearing white tops and khakis. I mean there's nothing really wrong with that. But cameras are so good at capturing color. I like color. That's all I'm gonna say about that. So, factor in color, and a family that just has a great time together and here is what you get.<br />

As much as photography is about composition, lighting, technique, all of that is for naught if you don't have a beautiful subject to photograph. That's one of the reasons that I enjoy family portraits. What's more worthy of capturing than a beautiful family and all that the institution of family represents; love, commitment, joy, struggle, victory, love (I meant to do that). So with that in mind here are my long time friends and please contact me for booking your next family photos.<br />

I am a Floridian, a cracker. Many people don't know that the term "cracker" came from the crack of the whip of the early Florida cowboys. Many people don't know that there are cowboys (and cowgirls) in Florida, or that Florida is always 1 or 2 in cattle production in the country, or that the largest cattle ranch in the country is in Florida, or that there is great hunting in Florida, or for that matter that there are animals in Florida other than a certain mouse that seems to be so popular. A little bitter? Maybe. Oh wait this is a photography blog.<br />

So I have been to places in the country and outside the country that are beautiful. Purple mountains, flowing rivers, you get the point. But there is a rugged beauty to Florida once you get away from beaches and talking rodents. Our friends lived on this beautiful property in Melbourne.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Wow it's been a long time since posting. Life has been . . . well . . . interesting. So, now 4 1/2 months into being laid off I am trying to catch up on the photography that I've been doing. This was a great session with a great family. They had family in town and it was great to capture the generations.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We started working inside the house. I looked around and was drawn to the light in the kitchen. The sun was high and it was pouring soft light in through the windows in the dining room to the right and from the sliders leading to the porch to the left. I had them turn on the recessed lighting and hanging lights. Then I added 2 strobes. One for key light on the subjects and one to fill in some dark areas behind and to the left. This was definitely an exercise in balancing flash and ambient light. I love the pose above leaning on the kitchen counters. </span></div>

My gear for this was one strobe in a softbox on a boom stand with a sandbag for balance. I used it for a key light above balanced with backlight provided by the Lord. This softbox has become my goto modifier outdoors primarily because it handles the wind much better than an umbrella.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;"><img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/Children/Senior-Portraits/Savannah/i-wnhVg9N/0/XL/IMG_6054-XL.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">I didn't always use it.

Recently got a Christmas card from friends/clients. It included the above photo. In large lettering, "Happy Everything". Man does that fit. They are so fun and easy to work with. <br />
<br />
So we took these with combinations of natural light filtered through bed sheets to the left, bare strobes into the ceiling, bare strobes directly aimed at the subject, and my new favorite light modifier, the small softbox that I use with my battery strobes.<br />
<br />
Here is an example of the natural light from the window to the left. The sun was hitting it directly so we hung bed sheets to diffuse it. I also bounced a strobe into the white ceiling to the right. <br />

The tough thing about this one is just deciding which photos to post. So here are a bunch of them. Some black and white, some color. Some use strobes some are just natural evening light on the beach. We enjoy a visit with these special people. <br />

Especially for this little girl. There is a long wonderful story about this one that would be great to share. But I'll let you ask her Mommy and Daddy about it. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So a year ago she looked something (actually she looked exactly) like this.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/Family/Click-Baby/24823806_22DWxn#%21i=2031847962&k=vLpnq3B" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img id="lightBoxImage" src="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/Family/Click-Baby/i-vLpnq3B/1/S/IMG_5951-S.jpg" style="height: 267px; width: 400px;" /></a><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And now, a mere 12 months later . . . </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><a href="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/Children/MadisonOneYearAug2013/31109590_NhkNLp#%21i=2691206274&k=Ld9HP9n"><img id="lightBoxImage" src="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/Children/MadisonOneYearAug2013/i-Ld9HP9n/1/XL/IMG_1215-XL.jpg" style="height: 768px; width: 512px;" /></a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I have to admit that Mommy had all of the good ideas on these. I only had to capture it. I love the mirror. I took a little thinking to decide where lights should be placed but we did it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/Children/MadisonOneYearAug2013/31109590_NhkNLp#%21i=2691207040&k=S37RWhZ"><img id="lightBoxImage" src="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/Children/MadisonOneYearAug2013/i-S37RWhZ/1/S/IMG_1234-S.jpg" style="height: 267px; width: 400px;" /></a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<br /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The pew bench is a great prop (out of our living room). The decorations . . . all Mommy. Although I think those ladybug wings are ours. I
still only have a cross-light pattern here. A strobe light with an
umbrella for key and a bare strobe for accent. But they had to be
placed strategically when working with the mirror. And we had to work
hard to keep everyone and the equipment out of the shot.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Spent some time with my buddy Bryan Boliver and his wife. He is a singer/songwriter and we took some photos to feed his websites for a while. We used a few different lighting styles.</span><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;"> In the lead photo above you see side lighting with bare strobes. Very harsh shadows. I love the technique. Gives a good edge to the photo.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Here are some more.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Then we took some ambient light stuff as well since the sun was setting. Placed the sun behind him and exposed for his face and let the background blow out.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Also used an umbrella for key light with an accent light behind and opposite the key light for a more classic look.</span><br />

I'm certainly not a landscape photographer but this location was very inspiring. Funny thinking back to what I thought I would do as a photographer when I first began. I imagined National Geographic or something. But as it turns out I have never been able to capture the landscapes that I envision. Maybe just need some more practice.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I was inspired by the weather. It had rained most of the time since we arrived. So it was overcast and damp. I brought my tripod with me to get some pictures of us as a family but then it struck me that there was moving water (I know I'm really quick on my feet). I knew that it would be possible to get some blurred water shots using a slow shutter speed and my tripod. I shot multiples of these at different shutter speeds so that I could choose the level of blur that suited me best. It's necessary to have a very stable tripod so that the still objects in the frame are tack sharp. I used manual focus and the live view setting (just like your point and shoot cameras) so that I can zoom in 10x to the area that I want to focus on. I stopped way down on these. Anywhere from f8 to f22. This allows for a slower shutter speed but also gets the lens out of its soft spots when it is nearly wide open.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiul2V7vpirHPzFXyXdolV_acOrl2ExaQFuMepS22Z8z6d6N0eUYAGFbspb2GZTHIC5zNwlUBm80ZJ-zfKK_PQbUkE-ur9k6sJ9SA950F9m0b7kIb6YyuTcdU8-xXPIqHBcOrxwhGwzMd8/s2048/Photo%252520Jun%2525203%25252C%2525202013%25252C%25252010%25253A18%252520AM.jpg" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><img id="blogsy-1370389580799.1614" class="alignnone" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiul2V7vpirHPzFXyXdolV_acOrl2ExaQFuMepS22Z8z6d6N0eUYAGFbspb2GZTHIC5zNwlUBm80ZJ-zfKK_PQbUkE-ur9k6sJ9SA950F9m0b7kIb6YyuTcdU8-xXPIqHBcOrxwhGwzMd8/s500/Photo%252520Jun%2525203%25252C%2525202013%25252C%25252010%25253A18%252520AM.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoiDqLXSh-Oub6iP6iS1rNh9ZMPBv127QoqZC-8tmxt22hBhN0AH-CwghtPYToxMmldpsMS4JuDowD89x7z0Hu1UFh2C95x0hzeNCBPJrkoS_94dmti3yQXo3x9AC0ZgYB90pAjCXeHJM/s2048/Photo%252520Jun%2525203%25252C%2525202013%25252C%25252010%25253A20%252520AM.jpg" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><img id="blogsy-1370389580770.275" class="alignnone" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoiDqLXSh-Oub6iP6iS1rNh9ZMPBv127QoqZC-8tmxt22hBhN0AH-CwghtPYToxMmldpsMS4JuDowD89x7z0Hu1UFh2C95x0hzeNCBPJrkoS_94dmti3yQXo3x9AC0ZgYB90pAjCXeHJM/s500/Photo%252520Jun%2525203%25252C%2525202013%25252C%25252010%25253A20%252520AM.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></span></a></div><p><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I took some of the falls themselves as you see at the top but I was more interested in the details in the creek.

An amazing couple with amazing friends, an amazing wedding, filled with joy and sharing of their faith with others. There is plenty of technical stuff to share about photography. How you can get sharp photos. How you can use ambient light in different ways with and without supplementing with flashes to create a mood. There is something over which the photographer has no control and that is the personality of his/her subjects. My friend and photographer that works with me on weddings, Mark Morgan of http://www.mmorganphotography.net/, commented that the personalities of these two come through in the photos. I think you'll agree.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">I worked with the Bride and Bridesmaids as they prepared. A funny bunch. And very kind to the photographer (coffee, creampuffs).</span></p><p><a href="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/Weddings/Chris-And-Deena/Favorites/28926187_r3pFBg#%21i=2466342128&k=bw2T5jt"><img id="lightBoxImage" src="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/photos/i-bw2T5jt/0/XL/i-bw2T5jt-XL.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p><p><a href="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/Weddings/Chris-And-Deena/Favorites/28926187_r3pFBg#%21i=2466332642&k=9TMHzPz"><img id="lightBoxImage" src="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/photos/i-9TMHzPz/0/XL/i-9TMHzPz-XL.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="266" /></a></p><p style="padding-left: 240px;"><a href="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/Weddings/Chris-And-Deena/Favorites/28926187_r3pFBg#%21i=2466343924&k=QcFVKFZ"><img id="lightBoxImage" src="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/photos/i-QcFVKFZ/0/XL/i-QcFVKFZ-XL.jpg" alt="" width="248" height="372" /></a></p><p><a href="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/Weddings/Chris-And-Deena/Favorites/28926187_r3pFBg#%21i=2466323921&k=GBLKjSC"><img id="lightBoxImage" src="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/photos/i-GBLKjSC/0/XL/i-GBLKjSC-XL.jpg" alt="" width="248" height="373" /></a></p><p><a href="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/Weddings/Chris-And-Deena/Favorites/28926187_r3pFBg#%21i=2466327450&k=zPPHwf9"><img id="lightBoxImage" src="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/photos/i-zPPHwf9/0/XL/i-zPPHwf9-XL.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p><p><a href="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/Weddings/Chris-And-Deena/Favorites/28926187_r3pFBg#%21i=2466349525&k=q8vj2bB"><img id="lightBoxImage" src="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/photos/i-q8vj2bB/0/XL/i-q8vj2bB-XL.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p><p><a href="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/Weddings/Chris-And-Deena/Favorites/28926187_r3pFBg#%21i=2466347806&k=shjbPqk"><img id="lightBoxImage" src="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/photos/i-shjbPqk/0/XL/i-shjbPqk-XL.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="750" /></a></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">They did something cool that we haven't seen before. They had their first look at each other before getting to the church. At the hotel where the girls were preparing. A great idea.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">On a technical note. The value of having two photographers. The sequence that you see below is really cool. We are shooting from different angles covering both bride and groom. During post-processing we sync up our photos so that you get a chronological sequence of the shots from both of our cameras. The third shot below was taken by Mark. And captures the instant that he sees her. One photographer would not have been able to capture this. </span></p><p><a href="http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/Weddings/Chris-And-Deena/Favorites/28926187_r3pFBg#%21i=2466351195&k=BWMJKPb"><img

You may not care about them at all. But for me, there is something about them. I suppose there is the historical side. Movies maybe. But seeing them in person. I should say experiencing them in person. They seem to have a life about them. A piece of cold iron that when you put fire in its belly it starts to come to life. Steam escaping from relief valves. Breathing. In person you feel the percussion of the pistons as they start to turn the wheels.

Especially when the wind is blowing. When I got up on this morning to go to our session I thought "Wow, it is really cold out, I didn't consider this." But these guys are troopers. And we did it. And no one froze. Well maybe except the little guy below. The idea was to get family portraits for Christmas but also then get him by himself for his birthday. So he had to do a shirt change. Poor little guy was shivering. Daddy started talking about warm hot chocolate and that seemed to help.

Let's see. We had to postpone this session a few weeks ago because of 30 mph onshore winds. So this time Hurricane Sandy has just passed us. I picked the location because it is generally not busy. So I arrived early to scope the area only to find that Sandy had caused severe erosion. There was almost no beach. There was maybe 3 feet of sand in front of some of the dunes before the drop off. And oh yeah there was a huge wedding, and oh yeah another photographer was with a client. Not ideal but we worked with it.

Most cameras set to automatic will try to meter this down to get details in the bright sky. And that will put the subject into almost complete silhouette. That's a cool look if that is what you are going for. If not, you have to do a little work to get details in the subject. </font><br/><br/><font face='Georgia' class='Apple-style-span'>If you have exposure compensation you can dial in some positive number. This acts like an offset. Whatever your meter thinks is the correct exposure, this positive number will be added to it. For instance, here I dialed in +2/3 or +1 depending on how much sun I had in the frame.</font><br/><br/><font face='Georgia' class='Apple-style-span'>If you have exposure lock on your camera you can point your camera toward something that you want to meter on, press and hold the exposure lock button, recompose the photo and press the shutter release. I used that technique here as well. I have not settled on my favorite way yet. In this case, I would point at the shadow in front of the subject or maybe his dark jeans, hold the auto exposure (AE) lock button, recompose and shoot.</font><br/><br/><font face='Georgia' class='Apple-style-span'><br/></font><br/><br/><div style='clear: both; text-align: none;' class='separator'><a style='' target='_blank' href='http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4584369450372&set=a.4584207166315.2186744.1326079974&type=1'><font face='Georgia' class='Apple-style-span'><img width='500' height='750' alt='' class='alignnone' id='blogsy-1345398409910.7761' src='https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/526322_4584369450372_593915046_n.jpg'/></font></a></div><div style='clear: both; text-align: none;' class='separator'> </div><div style='clear: both; text-align: none;' class='separator'><font face='Georgia' class='Apple-style-span'><a style='' target='_blank' href='http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4584371130414&set=a.4584207166315.2186744.1326079974&type=1'><img width='500' height='750' alt='' class='alignnone' id='blogsy-1345398409963.811' src='https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/523101_4584371130414_742010729_n.jpg'/></a></font></div><div style='clear: both; text-align: none;' class='separator'><font face='Georgia' class='Apple-style-span'><br/></font></div> <font face='Georgia' class='Apple-style-span'>Maybe these are my favorites.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia;">Doing photography for others has it's own challenges and thereby inspires creativity. However, the busyness of life sometimes drowns the inspiration to photograph the amazing things that surround me everyday. Today, I got to go to my children's swimming lessons. My children are perfect (to me), the lighting was perfect . . . Inspiration.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia;">It seems like once I realize that the light is good I get into a zone. I recall reading an article about a famous photographer. A junior photographer had a chance to tag along with him one day. Some advice that he gave was that photographers spend too much time concentrating on the subject and not enough on the light. His approach was that once you have great lighting, put a subject in it. Everything looks better when it is lit well. So true! I encourage all of you aspiring photographers to learn as much as you can about light.</span><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia;">Here you have all of the reflective surfaces of a pool combining for wonderful flat light.</span><br />

<br />
Here you have the sun behind the subject creating beautiful rim lighting.<br />

My 8 year old son and I were on a mission for ice cream. As we made our way through the crowd, I noticed something . . . something interesting . . . something strange . . . something quite funny! A whole family asleep on a bench. We stopped in our tracks. Time seemed to stand still. I immediately went for my camera in the Black Rapid R-Strap hanging on my right side, drew it to my face with haste and SNAP! I actually took more than one shot of them. Then 2 guys behind us started laughing. They asked "Do you even know those people?" "Nope", I replied. Which caused them to laugh even harder. <br/><br/>This was the beginning of a photo theme for my day. One might think that this family would be the only people sleeping in Epcot. One would be wrong. So just like you when you get a new car and you start to notice all of the other same cars on the road. We began to spot the sleepers. And I proceeded to photograph those dozers. I guess the happiest place on earth wore them out.<br/><br/><div id='lightBoxPhoto' style='display: block;'><a href='http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/Other/BlogStorage/24030076_s3q9sx#%21i=1950919887&k=zPqWwmm'><img width='500' height='334' id='lightBoxImage' src='http://pb-photo.smugmug.com/photos/i-zPqWwmm/0/XL/i-zPqWwmm-XL.jpg'/></a></div><br/>I love this one.

We had such a nice time. The weather was beautiful. The children are adorable. Photographically, it can't get much better.<br />

Got to photograph Scout Dens this past weekend. It was a great time.<br />
<br />
Started shooting at 400p as the sun started moving behind a tree line to create a nice shady spot where I could control the lighting. I am using two strobes. One through an umbrella as the key and a bare one for accent. You can see the bare strobe creating a nice edge from the left of the frame.<br />
<br />
I balanced this with the ambient almost 1:1. I may have let the ambient drop 1/3 stop at times.<br />
<br />
I thought it would be fun to let the kids be, well kids. So I took individuals using the umbrella from the front and left for key and the bare strobe from the back right as accent.<br />
<br />

<br />
Then a group shot. These are ambient light only.<br />

</div>
<br />
And then I set up for the fun shot. I had visualized this a week or two before. I wanted something to raise the boys so that I could get this composition. I considered hay bales, picnic benches, and others but here is a loading dock type of thing. Perfect.<br />

I set the leader in position (you know, arms crossed, showing what a great leader they are) and then walked back to the kiddos and told them that when I say "alright, look at me", go crazy. I gave them ideas: fingers in noses, tongues sticking out, etc. Turns out I didn't need to give them ideas. This is just how they are. :) I should know because one of my sons is included here. <br />
