My recent works

Here are 3 images I've made recently.

This first image was taken at Buckroe Beach for thedaythat.com. The image was made with a Canon 7D and Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens. I also used a Singh Ray 3 Stop Reverse Graduated Neutral Density filter. (ISO100, f11, 5 seconds)

This second image is of Lisa. She is the current Miss Teen Williamsburg. This image was made with a Canon 5D Mark II and the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS. ((ISO160, f/7.1, 1/125) I placed a bare bulb strobe to camera left. I converted the image to black and white and then added warm tones to it in Lightroom 2.





This last image is of a hall way in the Richmond Convention Center. I was there last week to see Ben Willmore for a Photoshop Seminar sponsored by NAPP.

Two Color or Not to Color

These were taken off of Colonial Parkway

Snake or Eggs

I noticed what appeared to be a skeleton of a snake on the beach. I took a few shots of it as the anchor of my composition. I even named it "The Serpent has been Defeated" Several people then tell me that it's a whelk egg case. I had to google it to find out what that was. Nevertheless, it still makes for an interesting image.

Oil of Olay

Here's a head shot of Jenni. I back lit her with a softbox and lit her from the front with a beauty dish above her.

Wildlife with the 7D and 400mm f/2.8 IS L 1.4xTC

I decided to take the 7D for a test drive today. I shot some wildlife at Newport News Park to see how fast and accurate the autofocusing system is and I was not disappointed.
