10/27/07 - More Portraits from World's End

10/26/07 - Portraits @ World's End

Recently, I had the opportunity for a photo shoot at World's End in Hingham. We were hoping for some nice autumn color, but due to the lack of recent rain, the leaves were still mostly green. However, we still got some nice shots that I hope the client will be pleased with.

10/24/07 - Lighting Opps. in Nature

As many photographers know, Mom Nature will sometimes present opportunities that, unless you take advantage, you may never see again. Such was the case this past weekend. The first clue was when, while talking to my wife on my cell, she informed me that it was dark and overcast in Marshfield. Meanwhile, one town over, I was experiencing a bright and clear day.

As I continued to drive towards Marshfield, I observed the cause. I quickly pulled into the Driftway in Scituate, and captured the moment.





The cloud cover above and the sun lighting the grass from the right makes this a dramatic image that would have been tough to capture otherwise

10/23/07 - Fall at Daniel Webster Sanctuary

Here in New England, the fall foliage has been a bit disappointing due to the exceptionally dry few months we have had. However, I was able to track down some color at the Daniel Webster Sanctuary this past weekend.

10/11/07 - A Better Black and White

I found some great tips in John Beardsworth's "Advanced Digital Black & White Photography". I strongly recommend it for any serious photographer wishing to produce high-quality B&W's. The most significant "take-away" for me was the ability to make better use of color channels to illustrate seperation of color in a purely grey-tone image.

Compare the above image to it's color version in my previous post http://sdrimages.blogspot.com/2007/10/10807-fall-portrait.html

An overcast fall day is an opportunity to introduce some colorful background to your portraits

10/6/07: A Week in the Whites

This years family vacation was a week in the White Mountains of NH. Any time of year, the Whites provide ideal photo opportunities. Granted these images were from a few months ago. But, since I didn't have a photojournal at the time...

We spent much of the 90 degree days floating down the Saco River

10/2/07: More Can-Mass Challenge

I couldn't help stopping to photograph the rustic country architecture






The openess of the landscape is breathtaking

10/1/07: Beach Portraits

I am currently finishing up the post-processing work for a family photo shoot I did at Rexhame Beach. Unfortunately, I missed-judged the sun and we started a little earlier than I would have liked. Therefore, the light was a bit too harsh down by the water. By the time that nice golden glow was starting to show, the kids were showing signs of becoming cranky (they had already been at it for an hour and I'm sure they were dealing with the effects of the first week of school). However, we did manage to get some keepers up by the dunes.
