And one more Senior...

I had a great time again today shooting Azariah, a recent high school senior. We did mostly inside shots since it was so blazing hot outside. I think the 'heat index' for the whole weekend is supposed to be over 100, and around 103 or so. Not cool. Not cool at all. Stepping outside the protective bubble of air conditioning, one is promptly engulfed in flames. Spontaneous combustion.

OK, I'm exaggerating. But only a little bit- that's the messed up part. So we didn't get to spend as much time outside as I would have liked, but we still got some nice shots.

We still had fun and made the best of it. But we did have one casualty...A poor helpless umbrella that was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He never stood a chance against that light southern breeze. It'll be OK though. It's just a little bent.

It's late now, and I'm tired and sleepy. So I leave you with a few images from today.
Congratulations on your graduation, Azariah.


Look, I'm actually posting somewhat regularly now. I knew I could do it!

Congratulations, Ismael and Diane!

Well the big day finally came. The wedding that we've been anticipating for the last 6+ months. It was tons of fun and everything was really nice. Everyone had a great time, too. Although I was a bit tired afterward, I'm surprised I'm not sore like I usually am after a wedding. Especially after carrying the gripped 5D and the 70-200 2.8L IS all day. Maybe I'm getting in better shape, maybe it was the Power Bar's that I snacked on through the day, who knows...

I had a great second shooter, too. His name is Viet, and he likes to shoot with Canon L Prime lenses. Mainly the 135 f2L, and the 35 f1.4L, both really sweet lenses. The image quality from those lenses is breathtaking. Photos so sharp they make your eyes bleed. Bokeh so creamy and smooth it hypnotizes you into a dizzying trance. He was a tremendous help during this shoot, and he also got some really great shots.

Here is a sneak peek of things to come. Adobe Lightroom is my friend...

I really enjoyed this wedding. The whole family was easy to work with and great to photograph.

Until next post,
