Mayra & Anibal - *Sneak Peek*
Well I just got back from Bryan, Texas, where I shot the wedding of two very close friends, Anibal and Mayra.
All I can post at the moment is a sneak peek, because it's 2:52 A.M. and I've been on my feet since 7 .A.M. after only 4 hours of sleep last night. Saying I'm tired is a small understatement. Just a smidge.
It was such a fun day and a really beautiful wedding. It flew by just like I knew it would. So here's one shot I liked from the night. Many do not approve of the lens flare effect, (J.J. Abrams certainly is not in that crowd- just watch 5 minutes of Star Trek) but I think it can be used in good taste as long as it's not over done.
I feel this shot has a touch of intriguing mystery to it because the flare hides the faces a bit, so it leaves the rest of the wedding to the imagination but gives a hint of great things to come. Stay tuned, I hope to post more within the coming week, but it might be longer. We'll see. There's a fluffy pillow and a warm bed with my name on it.

Video in the blog!
While culling and processing the photos from Dany and Leslie's Wedding I realized something. At some parts of the shoot, it almost looks like a stop-motion movie if you flip through them fast enough.
While I don't employ the "Spray-and-Pray" method of shooting, I do take several shots of one setting with different looks. What's "Spray-and-Pray" you ask? In the world of Photography, it's usually a derogatory term used to describe a method some use in which you take an obscene amount of continuous photos hoping (praying) one will turn out nicely, as opposed to carefully framing each shot for light, posing, exposure and so on. However this method is usually the best method in the sports world where waiting on one perfect shot is not practical.
Back to my story- Flipping quickly through these photos gives the effect of semi-fluid motion not unlike old Gumby episodes.
This is the first time I've tried making a slide show of a photo shoot, and I kinda like it. The video program I used degraded the image quality pretty harshly, but I think it still looks OK.
The video is encoded in HD, so if you have a fast connection and a decent computer, select the "720p" option at the bottom of the video. It's about 8-and-a-half minutes, so check it out. If you're reading this on Facebook, click THIS LINK and check the blog. And as usual, leave me some blog-lovin' comments at the bottom of the post.
