I went out yesterday morning as we had a beautiful red sky and I wanted to take it all in. The garden has been looking particularly delicious with all the rain we had, and the morning light was pretty incredible, so I decided to take a few shots. I love the different cool and warm shades of green together. Throw in a little yellow and it makes it perfect. Off to a wedding, now :)

Jack was a good boy today, patiently posing for me as I fine tuned some new equipment. I think he was bored.

Jack, I promise that tomorrow we will go to the river and play with a stick.

I haven’t been to Ocracoke for almost two years now and I miss it so much. I wish I could sit out on the beach on a warm winter day like today and just clear my head.

Going through some old images that I overlooked. I always liked this image but never really paid it much attention. It’s a group of Hmong women near the village of Sapa in north Vietnam. They love color and so do I.  Today is its day.

I like this composition. That’s all that matters.

There’s lots of ways you could crop this image. I liked this way best. It says a lot about how I feel about winter.

I was working this morning and looked out the window to see a Great Blue Heron sitting on top of my neighbors roof. By the time I had grabbed my camera and put on a long lens, the heron was ready to hit the skies. So I was just able to fire off a few shots before it quickly moved out of sight.

I am constantly amazed at my cameras’ technical abilities. I invest a lot of money trying to provide my clients with the very best equipment because of the challenging situations we often find ourselves in when shooting wedding photography. It definitely pays off, and they appreciate it. This shot was taken from inside my house, through a low-e glass window that hasn’t been washed in years (I can’t believe I am admitting that publicly!), through a screen, at 100 yards from the subject on an overcast day, handheld.

Try that with your Canon Rebel, Uncle Bob.
