I shot a wedding this past Valentine’s day and it turned out to be the type that wedding photographers dream of: Pretty bride at a beautiful location. The picture above is probably my favorite shot. See the gallery below for a few more shots including an infrared shot and a couple of lensbaby shots.
I just got back from the WPPI show in Vegas and I’m still a little dazed. I don’t have any pictures of the show, because I learned long ago not to bring anything heavy to conventions. A colleague of mine, Elizabeth Etienne was speaking at the convention and had a booth there. She was nice enough to let me bum in her hotel room, so in return I helped her carry some stuff around. In between helping her, I got to wander around quite a bit and saw some cool stuff, well cool to wedding photographers anyway. What really surprised me was I bumped into a couple of photographers I knew and I never bump into anybody. I’m not anywhere near to being an established photographer, but I guess I’ve been around long enough to bump in colleagues at a convention.
Back to the show…. I saw quite a few things that gave me ideas for my business and actually bought a few items, one of which I’ll probably review later on. The coolest thing though is what Pocket Wizard came out with. If you’re a photographer who uses Nikon’s iTTL or Canon’s ETTL, you need to check out this link: http://www.pocketwizard.com/inspirations/technology/controltl/
I recently bought a Lensbaby Composer to use at a wedding (I’ll post some pictures later when I’m done with them) and my short review is this: If you’ve ever been interested in a Lensbaby, the Composer is the one buy.
