Kevin posed for me on Christmas as I was trying out my new 28" Westcott Apollo softbox. There are four pictures from the series up on Flickr, I included two here. In the first one, above, I tried something new with the cropping. I used a square aspect ratio, and put Kevin's right [...]
I tried out a Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM lens from borrowlenses.com. It's a beautiful lens, but a bit big and heavy for what I need. This was shot at f/2.8 zoomed to 70mm. My Speedlight is low on a light stand to the right with a warming gel on it. Shane, now [...]

Eric and I went to the Marin Car Show on Sunday. I used it as an opportunity to challenge myself with a photo assignment. i decided to only shoot with my 100mm Macro at f2.8, and to only shoot people. Plus, since it was a car show with shiny parts, everything had to be shot [...]
My friend, Dane, shot from the hip at my sister's ranch. Some quick notes on the image processing. He's a black dog shot on a bright overcast day, so he's almost gone in the original image. Luckily I shoot RAW so there was plenty of latitude for processing in Lightroom. After [...]
SF Bay baylands, shot from a Southwest Airlines flight after having just taken off from San Jose. I'm a sucker for the colors and patterns. More about the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Environmental Education Center.
