Here's some sleddin pics of good ol' Bronwie

Alli's Wedding

Alison got married on the 27th of December. I had a blast taking random pictures. I enjoyed watching Alison's hired photographer place people and take pictures. She was really nice and did a really good job. She shared camera settings random tips. I've promised myself that photography is strictly hobby - I can't imagine taking pics at a wedding - lot of pressure.

I did some postprocessing with photoshop and had some fun with some pics...

Man, I'm the luckiest guy in the world! How did I get the prettiest wife ever? She sure makes photography easy...

It's so fun to have a father that is a pilot. Pappa offered to take Mase flying for his birthday and I had to get in on the fun. Although I fired off about 250 photos here are some favorites. The others can be viewed on my picasa photo gallery. http://picasaweb.google.com/motownbuck

I also made a signature for my photos that I'm pretty proud of.

Low Aperature and Sharpening Skills

Shutter Speed

I'm reading a great book called "Understanding Shutter Speed" by Bryan Peterson. I've really come to appreciate the art of "slowing down". Most photographers focus on razor-sharp images of action filled subjects, which I think is cool. However, slowing down a little bit can really make a capture unique and express motion like no other. This was shot at 1/5s at 800iso. Love this pic.

Experimenting w/ B&W

I know some people may look at this picture and think "Cool, a wood railing." Kind of fun to think outside the box sometimes though...

My Boys!

Here's my first attempt at portraits. The boys were very cooperative even though it was kind of chilly. Thanks for some photoshop tips from a friend - they turned out pretty good. Mo was very happy with them - that's all that matters, right? A little side note. Max took the most photoshop work. He's probably more like me - chocolate on cheak, something in teeth, on shirt, boogies, etc... but thanks to Photoshop you'd never know :)
