Digital Creations

Hello Everybody,

Here are 2 more digital creations that I've been working on today.  The props were created in house and then combined with little Jonathan to create this image.  I hope you like them.

Playing with Composites

These images were created using some creative photoshop techniques.  Hopefully, I'll be offering these as some children specials soon.

The end result:

Just a couple of portraits taken at the APC in Lewisville. It 's always a great time visiting with John and Judy along with the children.

This was a 2 light set up using a reflector. The space was kind of tight so I kept the lighting very simple.

This is a test of uploading movies to my blog

Playing With LIttle Patriots

These Portraits were done using two lights. One main light, an accent light and one reflector.. Since the children had fair hair I had to be careful not to use too much accent lighting or it would blow the highlights out of there hair. The kids had fun and I had a blast playing with them. I hope you like the portraits.

Rebeca Senior Session

Here are a few samples from a recent portrait session. Some of these were done at Stone Creek in Flower Mound. Some were done inside using 3 lights and a reflector.

Here a few from outdoors. I was using an SB-800 turned way down to ad a little fill light.

Looking For Thomas

1. 

Note: The blue background picture, #1, was actually done on purpose. There was enough of an amber gel used on Jonathan so that he would not be blue like the background is.

This was an afternoon on the railroad tracks in Highland Village, TX. Jonathan was busy looking for Thomas and I was busy trying to take good portraits of a fast moving 2 year old.

It was a lot of fun, but also had some technical challenges. One of them was trying to deal with the setting sun in the west. With a fast moving subject I opted to use a Nikon SB-800 set at about -2 to sometimes -3 ev. I had to stay at or below 1/500 shutter speed in order for the light to synch. If I was opting for a shallower depth of field I shut the flash off and used only natural light trying to be careful of not allowing the horizon enter into the picture too much since Jonathan was backlit. If I didn't watch that the background would have been bright white which I felt would be distracting.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.
