This is a Newborn session I did with one of my favorite clients.  This is her precocious bundle of Joy.

What was so cool was she slept through the entire shoot.  There were some thing I had to do to ensure she slept.  1st was no A/C.  So it was hot in the studio.  Second I used a blow drier to heat up everything she laid on so she would be comfortable.  

I think we got some really good shots.

Camera: Nikon D700

This session I call the Tattooed Woman.  This young lady wanted me to photography one of her tattoos and I thought lets shoot them all.

So this is the result of what we got.  She was fun to work with and a good sport.  

I really like working with the smoke I have learned how to get it to lay and move across the floor.  So we got some really cool shots.

Enjoy!!

 

Lighting Storm Nassau Bahamas

I decided one night that I would got take some photos of the lighting storm.  So I went out to a location behind Fish Fry in Nassau, Bahamas.  I wanted to give my hand a go at long exposures to see what and if i could capture some great shots.

The location I was at put me in an area where I was by myself with no one around.  There was an occasional security officer roving around on a golf cart.  So I set up my gear and started shooting.  I started with 30 second exposures.  I do love the results of the shots.

So while I was doing my thing, this van approaches very slow and I started to freak, so I moved by my truck and acted like I was pulling out a shotgun to maybe scare the people away.  The van parked about 200-300 feet away and 2 men got out and was walking around the van.  I keep my eye on them so if the moved closer I could throw my camera in my truck and leave. Well the never approached and stayed for about 15-20 mins.  



After 5-10 minutes after the guys in the van left a boat pulled up moving really slow and close to the wall.  Ok so I really freaked.  I made sure to keep my truck between the guy in the boat and me, just incase he wanted to shoot at me or something.  Well he went closer to land and then disappeared.  I thought OK, time to go.  So I packed up my gear and started to leave, and lo and behold the van showed back up and I saw the boat again.  When I saw that I got out of there really quick and stopped by fish fry to blend in with the crowd just in case the were following me.

That scared the S@#t out of me.

But anyway enjoy the photos, I shot on ISO 200 F/8 bulb 30 seconds.  Nikon D700 on a tripod.
