Trying for that 1950′s feel shot to match the models outfit & makeup … apart from the stud

Grandma & Grandaughter

Sometimes you need to forget the Studio Lighting & the posed shots. Instead it’s good just to capture hte moment. Here we have my daughter playing with Grandma.

Dog Portraits

Having a Boxer & a Minature Schnauzer, means I always have eager subjects to photograph …. well if I give them some food treats 1st anyway. Here is Sydney Schnauzer looking up towards a piece of cheese

& here are some more Dog portraits for your perusal

Birthday Portraits

Although it was my Nieces Birthday, it didn’t take long for my daughter to take over the cake blowing duty ! Shot using available daylight from the window

High Key Portrait by Window Light

Dave — Sat, 21 Apr 2007 09:15:35 +0000

Using just window light & some processing in Photoshop I was able to capture this image of my daughter. Natural light creates a more flattering image than using direct flash.

Now if only I could get her to pose like this again ;(

RIATs in Monochrome

Dave — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 13:52:04 +0000

This was my first time at Fairfords airshow (RIATs).

I felt some what inadequate with my 70-200mm lens, vs the huge telephoto lenses others photographers were using !!!

Yet I still managed to capture some of the following shots.

Here we have the Red Arrows doing the “champagne split” move.

Some more from the day can be seen in the 3rd row of images here
