portraits

We were at a Christmas concert and they had this photo booth set up so of course, we had to take a few A6000 and 18-135mm

So, this isn’t another typical which focal length is better for portrait work. That discussion has been beaten to death, resurrected, and beaten to death. In the Fuji lineup I’ve been able to shoot great portraits with nearly every lens they make Recently, in an effort to simplify down my kit...

My oldest has been developing her "eye." Three shots that show how how she evolved this shot. All with my RX100M3 at RI Comic Con. And yes, for the record, the person holding the Death Star plans usually doesn't survive the end of the film. 😁

Did a very quick photo shoot with the little goul before heading out for the night. A6000 and 20mm Getting ready She was having a blast and really getting into the role (Not sure where the camera was focusing but I still love this one)

First round of shooting using the Monolith as it is now known. Thanks to my friend Andy for pointing out that similarity. I know there were some people on here who had no idea what this thing was, let alone how it would be used. I love that I can be set up and shooting with this thing in 5-10...

Spent a few hours waiting for the fireworks to begin Sun had just set when we got there but we tried to get a few pictures anyway. A6000 and 50mm SEL

Bob keeps himself in phenomenal condition. Despite being nearly 70. And even more so, despite an on/off battle with cancer. I got him in for a shoot recently. Which I had been wanting to do for a while. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

We did another musicians portraits. The no charge for drinks and food at the bar where we do these is going to ruin me. I'm going to get fat.ter. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

I shot a pets with the Easter Bunny thing that was a charity for a local dog rescue. But the BTS stuff and the bunny on break turned out to be even more fun to shoot than the portraits. 1 2 3 4 5

Or as I call it, the bat wing. I saw this thing on Adorama and it looked interesting enough to try out. So I got the middle size, which is 60 inches. So far I really like the light from it. A pair of these would be perfect for all of the classic head shot light configurations. Excuse the messy...

These ladies were rude, messy, full of attitude, and didn't listen to any direction! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Did a little more playing around and having some fun.

I want to work with the local area cosplayers more this year. Which means I have to learn to do things in photoshop. Unfortunately. But good cosplay photos, at least some of them, require some post work to look their best. This is my first go at doing a light saber. I already had the photo from...

We had a big shoot set up for some local musicians. It was highly successful so there will be a second one at some point. And on a side note, having a shoot in a bar with said bar giving the photographer free drinks can get bad :lol: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

To begin with a most recent one I met this couple today during a quick visit to an abandoned fortification

We had our niece over last weekend and took a few quick shots A6000 and 45mm Minolta F2

I had one of these years ago and liked it for casual portraits. I'm interested in acquiring a similar range lens for my

I'll start sharing some photos from an impromtu photoshoot of my friends girlfriend this evening as they come off the line! Most shot with either the 56mm 1.2 APD or 50-140 2.8. For a start 'freckles in the city!' Freckles in the city by tom.ohle, on Flickr

We spent a busy few days over the Easter Weekend. A6000 and 28-70mm was in tow the entire time. Easter Egg hunt with friends and their puppy Then we went to an Easter Pageant Saturday evening and sat on the lawn, having a picnic. Finally wrapped up Sunday with a...

My last photo for SIJ. My apologies to everyone for having really slacked off. I was going home from work, walking down to the underground garage. This is a reflection shot off one of those mirrors/reflectors placed around the corner of stairwells, so that people don't run into each other. Or...

After the disappointment of the day before I am trying to find out how I can bend my feelings into something creative. This is me....

I have had back pain problems for so long and had several pain treatments. I had high hopes a surgery could ease the pain, but on Wednesday I learned a surgery made no sense. I simply have to life and not to deal with it.

Feel terrible that I've been slacking off. The combination of work and laziness can get overwhelming. And lack of creativity too. On the other hand, the Fuji X10's sharp lens continues to amaze me. I took this selfie and cropped it to focus on my eyes. I decreased the clarity quite a bit to hide...

Today the weather turned nasty with gale force winds and lots of rain. I got cold and wet on my commute back home.

My littlest daughter enjoying a static moment!Taken on Olympus E-P3 and M.Zuiko 40-150 cheapo kit zoom lens. ISO 200, 1/320 sec @ f5.2, 114mm focal length. Tack sharp, nice bokeh IMHO.
