Something Sunday --- Golden Hour

Yes I know it is Christmas day and I have been getting some great shots that will need to be posted.  I have struggled this year to get into the Spirit so to speak, but it is a good time of the year.  So to all that read this have a very Merry safe fun enjoyable Christmas.

There is a brief moment in every day where the light is just spectacular.  It is called The Golden Hour and I have yet to take a bad picture during this time.  It is right as the sun in sinking below the horizon and then about 15 min afterwards as you have the largest diffuser in the world.  some of the captures be it people scenery nature are amazing.  So get out there and try to find the golden hour but always be ready before and after!!

Here are some shots of H during this time.  Yes I know I still hear here saying I am so cute!

Golden hour is a tremendous time to take pictures and if it starts getting too dark there is always Black and white!

Got try it you will see.

Something Sunday --- Gallery Walk (My first one)

Logan Utah is what I would call an artsy place.  The Summerfest is held during the summer months and I think that every 6 months a gallery walk is also held.  Now a gallery walk gives local artists a chance to display their pieces, get their name out, and hopefully sell some art pieces.  I have talked several times about putting some pieces in the photography exhibit at "The Mansion" but have never done it.  Well this year I thought I would try and see how it goes.  Following are the pieces I exhibited.

M suggested this shoot and I really liked the black and white version of downtown Brigham City.

I have had a vision of this one for a while but have not been able to find the tree I was looking for.  As I drove back from Iowa guess what.  Yes a wreck almost occured and had several semi trucks blow by and get in the picture but I got it!

Okay I must say this piece is very similar to the one I exhibited but not the original.  This is a 16 x 20 print and will only have one print hence the look alike on my blog.

Something Sunday --- Thanksgiving

Every once in a while you just have to do something that people tell you "I would not do that!"  Well this is one of those times.  I will warn you some of the photos taken on this were in some difficult places not the best quality but helps to understand why people would say "I would not do that!"

Now that the disclaimer is out of the way...  I had a blast during Thanksgiving.  In talking to H I found out she was going to be at college for a week during the Thanksgiving break all alone.  Well not acceptable so I made the decision to drive about 17 hours to spend some time with her during the holiday.  Yes you know me I am not one to pass up a "cute" model as H put it!!!

Enjoy these we had a blast making them.



Okay this is in the middle of I 84 yes I am stopped in the middle of the road I think anyway.  If you look to the left you can see the reflectors I lined up on to stay in the middle of the road.




I can still hear her saying I am so cute!




Cyclone power and pride here!




Inside the Aerospace building thing yes I am a sucker for the colors.




Night Flash work




I know I know but had to have proof I was there.





As near as I can tell this is about the same place on I84 in Wyoming as the first picture.  It was a lot faster and easier driving back!

I have more pictures of the occasion they will be coming eventually.



Something Sunday --- M & S

I have been asked to post some photos of this joyous occasion.  You see I am often confused on weddings.  I enjoy shooting them I really do even with all the stress but it is their even their memories I am capturing.  In other words their day so that being said shouldn't they be the ones to share and use their photos how they want...

The debate will rage on in my mind I am sure but some were just to good to pass up.

Okay for those of you wondering what this is all about.  This is 7:36 am on the day they were married.  Yes I got up early just for this and glad I did.

First Kiss

Okay enough already!!!



The posse hanging.



Ahh what a great day fun times had by all and oh the memories!!!!
