Here’s a few more of Paxton. My cybersyncs weren’t cooperating with me that day so I used my SB-900 in the hot shoe bounced of the wall, ceiling, or both. I used aperture priority or manual and had the SB-900 set to TTL, bumping the flash compensation up or down when needed.

Did my first newborn shoot last night for Brian and April. I had alot of fun doing it, but it was more difficult that I thought it would be. These are just the first 2 images that I’ve edited. I’ll post more as I get time.

I was up in Boston for work for a few days last week and took a few shots whenever it wasn’t raining (which was just about the entire time). The first shot is from the street where I stayed, then a few shots from inside my B&B. The skyline shots were taken from the roof.

Taken with 50mm f1.4 in ultra-dim light from my table.

I had the opportunity to shoot a gymnastics meet with a few friends last week. We were working under about the worst lighting conditions possible, and were pushing our cameras to their absolute limits. After going through nearly 5000 photos…here’s a few of them. I used a terrible way to resize them so they look a lot grainier than they should. Just about all of these were taken with my 70-200 2.8. I tried using my 50 1.4 but it seemed to have trouble tracking in the low light…so it got very little use.

Taken at the NC Zoo. I was using my old Nikon D40 and the 18-55 kit lens (I think).

These are from a recent meetup with the Triad Strobist Group. Most were taken with my 17-55 2.8 or 70-200 2.8.

I had some dust on the sensor of my Nikon D90 and wanted to clean it, but had never done anything like that before. These dust spots kept showing up as dark spots in the sky on landscape shots. Very annoying. After a little research I decided to try out a product called Sensor Swabs. Basically all you do is flip your sensor up in cleaning mode, wipe the sensor in one direction, then flip it and wipe it in the other direction. Done. Takes all of about 10 seconds. I took some before and after pictures so I could see if I got all that pesky dust off…

As you can see, it basically looks like new now. So I’d say that was a big success.

Here’s the website of the people that make these…

I’ve done a few engagement sessions in the past (some on my own, some with a second photographer) and I thought I’d post a few here.
