Yellowstone National Park

I apologize that it has been so long since I blogged anything. My computer has been on the fritz. We also made a trip up to Yellowstone not too long ago. It is about an hour away, maybe a little longer.

Anyway we packed up our twins at 4:30am and drove up. It was the perfect time because the Kids slept the whole way. Ours was the only car at the west gate. The air was still cold and the sun was just starting to come up when we got there. It made for great conditions to take photos.

Here is my favorite from this trip:

Whitewater Kayaking

Sari

Sorry that it has been so long since I lasted posted anything. I have been busy with finals at the University. They are done now though and these next couple of Posts should make up for it.

I did a bridal shoot not too long ago for a girl engaged to a man from India. She wore a Sari. It was fun to have a different king of wedding outfit to work with.

Having some Fun!

One of my recent assignments at school was to use a Holga camera. They are a cheap plastic camera. They make some interesting looking photographs though. These photos weren't done with the Holga instead they were done with my digital SLR during the same shoot that I was using the Holga. (If possible I will try to scan some of the Holga prints I made) I liked using the Holga because there weren't too many technical things you could control while using it. That cleared things up to where I only really needed to think about composition. It wound being a really fun evening and I can't wait to go out and try some other ideas I still have for the Holga!

Upper Mesa Falls

I recently made a trip up to a water fall here in Idaho called 'Upper Mesa Falls'. It is a nice waterfall. There are only a few spots to really get a photo of the falls from. So here are a few of my favorites from the evening I spent there.

Bridal Shoot

Recently I went to Thanksgiving Gardens for a bridal session. When we started out there were tons of people roaming around. We persisted though and the crowds soon died down. There are many places to take pictures there. We had a great time and were able to get many incredible shots. These are just a few of my favorites from the afternoon.

Low Key

Ok, Sorry it has been a bit longer than a week since I posted. Things got a little busy me for me.

Here's a 'Low key' for you though. This is a shot of the rear tire on my mountain bike. It's a good tire too. It sticks to the dirt in turns like glue.

High Key

What is High Key?

Here is a photo of a sundress that I picked out for my wife when we were in Ensenada, Mexico a couple of summers ago. We went there on a four day cruise. The cruise was very nice.

I am currently in a class learning more about 'Black and White photography'. We are working on high key and low key photos right now. So I hung the dress up on our closet door and soon enough I had this high key photograph.
