Memorial Day @ Temple Mountain

I know it has a been a while back, but I forgot to post the rest of the pictures from our trip to Southern Utah Near Temple Mountain. Dabbled around a bit with some nighttime photography and long exposure stuff, kind of fun. Enjoy.

Strottner Engagement pics round 2

It was sill raining on round 2, but I think we still got some keepers. Our first location attempt was at Lagoon, but with the recent hurricane, it looked like a war zone, so we went to the Garden Park Ward in Salt Lake City.

Strottner Engagement pics

Despite the gloomy skies and over the abundance of rain falling from the heavy cloud cover, this photo shoot turned out great. It never stopped raining the whole time we where there. We took these shots at Wheeler Farms. Ashley and Zac had a good attitude and we where able to get a good variety of shots. Enjoy.

More Bike Armor

These are the results from the second round of Bike Armor pics. These are promotional shots of a road bike for Bike Armor. I really think the red helps the product logo pop.

BIke Armor

Took a shot at some product photography for a product called Bike Armor. It's fun yet challenging because the product is made to appear invisible. I tried to isolate the various parts of the bike, where the Bike Armor is applied, by centralizing the focus by blurring the the outer rim and adding a vignette. If was fun bouncing light every where in the white room that I used. It worked well to get as many reflections as I could. I used 2 SB-800 and 1 SB-900. The first SB-800 I blasted on the back wall to help with the white back drop and elimanate any shadows form the other lights. The second SB-800 I bounced off the closest wall, and the third light, my SB-900 I shot trough a collapsable diffusion reflector, (because I'm to cheap for a soft box). I moved this light around to light up the specific parts of the bike I wanted to feature. I used my cameras wireless feature to control the out puts of the 2 different groups of lights. Maybe it all worked, maybe it didn't, but it was kind of fun.

Finally Spring

Though it keeps raining and snowing, I think spring is finally here. Had some time on Sunday to do some shooting, shot some tulips and some kids....That sounds bad, but you know what I mean. Some of these shots, where shot inverted. By that, I mean I hung my camera upside down off the underneath side of my tripod to get a different more interesting angle.

Fairview

Took a while to post these shots, a couple of weeks ago I had some friends from Minnesota come out to go Snowmobiling. We had a ball. I met Dan Skallet years ago on the Annual Polaris Photo shoots. Dan and his buddy Justin Klett come out once a year to play in the mountains of Utah.
I actually attempted to go riding up American Fork on Tuesday, but when we got to the parking lot, there was not enough snow to go for a ride, so I turned around and drove home, after a quick stop @ Cabelas. Zeb and Andrew drove around to the Heber side so they could see if there was enough snow to ride on over there.
These shots are from a couple weeks ago.

Dan tries his best on the rental Arctic Cat, what it lacked in power was made up for with Dan over abundance of skill.
