As I do occasionally, I tried the assignment approach of letting the baby do the shooting, while I’m more of the director / editor. This time with her toy car she used to call beebeegoogoo.

I’m never particularly good at figuring out what image will be well liked in the OTP g+ site, but this one went over really well.

In that vein, I just recropped another image from that assignment super tight which is a vast improvement over the previous one which was lacking in focus.

And also some nice shadows from late at night.

I first came across the concept as an issue for architectural photography and capturing both shaded and sky with balanced light, in the days before HDR was an easy thing.

But I think this reflection shot is a much more interesting use of that dynamic instead of the straight patio shot.

Another shot from the South Premium outlet mall visit in March.

I don’t think this is exactly the prime intention of the assignment, but the OTP crew is pretty loose with the words anyways. This first one came while wandering around Durango High after the Nevada Democratic Caucus, and the second was an ominous flash of light in the bathroom.

Most anywhere else it would be hard to get a summertime shot in March, but in Vegas, I just went outside. Not much different in September… though the weather is cooling down to the lovely high nineties.

give her a wide angle lens, stop it down and set it to hyperfocal.

Happy Valentines!

A few weeks ago we were wandering around Glazier’s supermarket and ended up taking a couple photos at the greeting card aisle. In other related news, I can’t believe its been 3 years since we left Houston and celebrated valentines day eating packaged salad, sitting on the parking lot of Buc-ee’s.

From the kitchen.

(and it actually seems to be the very last shot I took all year…though the post processing was done in 2016…and then backdated to 2015! The magic of the internet!)

Had fun with the baby’s o-ball trying to capture gravity.
