Well we made it back from vacation OK. The weather didn't allow much for sunrise pics which is something I always look forward to, but we stayed up late and I wasn't exactly springing out of bed @ 5 a.m. either. Still nice to get away and forget about work and schedules. -and with the holiday Mon. next week will be a short one. it'll...

I'm glad you liked the set! ^_^

As for shooting outdoors you can do one of two things:
Use a strobe/flash to fill in the shadows. This will give you the most control as you can diffuse the flash and angle it any way you want - regardless of the position of the sun.
You can also use a reflector to reflect the sun to minimize shadows in her face.
If you are using a white reflector, it will be a really soft reflection and won't look harsh at all. The silver and gold reflectors typically give a more harsh reflection of light.

My brain is full of shredded cheese anyways, so I went to a cool punk show at the Milestone Club. I keep hearing a tele in my ear, cause I decided the best place to take photos was right by this house of a speaker. after 3 visits to this place it remains i think the hardest photo op. i have experienced.

hey where's my body??
worked 6:30-2:30 Friday then went home for a couple of hours before a wedding shoot that was set for 6pm. After driving 50 minutes to the church, I got there only 10 minutes early, but found that the bride and groom had not even arrived yet. The "6pm" wedding commenced at 7:20pm. After the service and some photos we left at 8:00 to drive to...

In all seriousness, thank you for always managing to get good shots of us... there aren't very many, and most have been taken by you. You are awesomeness on a stick for sending them to me!

How did your other wedding shoot go today?
while I was on break at work I saw a girl across from me drawing in her sketch pad. I thought it was a good opportunity so I asked if I could take her picture while she drew. I shot the photo then took it home to create some "art" of my own. I am happy to say she liked it as much as I...

- Not every day can be a happy one-
i was taking my camera to work with me today, cause I thought I might take a few pics, and as I was getting out of my car trying to hold my keys and soda and camera bag I dropped the bag. Not far, mind you, but enough that it broke the 28-200mm USM lens off...

[late response from I-who-never-logs-in...] I had a great time at the Beach Party. Sorry, again, that plans got switched and TheFox & I ended up sleeping elsewhere. She did have the good idea, though -- if she hasn't mentioned this to you already -- that we should visit sometime just to hang out with you two, non-SG-style. What say?
Sorry to hear about the lens. I'm not sure what to tell you about a replacement. I'm guessing we're talking about a lot of money?
