We finally made it over to Oakland Zoo Lights.
Oakland Zoo Lights 2014
Christmas Eve 2013
We went to Jon & Kathy’s for our annual Christmas Party. I tried to keep my picture taking to a minimum, but had to take portraits. I need to change my methodology. I was so intent on getting the bokeh from the Christmas tree lights and I was shooting at f2-2.8. This created some focus issues that I could not see on that little 3″ screen. Perhaps I need to complete that iPad tethering project.
Merry Christmas 2013
Nico Yuen
Tonight I had an appointment with Nico. He was more interested in eating than posing for photos.
Okay a week later take 2. I tried something different, a Gary Fong collapsible powersnoot.
Mommi Portraits
Been looking for a chance to use the Light Blaster and since we have Mommi here…
Portland at night
Took my G1X & tripod on my last Portland trip.
Fort McKinley
Tonight we met up with Rom & Carmina as they were on their way home. We took them to Fort McKinley.
Toni
It’s been way too long since we saw Toni, so what better way to reconnect then eating sushi at Angel Fish. But 1st a couple of portraits… I’m getting good use out of my Flashpoint ringlight. I love the soft shadowless light it outputs.
Noah is a cowboy
I wanted to shoot Noah in his Halloween costume as we won’t be able to see him Thursday night. Since he is a cowboy this year, I thought the perfect place would be Heinold’s in Jack London Square. I inspected the location earlier and had everything planned out. Of course Noah had a different plan in mind. I found myself chasing him everywhere with a camera in one hand and the softbox in the other. I need to rethink that approach for next time.
Wild Turkey
I went to work at a lab in San Leandro and was shocked to see wild turkeys. I made sure I had my camera this time.
