Favorite Foto Friday

September 16, 2011 by Shane Comments

There was a time when I had this weekly thing called Favorite Foto Friday, things were going good, if not great, and all was right with the world. I’m not saying all is not right, at this moment, I AM saying that I got behind, then got lazy, then said, “To hell with it.”

Now I’m saying, “To hell with THAT laziness crap.” I’m jumping back into the driver’s seat again. I have a few weddings coming up that I am super excited about, and just came back from a mini photo tour of a few national parks that just so happen to sit in my extended back yard. I’m also looking forward to fall, and winter, my personal favorite time of the year.

I’m personally done with summer, and here is a fitting send off image.

Out For a Quick Shoot

August 31, 2011 by Shane Comments

Yesterday, I ran out to test a new lens, and to get a handle on how it feels. I’m not going to give you my scientific analysis, I’m just going to say I am very happy with the results.

The sun was just about to set when I headed out to Vasquez Rocks, and arrived just in time to have the sheriff close and lock the gates. I got out of the car, and turned my attention in the opposite direction, where there were several ranches and residences dotting the landscape.

This next shot was taken from a parking lot overlooking much of the Santa Clarita Valley. The light attracted me like a bee to honey.

A Little Hike and Shooting With Wendy Wilson

August 21, 2011 by Shane Comments

I got to shoot with the always fun, always beautiful, Wendy Wilson last Thursday. She knew of this little trail she wanted to show me, as well as show off her guitar. The guitar has a special little story of it’s own. It was originally her fathers, when he was about 13 years old, he painted it with stars and stripes. When Wendy acquired it, she was thinking of striping and repainting it, but found it had way too much character. I have to agree with her, and even told her so.

Wendy Wilson – A Sunset Portrait

August 19, 2011 by Shane Comments

I know I’ve been neglecting my Favorite Foto Friday posts, it certainly isn’t because I haven’t been producing images, quite the opposite. Well, Favorite Foto Friday is back, and with a vengeance! Today’s image feature’s Wendy kicking back in the light of the setting sun.

Beautiful Sunset Colors

May 16, 2011 by Shane Comments

One of my earliest attractions to photography is sunsets. For me they have always held a special place in my heart, they are dramatic, the colors are bold, and if you miss one, you can catch another one the next day. I guess the same can be said about sunrises, but I am usually not to keen about waking up early enough to catch those often. Here is today’s Daily Quick-Shot, with some inspiring sunset color.

Reflections in Sand

May 2, 2011 by Shane Comments

You might say I’m a sucker for a sunset, or a reflection, and when you put the two together, I’m in heaven. The interplay of sky, water, and land have always been a huge draw for me. Sunsets dominated my photography growing up, and to a certain degree, still do. I just love ‘em.

Canyon Gate Country Club Sunset View

April 21, 2011 by Shane Comments

Here is a view from the reception hall at the Canyon Gate Country Club in Las Vegas. While the reception was under way, and the guests were eating, I took the opportunity to take a couple of shots of the sunset, it was too hard to resist. Besides, you shouldn’t have to be a club member, or have a reception to enjoy a view such as this, so I am sharing it with you. I softened up the image (a lot), did some dodging and burning, added some contrast and viola!

On Being Ready to Shoot, Anytime, Anywhere

April 10, 2011 by Shane Comments

California Sunset

The prevalence of the digital camera has made photography available to just about anyone. Whether you use a DSLR, a point and shoot, the camera built into your phone, the point is to use what ever camera you have, and shoot where ever you are. The picture above was taken on a lunch break, from my work parking lot. I had my camera with me, a habit I maintain almost daily, just in case I see something. You never know what you may find as you go about your daily routine. The point is you have a camera, be ready to use it.
