Grilled Pizza!

Pin It Now! Food photography is fun. I think I staged this well, but the lighting is a bit off because the sun is going down. The pizza is as delicious as it looks.

Medical Mama Drama

Pin It Now! These photos were from when my son was born. The first being a shot of the doctors hard at work saving my wife and my son's lives. A very dramatic shot while they're in the middle of the operation. The second picture was taken soon after my boy arrived in the NICU. He was so little, the heart monitor was placed on his foot. You can see the light right shining through him. I included the sticker in the shot to give it a size comparison. His foot is no bigger than my thumb.

Playing with the manual focus

These pictures were taken back when I first got my Nikon and I got to practice staging a shot and working with the manual focus.

This picture taught me to look for more than placing the subject in a good position, but also consider items in the background providing depth of field. As pretty as my dog is, what I love about the picture is the stuffed animal sitting by the T.V.

Best of Christmas 2010

Pin It Now!

My son was being the perfect model on his first Christmas. Not having the motor skills to run away helps. I'm using a fixed 35mm lens with a pretty high aperture. (f 1.8). The sparkling lights on the tree and the reflection off the ornament really blur well in the background.
