X100 1st Shot

I wandered around looking for something interesting so I could fire of a couple frames on my new Fujifilm Finepix x100 - ended up just back the car out the garage. I first impression is that I REALLY like this camera. Read the manual, have a good understanding of how it works. This is a full rs jpeg untouched/sharpened etc.. Go ahead click it and see for yourself how sharp it is!!

Family Portrait Project 2011

I shot the family this weekend with some ideas on how I want to use individual shots. This is a rough of the first idea. So far, so good.

Color

I ordered a few colored backgrounds for a family portrait project this summer. This is a test shot I did today. Click it for a larger version.
D700 - Nikkor 85 1.8 - 20% grid on background - main light right - fill left.
Need to mess around with the background light a little - not quite the way I want it to pop.

Julia and Olivia made the BEST cupcakes yesterday afternoon, I went in the kitchen and was like "If I was not lazy I would shoot that for Stock", so I did a quick set up on the cutting board and fired off a couple shots. Great job Palmer Girls.

Enzo Fargione of Elisir

I had the great pleasure of working with Chef Enzo Fargione today! He is smack in the middle of opening Elisir in the Penn Quarter in Washington DC. We had a Capital Portrait theme for the session - and I think we nailed some of the shots - These are a few of my favorites --- so far.
