    Johnnie did a great job guiding us through the park, finding good subject matter, and brought reflectors and lighting so we could try different shots of the same subject and learn about the effects. Great learning event, thank you!

    My oldest daughter is graduating with her Masters Degree this year and asked me if I would take some graduation pics for her. I normally don't do portrait work but this was a special occasion. The weather outside wasn't very cooperative and the light was flat but soft. One Ad200 in a softbox gave the shot a little more pop. Most importantly my daughter loves the shots

    I rarely delete any of my shots unless there are technical problems that cannot be overcome. When I initially reviewed my shots from this series I wasn't sure what I might do with it but I felt like it was a good capture. This shot was done in studio against a 50 grey backdrop. I used a series of overlays to give it a dreamy background. I hope you enjoy!

    The interesting thing about the background in this photo is how the day unfolded. It had been gray, cold, and sleeting nonstop, with ice steadily accumulating on the branches and power lines, growing heavier by the hour. Remarkably, about an hour before this photo was taken, the sleet stopped, and the clouds began to roll away, almost like a miracle. As the sun set, it cast a warm glow behind the ice-encased trees, creating a stunning glare and lighting effect. The ice on the road added to the s

    I had known about this location for a long time and always wanted to do a Milky Way shoot there, but I felt uncomfortable going alone at night with my gear. I persuaded the Birmingham Photography Group to join me, and we finally did a shoot at the location. And well... this is the result.I heard that the sails might be back on the windmill this year, so I?ll definitely be doing this shoot again.
