The perfect angle...

Static subjects are nice in that they are there, and not moving when you want them.  Just how many trips does it take to get the one shot that counts?  That question may never be answered fully.

3 mile bridge is our "landmark" in Pensacola.  Early this morning I tried a different angle to get "that shot".  I'm not entirely displeased, but not exactly what I wanted either.  This shot was taken using my K20 D and an older Pentax SMC A 135 2.8.

How could the boys resist a chance to go fishing?  Some good bites, but unfortunately the tide wasn't working with us this morning.

An hour or so later I shot this in a different location, with the same set-up.  This shot really shows the qualities of the older lenses on the newer bodies.  Crisp and sharp, this one was a keeper.

New Beginnings

This blog is an opportunity for me to share my experiences behind a camera.  Whether I'm working on a commercial assignment, doing an engagement session or just experimenting with new techniques I will share some of the final products and thoughts behind what made them work or not.  Questions and comments are welcome since that is how we grow in any stage of life.

Cherry Blossoms
Shot with a Pentax K10 D this spring using a zoom lens I purchased on ebay for $14.  The color output of the CCD sensor in the K10 D is simply amazing, and remains one of the best even though it was officially released in January 2008.  Although there are (and I have) newer, better cameras the K10 D still holds its own in the photographic world.
