Wedding & Bridal Photos

Suzie's Bridals

I was lucky enough to photograph Suzie for her wedding. It was a fun day and I think the pictures turned out all right.

A Fun Car

This fun little car was used a prop for some wedding portraits (coming soon).

Do Not Destroy

Yes, when I saw this barrel out in the field I really wanted to take it home with me. No, I left it there.

A Recent Roll of Film

This roll of film was just recently developed and I'm excited to share the results. What do you think?

New Lens Test

Acquiring a new lens while down recovering from surgery was really difficult, but patiently waiting paid off. I was recently contacted by the previous owner of this lens in Canada. He wanted to trade it for one of my lenses. I was happy to oblige as I've been wanting this lens for a while; they're not very common since they've been discontinued for some time. Here's the first few shots with the Pentax FA* 24mm f/2 lens attached to my camera.

Melanie

Melanie and I met a few times in different locations for her portraits so she could give her husband a surprise for Christmas. These two below are from the last time we met and probably at the top of my list for favorites of her.

 

A Few From Last Week

I just developed this roll of film and I have a few more rolls coming soon. Here's a sample:

The American Bald Eagle

As I've mentioned before I'm not much of a bird shooter, however there are a couple exceptions. One of them is traveling to beautiful Farmington Bay during the first part of February to catch the Bald Eagles flying down from Alaska this time of year.

Heading out there last Saturday morning, I don't think we could have picked a better day or time to visit. Pictures are below.

Recently Developed Film

Many of you already know I enjoy using film. It's not just the characteristics of film providing the experience for me, but more the camera used. My collection of old cameras include many produced from Pentax long ago, some even before I was born. The K1000 was given to me nearly 20 years ago, a simple, yet elegant and beautiful camera creating a long relationship with Pentax products. It still works perfectly and is a pleasure to use.

The joy I get when using the Pentax MX is hard to describe, but it still makes me smile every time. I don't know if it's the LED light meter in the viewfinder moving up and down as I adjust my exposure or the bells and whistles built into such a small package. (Maybe a future post should include a few pictures of my film cameras.)

After just finishing a roll of film recently in the MX I picked up the results last week. Here are a few pictures from the roll.

 

Portraits of Children

Last week I did some portraits of children. Here are a few samples.
