PHOTOGRAPHY UNWRAVELED

Ever had the experience where you want to rip your camera apart when you have a blurry picture of your active child? Ever wonder why your subjects sometimes look jaundice? And what the heck is RAW? There is so much to know about photography in order to get the images you want, even if you're a casual shooter taking snapshots of your family and friends, and unfortunately, there's also a lack of simple, easy to understand, and most importantly, FREE resources out there. If you'd like some answers to these, and many more questions, check out my other blog, Photography Unraveled. My goal with this blog is to use my experience from working in a camera store and shooting pictures (some as a hobby, some as a business) to help everyone from the "Soccer Mom" to the "Hobbyist" get the images they've always wanted. Check it out!

Seaport Village

My company sent me to a conference in Sunny San Diego back in February, a week before my wife's due date mind you, where I was able to capture these shots. They put us up in the Marriott, which is right next to a really neat place called Seaport Village. It's right on the harbor, and there's a bunch of what looks like old beach houses that are now shops. I didn't have a lot of free time, but what free time I had I spent in Seaport Village taking pictures.

Antelope Island Hot Air Balloon Festival

I went to the Hot Air Balloon Festival out at Antelope Island back in the early Fall and these are a few of my favorites from that event. This Hot Air Balloon Festival was like Sundance for Photographers. It was hard to get a shot without another camera in it. It was great though. Great light, good weather, and willing subjects, including the buffalo!

Salt Lake Temple

Here are two non-traditional pictures of the Salt Lake Temple. The first abstract one is the reflection of the temple in the reflection pool (imagine that).
