Light Up my Plaza!

The beginners of “the cool club” (otherwise known as us straggler-independent-photographers who want to be geeky by organizing photoshoots for fun)…Sarah Rimel and I…went out and about the Plaza Sunday evening for a relaxing time shooting the plaza lights.  The atmosphere was perfect, and it wasn’t too cold and wasn’t too windy….wala, a wonderful shoot.

This is when I realized, I really am a portrait photographer at heart…when I found myself photographing a portrait inside a building. hehe

Me and the lovely Sarah Rimel.  This took a couple tries…I’m not a master at long exposures…or holding still until the picture is done. haha

22 REASONS TO SMILE!

Yes…Yes…I’ve neglected my blog lately…but only because I’ve been buried under wrapping paper, scissors, tape, print orders, boxes, Christmas decorations, …I’ve been a busy bee trying to get everyone’s orders put in before Christmas.  But, time’s been running out and I really needed to get this Grosdidier family their pictures done.  
This is the coolest family…and when Karla (aka: family organizer) called and asked if I would get some nice family shots while her brother was in town, OF COURSE I was IN!  However, can’t exactly say I was prepared for walking into a room filled with 22 people ready to be in front of the camera. HAHA!  I can officially say, that is one of the largest family group shots I’ve ever shot…at least, indoors anyway.  BUT I DID IT!  
This is two humorous shots of the chaos that comes along with 22 people confined in a room and having a camera shoved in their face.

These are the two responsible for all the rest of the 20 people.

Yet another try…

I’m just so curious to how people get good quality little videos on their sites…I must give it another go.  Tell me if you can see it and rate the quality (for web compression)

I went a little slower on the clips to see if that would help with picture quality, but I don’t think it did the trick. I know I don’t know too much about this stuff, but I think that’s the best its gonna look when compressed for the web. If anyone knows different tricks…I’m all eyes and ears. HELP!
