Mexican Hotel and sky

Taken from my hotel room as the sun was setting on this really bright yellow building.

Yellow Pipes

Tonight's engagement photo shoot was a blast. Here's one more from last weekend's photo walk. Stay tuned for a preview from tonight's portrait session in Downtown Rochester.

And the parents did a little rejoicing.

Field of Flowers

I liked how the flowers looked through the fence. I took a few shots from different angles, and this one I was most happy with. The flowers seem to pop out at you and the green adds a great depth. The fence could have been more in focus, however I like the look seen here.

Obove the rest

Above the rest

I thought I was done taking flower pictures this spring, but this one turned out so unexpectedly awesome that I had to post it here. Tulips are big here in Michigan, and these things are so easy to take pictures of because they don't move around too much. It was a overcast day when this shot was taken, and I love the way this flower stood out of the rest of the shot. Let me know what you think.

Raid drops on a flower seem to make a flower much more interesting.

On another note, I miss my Nikon D80, and feel like a part of me is missing.

This guy made my life miserable today by pounding the concrete outside of my office all day. I repeat ALL DAY! I took my time taking this shot (actually several shots like this one.) This was the best of the bunch, but unfortunately it was taken in JPG format and not RAW. I failed to switch the format on the camera back from this past weekend's gymnastics meet. When shooting sporting events, I like to take them in JPG format because of space limitations and speed of writing the files. The trick is to switch the camera back to RAW format when I'm done.

ISO 200, Focal Length 210mm, F5.6, Shutter Speed 1/640s.
