Kyle and David senior portraits

these guys are pretty much best friends....they are also two of the biggest jokers in the youth group

had a lot of fun hanging out today with them...crazy to think these guys are headed off to college already
enjoy the serious and not so serious shots we got today

kyle










david








and of course had to get some with the both of them

two more from Tyler's senior session

so this is somewhat of a test...
one element of exposing a picture is ISO. the smaller the ISO (50,100,200) the sharper the image. The higher the ISO (1600, 3200, etc) the more grainy or "noisy" the image will become. So, i have always thought, stay away from the higher ISO's.

well, this shot has completely changed my understanding of that...this was shot at 3200 ISO...so, i put it in black and white to start since that just seems to fix about any photo
however, changing it to color blew me away.

i love having revelations like this from time to time...makes me excited to shoot all over again

Dawn and Sam - part 2

here are some more from the wedding Friday night...

i am loving the high ISO on the 5D...has totally changed how I can shoot.
love it...

Tyler's senior pics

I have known Tyler for a couple years now...this kid is ridiculous at acting which I recently witnessed in the local high schools' production of Beauty and the Beast

He is headed off to UGA next year to study psychology....we had a really good time and could not have asked for better weather

i think i need a nap now....'bout ready to crash

Dawn and Sam - part 1

what an unbelievable first wedding of '09
dawn and sam are great and a joy to be around along with the rest of their families

the day totally fit them: a relaxed, chill atmosphere where the main priority was sitting down to good conversation with bbq and sweet tea close at hand

i can't wait to go through the rest of these photos, but it's 12:40am and I don't feel like loading the other 3 cards
so....this will have to do for now.

enjoy
