Rockin @ the Great Salt Lake

A few of us got together Friday at Black Rock by the Great Salt Lake and did a little Rock Band photoshoot. Nathan Marx organized the event and with the help of Rob Snow, Shane & Bekah we had our models. Kudos to Rob for hauling his expensive drums out there, I have to say they look pretty awesome next to the lake.
I’m not sure what I will do with these images yet but I had a blast with Nathan, Ziggy & Rob. You can see the rest of the photos here

I often ask myself if hauling around my camera, extra lens, flash, macbook pro, two external hard drives, power supply and a bunch of little odds and ends in my backpack to work each day is really worth it. Well, on a recent drive to work it paid off. While driving to work this particular day the sun rays were so bright peaking over Francis Peak that I couldn’t resist making this photo.
I normally put my camera on the seat next to me when I drive so I’m not fumbling for it on the freeway. For today’s shot I set the camera to manual focus at infinity, held the camera up to the window and snapped away going 70 miles per hour. I was lucky enough to get a few good shots.
Once Upon a Time
Canon 40D * EF-24-105mm f/4.0L * ISO 250 * 1/20 seconds * f/4.0
I’ve driven by this old church many times in Ovid Idaho on my way to Wyoming. I’ve wanted to stop but the lighting conditions haven’t been all that great. Once I saw the color in the sky with the clouds I quickly pulled over and took this photo before it got to dark.
I went a little crazy in my post-processing in Photoshop Lightroom but I really like how this image has an HDR effect to it. To my surprise my wife has decided that she want’s a print of this to hang on our wall.

Weekend in Wyoming
Canon 40D * EF-24-105mm f/4.0L * ISO 100 * 1/200 seconds * f/8.0
We had a little R&R in Wyoming this weekend with a little sun and lots of snow. Saturday morning as I was heading to the store to grab some items for breakfast I came across this barn. I’ve shot it many times but when I saw this I couldn’t resist. I’ve posted other images here from the weekend, enjoy!
My Move into Microstock
Canon 40D * EF-24-105mm f/4.0L * ISO 100 * 1/200 seconds * f/4.5
For the past couple of months I’ve been focusing my attention into Microstock Photography. While I enjoy doing high school senior, baby and family photo shoots I really like the process of shooting for microstock agencies. It pushes me into situations I haven’t been in before with my photography. Without getting into great detail why, the whole process works well with my day job and my family life.
My first month was a bit rough getting my photos approved but with the help of Nathan Marx giving me a few pointers I was able to get my photos past the inspection process. I’m happy to report that with my latest Ballerina shoot twenty nine of thirty photos that I submitted have been approved. The one rejection was because the photo was too similar to a previous approved photo. While my Chocolate shoot may not be a big money maker it was a good learning process for me. Stay tuned for more, Nate and I have some fun things planned that we are excited about.
