On the 23rd, Sarah and I were lucky enough to be the photographers for my cousin, Sydney's, cheerleading squad. We had a great time, and as you can see we got 'em to loosen up a bit.

Strobist info: FL-50R high to camera right with clear gary fong light sphere without the top so a good amount of light is reflecting off the ceiling. Light stand = Sarah.

I recently took a trip to Kansas City, MO for a teacher workshop. This was taken inside one of the enclosed foot bridges that connect buildings around the city. I thought it had some really nice lines... very industrial looking!

This image was taken at the February Triangle Strobist meet-up. As usual, another great meet! I wasn't able to get my hands on a pocket wizard for this shoot, cause we had soooo many people shooting, but I think the result from just the modeling light came out pretty darn well.

Complementary

I took this of Sarah at a flickr Triangle Strobist meeting under a bridge in Raleigh. I love the complementary colors which really make the image very dynamic.

The Triangle Strobist group is an awesome group of photographers.
Thanks to everyone who let me use their lighting equipment!

Restoration

This is an image that I restored for Sarah's mother for a scrap booking project. This is only one of many. It provided several different types of problems. Not only with rebuilding the faces where the scratches and damage was, but with the discoloration of the tape along the edges. Getting the couch the right color brown, was probably the hardest part. Overall it came out better than I was expecting... always a good thing.

God's Masterpiece

I took this in Charlotte, 02/02/2008. Looked out the car window and saw what looked to be an upside down rainbow, but soon saw the whole picture. Luckily I had my camera, cause it didn't last long. Truly amazing!

Its technically known as a 22º radius halo, which is cause by ice crystals that form in cirrus clouds.
