Hey Paul, excellent photography you have. This portrait photograph at the top of your page, how did you light the side of his face as to no have a shadow grill across his face. I just don't get where that light source is coming from. You've traveled to some really cool places, great job.
Valdudes, first thanks for checking out my images. Honestly, I wanted the cool effect of the light falling across his face in shadows but was having a problem with him moving so I just moved the light source closer to the sculpture to avoid the lines. The more specular the light is the more the shadows come out. When I had the shadows the light source was about 30 ft away.
I grew up in the country, loved it. Of course I left there for college and really don't get back much. Recently I had the chance to come home and watch some Spurs games with Darren. Well it seems someone pimped out my childhood and like they say...you can never go home again.
Just wanted to post some recent photos taken at the Big 12 Tennis Championships. I like tennis so if you don't piss off. Ever want to break into the field of journalism? Better start liking a lot of sports and pay attention to getting the right shot.
Recently I finished up a project for a nonprofit event I work with every year. This is one of many groups I work with throughout the year. No, I am not trying to earn my wings and halo or prove I am better but I am saying it doesn't hurt you in the long run either.
I try to stay in shape- a couple of times a week at the gym, healthy food and yoga if time permits. Carrying 70 lbs. of gear can wear you out so it pays to keep fit. No conditioning on the stair master laps around the park could prepare me for the marathon I finished last week.
