Newport Beach LDS Temple in HDRSaturday, March 20th, 2010

One project that I will be working on will be to photograph the wedding locations of temples, churches, and such. So the day before I grabbed my cameras, tripod, and cable release to take some photographs of the Newport Beach Temple. The temple is a sacred building for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

And the temple is a beautiful building with great landscaping – so here are a few of the photographs. I wasn’t able to photograph during sunset because I was photographing the engagements at that time. But with HDR I am able to photograph the temple with the sun in the composition – you can’t do that without HDR.

And of course you really really really need a tripod and cable release.

I am going to be teaching a class at Photocamp Utah 2010Monday, January 11th, 2010

I am excited – looking forward to March 20, 2010 – I will be teaching a class in HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography. Below is an example of an HDR photograph I created of the Utah State Capitol building.

Photocamp Utah is a grassroots seminar that is all day and will have about 20 different classes – and to fantastic keynote seminars. Last year they had several hundred photographers – this year in the first 20 minutes there were 120 people register for the Photocamp.

I have no problem with public speaking – and I am excited to teach all I know about the topic. I’ll be working on the my syllabus for the class and hopefully I can teach and inspire 100-200 photographers how to create amazing HDR images.

Wedding Cake Photograph in HDRWednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Wedding Cake Photograph Created with HDR

Wedding Cake Photograph Created with HDR

I love real wedding cakes – I understand the economics of having a “stunt cake” or a fake cake where only part of the cake is real for the cake cutting ceremony. However, real cake is so much more tasty.

This cake was a carrot cake covered with real blueberries, strawberries, and currants. It was a little tricky to photograph – it was so dark and backlit. I photographed it several ways – with an off camera flash, with natural light, from outside looking in. This particular photograph was stitched together from 9 exposures and put together using HDR (High Dynamic Range).

I then edited the photograph to have a more film look – digital looks to perfect sometimes – and imitating film gives things a unique look.

Log Haven in Mill Creek Canyon

Log Haven in Mill Creek Canyon

What defines a wedding in the memory of your guests? Obviously the bride and the groom – and then it would be location location location! Everyone will remember where you were married and what it looked like. And they will remember where you hosted the reception.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to photograph a wedding in Log Haven in Mill Creek Canyon in Utah. The only downside of this location is the lack of cell service – everything else is world class.

While the wedding party was eating – and I really don’t like photographing people eating – it is a bit embarrassing to people – I took the chance to photograph the location and I used a photographic technique called HDR (High Dynamic Range) to capture all the gorgeous detail.
