Salt Lake City through film photography and at nightTuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Another roll of film is back from the photo lab! This has a few photos from the recent photowalk that visited Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah.

These film photographs look amazing printed out – I really love the black and white photography that my film camera creates. Can I do better with digital? Probably. But the film does have a unique vibe that I can’t describe. And I didn’t have to do any photoshop work on these photos. It just cost $20 to process the film, get prints and have the film scanned to a disk.

I am going to be practicing some people photography soon with my film camera. Since it is manual focus it’ll require a little patience but I think it’ll be fun. Maybe I can have an all black and white photo shoot with a victim – I mean volunteer.

Hiding Wedding Rings Among the FlowersFriday, December 18th, 2009

It has been a little while since I have featured wedding rings on the wedding blog – and I have been looking for some macro accessories for my camera equipment – so what better moment than this evening? Especially on a Friday – when I should be out and about having a fun time watching movies? So instead here is a photograph of wedding rings I photographed at a wedding hosted at Rose Sachs outside of Salt Lake City.

I photograph details like the wedding rings with my macro lens – there really is no other way to properly photograph wedding rings. You want to get close and then get closer. You can only do that with a macro lens (maybe if you use a bellows or double up on lenses).

Finding wedding rings hidden in the wedding bouquet

And to photograph this close with a macro lens you have to master off camera flash. I usually shoot through and umbrella – although I just picked up a small softbox that I will use a ton in the future. And I think I will always photograph the rings set on the flowers and florals.

The Nativity Scene at Temple Square in Salt Lake CityFriday, December 18th, 2009

The photowalk at Temple Square was a huge success! There was about 130 photographers who first attended the low-light clinic. We learned about the benefits of using tripods, high ISO, flash, long shutter speeds, HDR (high dynamic range), multiple exposures, and more. After the clinic we all boarded the local Trax train to head downtown to Temple Square.

There were so many people – it was rather fun. I was photographing with two camera (and my flip mino video camera). Most of my photographs I created were with my film camera. And then a few photographs were created with my Nikon D300. Such as the photograph below – this photograph is of the Nativity scene in front of the Salt Lake Temple. It was also stitched together from multiple exposures using Photomatix Pro software. When I fill up the film I will get that developed and post some of those photographs – even if they didn’t turn out – I will at least run a comparision.

Going to Temple Square to Photograph the LightsThursday, December 17th, 2009

I am looking forward to tonight. A number of photographers are bringin cameras, tripods, and heavy heavy coats to photograph the Christmas lights at Salt Lake City’s Temple Square. If you haven’t visited – I would highly recommend it. This photo shoot isn’t for a wedding – although that would be cool. This will be a photowalk with other photographers.

I will be bringing two cameras (at least). I will be shooting digital and film tonight. With digital I will be photographing some HDR photographs. And on film I will shoot in both black and white and color. I want to see how both compare in to each other. It’ll be a lot of fun!

So if you are a photographer we are meeting at the Salt Lake Library at 7pm. There is a lowlight clinic first – and then we will board Trax and head downtown. Rich Legg will be teaching his secrets on tripods, ISO, cable releases, and much more. Even if you are a beginner – you are more than welcome to join in on the fun.

Calling any married brides who want some photographyTuesday, December 15th, 2009

An idle mind is the devil’s playground. I don’t know what an idle photographer’s playground would be, however, I would love to be busy photographing some brides who are already married to help build my portfolio. I know it is freezing outside – but if you want to brave the elements – even for half an hour I would love to photograph you in downtown Salt Lake City or in Provo or any “metropolitan area” in Utah.

I want to use the photographs on my website and my blog to help promote my business. And if you are already married your photography will be free in exchange for your time. If you are shopping for a wedding photographer let me know – I am looking for bridals and weddings to photograph.
