To celebrate and mark her growth we went to my favorite photo spot and took some pictures. Not only do these mark her growth, but marks her change in personality and how much she's growing into such a diva.<br />

I had a lot of help with posing and positioning them from Kymi's mom. She was a natural at knowing how they should stand and could get them in position while I got them focused in the camera. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What did I learn: RIM LIGHTS! I really wanted a light background, but it didn't arrive in time. So I settled for this one. I knew I was going to have difficulty getting the black suits to stand out from the backdrop. I don't have enough lights to have a separate rim light. In hindsight, I should have used a reflector to act as a rim light. I was able to get some separation in post-processing, and could probably do more if I really wanted to, but it was only an issue in one photo.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I need to do more research beforehand on posing, so I'm not stuck thinking during the shoot. Many props to Christina for her help. I half-jokingly said I would hire her for my next portrait shoot just to do the posing.</div>

One flash set up as a primary through a softbox and a consistent light set up through a shoot through umbrella. I was going for a moody, angsty, starving musician environment.<br />

The first challenge of 2014 is Best Face of 2014. I only had a couple photos I debated about and ultimately landed on this one ... it's a photo I took for the church band promo shoot. I had a lot of fun doing this photo shoot and hope to do more band type shoots in the future.<br />

Of course I took these the day before I got a new camera body - I need to take her out again and get some more shots.<br />
<br />
I started out inside a barn and trying to use my flash with my shoot through umbrella, but the batteries were dead in my flash (I had JUST replaced them ... guess I put dead batteries in). All but one or two of the barn photos are sans flash with a much too high ISO. We then moved outside with some indirect sunlight so I could decrease my ISO.<br />
<br />
At any rate ... here are a few of my shots.<br />

I had a lot of fun shooting these photos. I hope I can get more portrait sessions like this. I felt comfortable with posing and instruction. She was very cooperative and a lot of fun to work with.</div>

The only rule was the photo had to be taken at sunset on the solstice.<br />
<br />
http://ricksammon.com/blog2/2013/11/21/announcing-international-winter-solstice-photography-day<br />
<br />
I thought this was an awesome excuse to go out and find the best place to take a sunset photo. I made a whole day of it. The winter solstice being just 2 days after my birthday, I thought I would just make a day with the family. We spent the day in San Francisco, doing cool things at Golden Gate Park. We ended the day at Treasure Island. Treasure Island is a small island in the bay about halfway between Oakland and San Francisco. You get to it via the Bay Bridge. I think it's technically part of San Francisco. It used to be a naval base, but was closed many years ago. It's now very rundown and reminiscent of a ghost town. We drove around the island checking it out. There are some wine tasting rooms, a marina, an RV storage, a small residential community, and a couple small parks. And a lot of rusty old buildings.<br />
<br />
it was a little weird being there. I could only imagine what it must've been like when it was an active base (if you ask my uncle, he could tell you. Apparently he was there for a month in 1967 when he was in the Navy).<br />
<br />
From Treasure Island there is a very awesome view of the San Francisco skyline. The bay bridge. On a clear day you can see the Golden Gate Bridge and the Richmond Bridge too. And Alcatraz looks like a hop, skip and jump from the island.<br />
<br />
There's a fantastic sculpture on the island. From photos it looks to be about 15 ft tall. But in reality it has to be 4 or 5 stories tall. This thing is phenomenal. It's huge. I was absolutely in awe.<br />
<br />

<br />
Anyway .... My plan/goal was to get a photo of the skyline with the setting sun. Hoping for a decent silhouette of the skyline. <br />
<br />
I took several (20 or so). I took lots with a starburst effect due to a closed aperture. I took some with an open aperture for a softer look. Ultimately I liked the starburst effect better.<br />
<br />
My favorite was one with some rocks from the Treasure Island shore in the foreground and the skyline in the background with a starburst sun behind a couple buildings (was hoping it would be behind Coit Tower, but it didn't happen). <br />
<br />

<br />
I was really pleased with this photo. Textbook silhouette landscape photo. Almost panoramic, but wasn't really.<br />
<br />
I am pleased to say that it won second place in the contest. :DAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16447760727419360984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931739776807081217.post-74511205356997606152013-12-17T10:30:00.000-08:002013-12-17T10:31:39.705-08:002013 Goal Recap and 2014 GoalsFrom this post here (<a href="http://captured-by-christine.blogspot.com/2012/12/2013-goals.html" target="_blank">2013 Goals</a>) I set my 2013 photography goals.<br />
<br />
Almost immediately into the new year I realized I wasn't going to reach one of my goals (Project 52), and that was OK with me. I watched a photography webshow that advised against doing a weekly/daily photo project. I agreed with their reasons and re-thought that goal. But I did, however continue to shoot photos of food and to try to improve that one area of my photography. But I didn't do it as a weekly project. And I think I learned more by not doing the project than if I had stuck it out.<br />
<br />
The other 2 goals - "Storytelling, make a book" and "Street Photography" I met to some degree.<br />
<br />
My goal with the photobook was to get the photos taken for the book. I still have a few more to get (office scenes and Christmas and a round of classroom photos). But otherwise I think I have enough to create a book. I took on new roles in the worship service at the church this year and that's prevented me from taking photos on Sunday mornings. But I'm still working on this and I consider this a goal achieved.<br />
<br />
My goal with street photography was to get out of my box and go do it. And I did. I was embarrassed and felt on the spot, but I did it anyway. I actually did it a few times at a local street fair. I didn't get into San Francisco for any street photography, but that wasn't part of my goal. My goal was to just get out and try it. And I did. I don't know that I like street photography that much, but I do believe that it has the ability to stretch me and grow me both as a person and as a photographer.<br />
<br />
Other photography milestones (for lack of a better word) met this year ...<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>bought a flash and started playing around with that</li>
<li>did a couple portrait sessions to work on portrait work</li>
<li>took official band photos for the church band</li>
<li>took photos for the end of the year slideshow for the preschool</li>
<li>went to an all-day photography class</li>
<li>signed up for Photoshop Creative Cloud (so I have full photoshop now for only $10/month)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>2014 Goals</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is hard because where I currently reside in my photography skillset, I'm not sure where I want to go and what's next and what's reasonable.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Definitely want to finish the <b>photobook</b>. </li>
<li>Take photos for <b>VBS </b>next summer</li>
<li>Get proficient enough with the <b>flash </b>that I can use it with minimal "guess and check." This requires LOTS of practice.</li>
<li>Save up for a buy a<b> new camera</b>. I feel like I've outgrown mine and want one that does better in low-light. I'm willing to buy used. I know what camera I want. Just gotta save up for it - cause they're expensive.</li>
<li>Go to another<b> photography seminar/class</b>. I'd like to hit up Joe McNally's <a href="http://kelbytraining.com/live/tours/the-joe-mcnally-one-flash-two-flash-seminar-tour/" target="_blank">One Flash, Two Flash </a>class if it comes near here. Other thoughts are a Lightroom or Photoshop class. But none of those are coming near me yet. I'll keep an eye out on them. I'll settle for an online class or two as well.</li>
</ul>

The whole time there I was thinking of Scott Kelby's Shoot Like a Pro tour and thinking of travel photography. What things are iconic. What are interesting. What tells the story. I don't know how successful I was as a whole, but I think a few moments I was pretty close. I think I'll take a stab and putting these in a mini photo book.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of my better shots.<br />

I was pleased that he gave us suggestions for flashes and things that won't break the bank. I was able to get a flash, a wireless trigger, and a softbox-tripod kit for less than $150. And now I've been playing with them.<br />
<br />
Due to our busy schedule, the only models available to me are my daughters after bathtime.<br />
<br />
These aren't going to win any awards and I won't ever put them in my portfolio. But I felt like I got a good start to shooting with a flash. I started by just shooting with some backlight and using the flash to brighten up their faces. But then when I wasn't content with it, I grabbed my reflector/difuser disc and put the black side on, put it on a chair, and had them sit in front of it. It worked well enough for my purposes. Couldn't do it all the time ... especially since you can totally see the wrinkles.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">One of the first I took. I think it's OK. I'm struggling finding good focus when working with a flash cause it's too dark for the camera to focus on it's own and my eyes suck. I think there might be too much shadow on the camera left side. She's not dark and mysterious enough for half-lit face.</td></tr>

My friend and I attended in Crockett, CA, which is underneath the Carquinez Bridge and home of the C&H Sugar Factory. It's a very old town, run-down in places, not yuppified.<br />
<br />
I was feeling totally uninspired. I took what I think are technically decent photos, but really struggled with any sort of creativity and something that would make me go "WOW!" (I really should go out and do photowalks more often so I'm not struck so blank when I go.)<br />
<br />
At any rate, here are some of the best of what I took.<br />

After watching <a href="http://scottkelby.com/" target="_blank">Scott Kelby</a> and<a href="http://www.mattk.com/" target="_blank"> Matt Klakowski</a> on <a href="http://kelbytv.com/thegrid/" target="_blank">The Grid </a> I decided to go ahead and really put some time and effort into my portfolio. To really narrow down what is in it and such. Even though I'm not really trying to be a professional (although I wouldn't mind some money on the side), a portfolio is a great way to really gauge your skills and improvement. By putting only my best 25 images or so in there and updating it when I get better shots, I'm able to say, "Hey! I've updated most of my images recently." or "Oooh ... I haven't shot anythign better than these and these are 5 years old." <br />
<br />
A portfolio is different than my flickr page. Flickr is for photo sharing. Where all my acceptable shots get placed for other people to see what we're doing, etc. To hold all the photos from a given event. But a portfolio is only my BEST shots.<br />
<br />
So ... without further ad ...<br />

20 years ago, before either of us knew the other one existed, he went through a dramatic and life changing event. That event has continued to shape and mold his personality and character. And has helped create the person you see in the above photos. I thank God that he survived that event. I thank God for the person he's become. And I pray that he continues searching for God and growing into the man God wants.</div>

I chose a day based on what my schedule allowed. The sky wasn't anything special that day. There was a grass fire a couple miles east of me, so the sky was hazy. But there were no storm clouds (I missed one heck of a lighting storm the other night ....) or anything spectacular. Living in a valley, however, I've not been able to watch sunsets regularly like I used to growing up. When I was in college I had a dorm room on the top floor of the tallest building on the hill looking west. It was an ideal sunset watching location. And I LOVED it. But the last 8 years or so have really been lacking in sunset availability. So any sunset is awesome in my book.<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
At any rate, I hopped in my car and drove to "my new spot." Got there in plenty of time. Due to high winds on this hill, I did not take a tripod. My tripod isn't very sturdy to begin with, let alone with high winds.<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
I was waiting for the sun to do it's thing. Got a couple "practice" shots in, set my exposure, got a feel for the location and waited. I sat down on the bench, facing east, and saw this. <br />

The slight hazy/smokey sky with the sun reflecting off it was pretty in and of itself. But the moon coming up just behind the clouds ... MONEY! I was excited to get it; kinda wish I noticed it a minute earlier when it was only half up. I've been aching for a decent moon photo for the better part of 6 months. I like this one enough to share it.<br />

<br />
I love sunrises and sunsets. I love seeing how the sky changes color. And how vibrant it can get. I love how the opposite horizon is affected as well. And how it's different EVERY time. No two sunsets or sunrises are the same.<br />
<br />
This time of year is great for sunrises. It's late enough in the morning that I don't have to get up at completely ungodly hours. It's still warm enough that pants and a sweatshirt are sufficient. The bay area gets some really iconic fog that makes for fantastic photos - especially with the sun reflecting off it or shining through it. <br />
<br />
We live in a valley and really can't see much of a sunrise or sunset. Gotta climb some hills to really get to a good spot to see one. Or stand on a freeway overpass.<br />
<br />
Friday morning came and I had totally forgot that I wanted to go. Annie came in the room at 6 and I remembered. The sun was starting to come up. I grabbed flip flops and Annie and we ran out the door and went to find a location. My first location was way up high on a hill. Unfortunately it was so foggy Friday morning that I couldn't see anything. I drove down the hill a tad and grabbed a couple shots, but was just barely on a shoulder of a 2-lane road and couldn't really stay there.<br />
<br />
So we drove some more. I saw a road go up a hill and decided to follow it. It went around a bend and at the top of the hill is a school. And a parking lot. And a small field that overlooks the valley. I parked and Annie and I both got of the out car and we watched the sunrise. It was fun. I got a couple decent shots - especially of a really thick patch of fog. But I felt like I missed the best part of the sunrise. So I decided to try again the next day. <br />
<br />
Saturday morning came and I couldn't sleep. I was afraid of missing it again. I grabbed my phone, my camera, my tri-pod and a soda and left. This time I took the time to get dressed. I drove off to the same place as the day before. I was up earlier and knew where to go, I was sure to get some better photos this time. Unfortunately, I didn't have the fog that I had the day before. So the photos weren't as mysterious and glowy. But the sun was neat.<br />
<br />
Watching the sunrise made me feel like the neighbor boy from The Incredibles. Mr. Incredible says, "What are you waiting for?" The boy replies, "I don't know! Something AMAZING!" Yeah ... that's how I felt.<br />
<br />
Stood there waiting. Snapping a photo here and there. Then watching and waiting. How was the light going to change? How were the clouds going to reflect the light? What color would it be? Will I get "God-Rays?"<br />
<br />
It was absolutely gorgeous. I loved it. Spectacular. <br />
<br />
I only hope my photos did it justice.<br />

(I'm struggling with editing/processing sunrise and sunset photos in LR. Trying to get the colors right and to get the right balance of light and dark. I tried a bracketed set for HDR, but it didn't work right. Also have a hard time remembering what the light looked like to properly process in LR.)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16447760727419360984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931739776807081217.post-48374015609765400792013-07-22T13:34:00.008-07:002013-07-22T13:34:58.009-07:00A little catch upIt's been awhile since I've updated in here.

I've shot fireworks for The 4th, more at 1st Wednesday, a baseball game, a small concert, and a church ice cream social.<br />

<br />
this park has a lot of old, rusty farm equipment. Not so fun for playing, but awesome for photography. There's also a barn that's open on the weekends that I hope to visit some day. And rolling hills and trees. Lots of photographic variety.<br />

Despite both subjects' protesting to be there, I think they turned out pretty good.<br />
<br />
Still working on figuring out the light reflector.<br />
And how to pose my subjects.<br />
<br />
But I'm pleased with these.<br />

<br />
There is a Flight 93 Memorial in Union City, CA. It's kind of in a random spot ... just at an empty lot at the corner by a bike path. We used to walk by it every day on our walks and we watched it get built. Each passenger on the plane has a stone on a pathway. There are three stones at the beginning of the pathway describing the memorial. At the end of the memorial is a flag that is surrounded by tiles painted by local elementary school students. <br />

I was nervous and excited all at the same time. <br />
<br />
We went to a park that had some great playground equipment, structures, trees, water feature, and light. <br />
<br />
Here are the best photos from the session.<br />
