I took some pictures of my colleague, his wife and his new born son. They like the rustic feel of St. Augustine, so that was the venue of our choice. The evening sky was scattered with light patchy clouds making for ample diffused natural light. These are the three best shots.       Disclaimer: The above shots are the three best according to the photographer. The Mommy really likes this

I wont go crazy like the last wedding post with too many pictures. Here are the three best from the shoot. The last one has to be one of the better portraitures that I have shot. She is the sister of the groom and was one of the bridesmaids.

I tried the antique look again. This time on a picture of my cousin on her wedding day with her husband and baby. The first picture is the original, the second is cross processed using nEO iMAGING. I havent bought the software yet, so you will notice the software's signature on the top left corner. The third picture is a sepia tone. I work with Picasa (because it is free), and have just done the

I tried this effect after reading legnett's cross processing here: link Not having photoshop, I only combined the sepia tone with the original. I like this effect better than just a sepia (which steals all the colours) or just the original. It gives the picture an antique look and softens the mood a bit. To this very picture, it softens the colours in the frame enough to keep the smile as

  My first attempt at photographing a wedding. It was the perfect wedding to photograph. Everything was well planned, no last minute stresses and the bride and groom were the happiest people in the room all day. The day started off pretty cloudy but they moved away fast revealing bright blue skies and a few fluffy clouds.     The bride-to-be looking at the decorations for the first time in

He said he was only 15 yrs old and had been doing this for the last four years. These street performers bend the truth a lot but there was a certain truth in his claim when I asked him point blank after the show. He got a fat tip that evening from someone who did not have to gather a crowd and toss fire around to make a bit of extra money at age 15.

I am really bad at names but I dont think I took this gentleman's name. He is one of the photographers who was present at the Langford Photo Shoot and willingly volunteered as a subject. This particular picture stood out for me because of the light glow on the left side of the face while the other side is darker. The background on these two sides contrast the exposure with the dark green and the

The girlfriend of one of the attendees to the photo shoot at Langford Park, she ended up being the female subject thanks to her dark hair. We got to experiment a lot with her position with respect to the sun and her position with respect to the kind of background. This one stood out the most for me. The sun is to her right, her hair is glowing and the background makes her stand out. Flash: not

An exoskeleton to a building seemed to be quite the trend in London. I have a picture of another one.

The wedding had fireworks, a present from the newly wedded husband to his lovely wife. She only asked for a few 'rockets'. The clear summer night sky was set ablaze with a stunning display of fireworks for a straight twenty minutes. So much for a few rockets!I will be posting regular pictures once my UK series gets over. I took over 1300 pictures during a span of six days. A few more weeks before

This is the location of the wedding that I attended during my short stay in UK. I think it is an 11th century barn. Located in the 'Downs' in Sussex it is only a few kilometers from the English Channel. This is a very expensive and historic part of Sussex. All the houses in this area are listed. I take the credit for the clear skies and a steady 20 degree Celsius to 25 degree Celsius during this

You know it is England when you go out for a walk and it leads you to a footpath that goes through a rolling hill and a pretty lady on a horse back passes by. This location is about a 15 minute walk from where my Uncle and Aunt live in Lewes, Sussex. Find the entire Lewes series under the tag, 'Lewes'.

This was taken under the Dames Point Bridge on the way to the Dames Point Park. You can see the suspended part at the end of the pillars. It rained real heavy that day so there are no more pictures of the beautiful bridge. More on the way.

Roses and Lilies get too much screen time. These are tiny weeds that people usually walk over. I think they have equal potential.

I stopped for gas in an obscure little exit on I4 on my way back from Orlando International Airport. Dotted with construction, the two things of interest in this little exit were the $2.81 per gallon gas station and this barbecue joint. I search for local food to get an insight into the local culture. You learn an awful lot about people by eating their daily food. Next time, I will plan to be

These are from the same shoot as the earlier post. I just wanted to keep the flowers separate from the roofs and skies. These flowers grow on the vines around the tennis court right outside my apartment.

I should be carrying my camera with me when I take Laya out for her morning walk. I had to hurry back and leave her in the bedroom to take these pictures. She did not like it! These are pictures of a heavily humid Florida summer morning. I had to keep rubbing the condensed mist off my lens, but I still managed to get a natural 'glow effect' with the little bit of condensation between shots. You

I really need to get out in the sun and look around for inspiration. This is the best I could do at 11:50 pm in the night. The pictures do look a little tired and exhausted, just like I feel right now. Then you may ask why I am awake this late? The answers we give are only as good as the questions asked!

Sometimes, it is nice to slow down, throw those anchors out and just soak in the moments. I spend all my time rushing between timelines and deadlines, between home and work. Working late today, I decided to take it easy, let the mind relax and took a break at this coffee shop close to work. It is not a chain of shops and has a very homely atmosphere. People sitting outside, vegged out and relaxed

I went on my first photoshoot with a professional photographer. This is one the the many pictures I took. I think with macro photography, I like roof lines against beautiful skies too. This image has not been adulterated at all other than the polarizer usage.

These are the last batch of the flood of pictures of Ottawa. these are pictures of a quite little coffee shop outside the US consulate owned and operated by Patricia Penzin-Carisse (Pat).
