I had about 15 minutes to run around and play with a tilt shift lens today, I sucked pretty hard at trying to figure it out in that amount of time but at any rate i saw a guy on the steps and gave it a shot!

Its the lighting stupid!

An awesome video showing, for those of us who cant afford all the best camera/lens equipment that LIGHTING is the key, not cameras, so don't get discouraged and try your best!

I was trying to light the subjects while still being able to capture the 4th of July fireworks going off in the background. Kinda sorta worked and I'm happy about it. Thanks! :)

A good friend from high school of mine asked if I would take his pictures of his wedding invitations, of course i said yes. It turned out being 101 degrees that day and the only time they had free was at 12 noon, so needless to say we did a re-shoot and here is one of them. Thanks for reading :)
