Last Saturday morning I got up nice and early with a buddy of mine to shoot. We were on location by 6:10 a.m. to catch the early morning light. I decided to go shoot over at Gascoigne Bluff. I haven't shot there in awhile and I know the light falls nicely through the trees. Well, when the sun rose it wasn't exactly as we hoped for, lending much more to cooler colors than warmer ones. However, the whole point of this particular shoot was to challenge myself. I get so bored of shooting the same old things with the same old style. I tend to shoot warm because that's what I like, but for these photos I played with a cooler approach and am pretty pleased with the outcomes. BTW, if you are confused in what I keep referring to as warm and cool, it can be basically summed up by the overall color tone of the photo... is it my sunny, vivid, orangey, or is it more cool, mystical and subdued...
I'm leaving this morning to make my way up to Atlanta. I have a wedding to shoot up there and am looking forward to going. I'm staying with a college friend and will be seeing a lot of old friends while I'm up there. Kelly is staying here, it's the release of the last Harry Potter book and she is enjoying that with a couple of girlfriends. I have borrowed a fisheye lens to play with at the wedding, I'm really excited.
Next weekend my parents have rented a house down in Captiva Island, FL, close to Sanibel on the Gulf side. We are going to go down there and enjoy the end of summer break. It should be a lot of fun as well.
If you like Jazz, check out Ronny Jordan. He's a lot like George Benson, with a little bit more Acid Jazz influence. I have been enjoying a lot of him lately. Alright, I'm out...
