Super Dyer Bros. DC Adventure!!

Pictures. Pictures. Pictures. Pictures. I have TONS after today’s adventures with my brother in DC. Yes, he shoots Canon gear but I never let that hold me back from taking a better picture with my Nikon glass… I mean from letting him tag along! lol. xD

So without further ado, I present to you, DC.

(below are TWO sets of pictures. One is done with my D90. The second set is pretty much a walk through of the day via my Hipstamatic awesomeness.)

AS ALWAYS… ENJOY! xD

Every photographer should practice!! :)

Here are my two practice shots from tonight. Thank goodness my brother is a good sport!!

 

 

 

 

These were both shot with two SB600s. I love using one just to create dramatic lighting and the second to add natural vignetting to a background (as opposed to the vignetting I added on top of that in PP). One light lighting is always fun. Thanks to my last blog post’s inspiration last night for tonight’s blog post :D

On a weird side note, I’m really oozing with some great concept shot ideas right now so look forward to some interesting experimental shots in the future :D


A few more favorites from the Bannerman wedding… (900 down, 1600 to go!!)

Since no one can read this post until I take the password off, I’ll just type crazy things to myself… lol.

A few more favorites from the 400 I sorted through tonight. Enjoy :D

Ah, there ya go. Goodnight all :D


A few more from the Bannerman wedding!

These will be taking over my blog for a while but here are a few favorites from tonight’s edits…

A lot of these shots were made with the 70-200 that I just bought and a lot of the shots were made at impossible speeds. I was hand holding 1/20s shots with very little issue. That piece of machinery amazes me. :)

I shot everything in the reception hall @ 800 ISO so I apologize for the noise. I’m looking into some denoising programs.

Makes me wanna dump my D90 for the D7000… I guess I need to sell my Tamron 70-300 and Tokina 50-135 now. Maybe I should throw the Tokina 11-16 in that pile and pick up the 14-24… tempted…


2nd shooting… for my brother!!

I was busy all day 2nd shooting for my brother who booked his first wedding (I’m so proud!!)

Here’s a quick shot with my brother IN the shot lol. Pictures to follow…

All of my pictures from this wedding were made possible by the magic of this beauty:


A post about food!? Dominos pizza FTW!!

After reading my brother’s post (here) about his dinner, I decided to take a picture of a little “something, something” that I ordered tonight… In my area there’s a coupon for 3 medium unlimited toppings (really it’s ten; ask me how I know lol) for $7 each. Bangin’ deal!!

Enjoy the pictures and don’t drool on your keyboard too much :D
