Anna Closeup.

I took this picture while "warming up" my camera for a photo shoot with Anna.  She had just eaten, and was getting burped.  Julie and I loved the smile so much that I cropped the burp cloth out, to get this picture.

If you look close at her eyes, you can see my reflection in her eyes.

Chelsea

This is my cousin's daughter.  This photo was taken at my Grandma's funeral in November.  It was one of those photos where I had the camera ready to take when she turned around.  I must say, I really like the result!

Soarin' on Bald Mountain

This was taken the same weekend as the bird picture from last week.  We hiked Bald Mountain with the scouts in the Uintah National Forest, and this was the first reaction from one of the scouts.  You really felt like a bird when you got close to the edge of the cliff like this.

In the Wild

This was taken up in the High Uintas near Mirror Lake while camping with the scouts.  I didn't have my telephoto lens, so I had to do some severe cropping.  It'll probably never get enlarged but still a keeper!

Anna Beth

This is Anna.  She's my new favorite subject.  This was our third official shoot.  Even though she didn't give me any huge smiles, we did get this great shot.

Last 3th of July, we go together with the Hendersons, and I got out my camera. I usually don't like to push my camera to the highest ISO setting, as it usually produces undesired noise. But, it's the only way to get pictures like this!

Rattlesnake

I decided today that I would create a new blog to display some of my favorite pictures. What better place to start than with my most recent wildlife shot?

I saw this rattlesnake when I was camping with the scouts. I first saw it as it was coiling up, just a foot or two away from where I was standing a few minutes earlier. He hadn't said a word.

So, I shot it. Then I shot it.

For those of you who like to know all the specifics, I shot this picture on f/11 at 1/60 at 200mm. Since I didn't have my tripod handy, I used the burst method to get 10 semi clear photos, and one crisp photo. Some simple color correcting techniques were used to reproduce the true colors of the snake and its surroundings.

This photo was taken on the west side of Utah lake.
