zoo

Autumn had to shoot pictures of animals for her photojournalism class, so I went with her to the zoo. I didn’t get many good frames, but it was still a really fun experience.

This tiger was the saddest thing I had ever seen. He had worn a path around his pen, but it wasn’t just a muddy streak, it was paw prints. He walks the same steps over and over and over and over. It was absolutely tragic.

A Cincy Wedding

The light in the hotel was fantastic for a few portraits.

The view from the bride’s bedroom was stunning. I took two versions of this photo, one with the background in focus and one with her silhouette in focus. I like this one better.

This photo is an almost, I think. It’s too dark. I wanted to capture the hands and the feet in the black, but I think it needs a touch more light. Perhaps toning could help.

This was my first attempt to use flash. It took a bit to get used to.

This was a fun idea. We took the bride to a bar, and yelled for everyone to toast to her. I’m disappointed that this came out so dark, but I think toning might help.

These shots were my idea. When we came out after the wedding, I saw a firetruck and an ambulance right across the street, lights flashing. I grabbed Christina and we threw Nick and Casey between them.

And then, of course, there is the cake.
