Yet another Thiller dance Video

OK, I Know I've posted a thriller video before from a wedding(I think)but this is so funny! This is a group of prisoners from the Philippines doing the thriller dance. I got this from Liana's Blog and I just needed to repost. The one playing MJ's girlfriend cracks me up.

Dog Whisperer

Ok you are probably like, What! Dog Whisperer. While it all started a few weeks ago when a very sweet person by the Jen somehow became one of our friends on our Myspace. She tried so hard to help Kate out in getting a Bagpiper for my grandfather's B-day with out even knowing us. While Jen is really into photography and has a good eye for it. She was freaking about a gig she has coming up in the near future and has just changed over to digital. Jen has shoot weddings as a second shooter for other photographers but they refused to teach her. I messaged her and invited her along to a small wedding I was shooting last week, I gave her a crash course on her top LCD and explained the buttons(I hope I didn't hurt your head). While Jen came along and did great job. The day after the wedding I showed her how to import into Lightroom. While we were doing this Kate and I learned Jen knows her stuff about dogs (that's where the Dog Whisperer thing came in) and she said she will help us out with training. How cool!

Here is a self portrait of us at the wedding

Lissa and Jason "Into the Woods"

Last week we shot a wedding at Camp Kiwanee in Hanson, MA. The camp was a girls camp were Lissa went when she was a kid. Now the camp has been turned into a function hall, how cool is that, Lissa got married where she had so many memories as a kid and now made a new memory as she starts her life with her husband Jason.
If you would like to see the rest of the photos head over to Pictage and sign up to see them when they are released.

News from the Darkside

While, the Rumors were true. Nikon released the D3 with a full frame senor and the d300 at a press conference earlier today. All the info is up on Nikon's site. The D3 is going to have a full frame 12.1 CMOS sensor and it has a normal ISO range of 200-6400 in 1/3 step increments, and an extended ISO range of ISO 100 - 25,600. I know alot of people are like WHAT? while this camera rocks and can shoot in low light(Church light and dark reception halls with little to no flash) There is so much more but you don't want to hear me go on about this so check out the specs below it you want more info go to.

Check back tomorrow I'll have some photos from last weeks wedding.

Learning

The one thing that everyone must do, in any industry is learn. To get anywhere you must learn and keep learning no matter what. You don't always need to go and get a formal education, you can learn by read books, surfing the net, going to seminars, or better yet watch videos.
I've followed a photographer from CA by the name of Joe Photo for a long time now and feel I need to thank him for all I have learned(both photography stuff and much more)just by checking his blog. Joe has a new video out that follows him around as he shoots weddings and he did commentary explaining what he was doing. I can't go out and get this just yet but I will be putting it on a wish list for Xmas and when I do get it I will post again and let you know what I think(I know I'll love it)

Check out the trailer







Stephanie's Slide Show











We're back

Ok, everyone I'm sorry I haven't done any posting in a while. The past week I was up in New Hampshire with the fam along with my Mother older bro, his wife and their kids. My brother and his family moved down to Virgina for a job and came up to hang out. Our 2 girls had a great time seeing their cousins and can't wait to do it again. We all spent sometime, at the beach, out moose hunting(not really hunting just looking) and a day at Santas Village.
While up in NH I had sometime to get a good amount of work done so check out the Senior Session Slide Show in my next post.

Here is a couple of photos from the point shoot from the week.
