Sunset from Utah Lake via Vineyard

Went down to Vineyard around 5pm tonight and found a road that went all the way down to the lake (almost). Took a few minutes to catch the birds flying around in the reeds. These are all handheld at f4 ISO 800 at anywhere from 1/250-1/60 of a second. The square one is an attempt to save a mediocre photo. When in doubt, crop it, square it, vignette the heck out of it.

Shots of the Tanner Building

Just went out and took some shots of the tanner building for the MBA newsletter. We've had some great light and some great clouds that made for some fun colors.

1934 Ford 3 Window Coupe

Kelly Kirkpatrick let me take pictures of his black 1934 Ford 3 window custom coupe. This ride is pretty sweet. This was a grass farm out in Vineyard. The farm manager was nice enough to let me shoot. Thanks again to Rudy for being the come-with guy and taking shots of his own. Thanks to Kelly for having an awesome car! The light was great, millions of mosquitos not so great.

Orem Orchard Photos

It's a goat on a donkey! The little goat just hops on and off the donkey like nothing. It's pretty darn funny.

Found an orchard in the middle of Orem today. I met a nice family and they let me shoot around their house. These spring colors are just amazing out here and I've never had a chance just to shoot them with no pressure to publish. I know the tilt-shift might be getting a little gimmicky, but I'm trying to learn how/when to use it most effectively.

New Toy: Tilt Shift Lens

Just got a 24mm f3.5 tilt-shift lens. I got yesterday but was so busy with last minute school stuff that I couldn't play with it. Here's what I did around school today. This is the Tanner Building at BYU.

Bloom

I had to get out and enjoy the spring bloom. This is the first time I've shot flowers up close like this. It was kind of fun! I used my 135mm f2.0 on my 7D. Everything was shot wide open in Raw mode. These will make great desktop backgrounds (I need more of my own). Let me know if you'd like some sized for your computer.
