Just a Short blog this week

Been busy this week with Family pictures. Got all the picture orders in for the SAFE deadline for getting them back before Christmas.

I'm working on redesigning our website, looking to add the ablility to purchase ART prints as well as your wedding pictures and other portraits a little easier. I also like the new format a little better, It'll be hard to give up the site as it is now since I did design it from stratch.

The new format will probably be in place sometime in January 2009.. Something to look forward to.

I've also started work on some HOW TO articles for the hobby photographers out there. Be looking for articles on Nature Photography, Macro Photography, Steroscopic Photography, Panoramic Photography, Night Photography, and might even throw in some usefull hints on doing portraits of your loved ones. They will be geared towards the DSLR's of today, but also will have some hints for the person that just has a simple point and shoot camera.

Given the free time I'll also included some locations around Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky that are great to photograph.

I can't wait for warm weather again to get outdoors again with my camera

Burr.... The snow made for a fun wedding day... Cincinnati was covered in a fine dusting of snow, just enough to make the grass white. Everyone was in a good mood dispite the weather. The wedding went well, This was one of the rare ones where we were not allowed to use flash, and even more difficult due to the fact that we were limited to the very back of the church for the wedding it's self. Dispite this limitation, we had the equipment and training to get very good photographs of the wedding. I'm glad for Canon "L" glass... the reception was a blast, good food, fun, friendly people. It was a pleasure shooting this wedding, The pictures are posted online for the couple and their guests to view in under a week, which is our goal to have them done before the next event we have to do.

Cincinnati has somevery interesting people, and places to photograph.

Gearing up for Winter Weddings

With November behind us, we are preparing for a good winter. Several wedding are planned and it will be a busy winter. Hopefully the winter will be mild and all the guest from out of town can make it in for their weddings. Doing some Christmas photographs along the way for Christmas cards.

Also starting on work for a brand new web site that will fully intergrate ordering pictures and make it easier for customer to select their images for their packages as well as guest to order.

Also considering adding some add on things for weddings. Perhaps a Photo Area, where your guest can go to pose for a formal or silly formal portrait that will include a backdrop and professional lighting, so you can have a professionally lit picture of your guest. More on this later, I know the way I wrote that up had to be confusing.

I'm also debating on adding Steroscopic portraits (3d) to packages, just not sure how this one will go over, since most people require a viewer to view steroscopic pairs. They are neat, but might be really involved.

Look for these things and more in 2009...
