  • Kimberly and Szymon's Cold Spring Harbor Engagement Shoot

    The lighting was all over the place, cloudy, sunny, contrasty, soft, and the wind seemed to come from every direction. All of which combined for a fun and challenging photo shoot. Variety is good. So is fast service. After the photo shoot I joked with Szymon and Kimberly that my nickname is "fast Dan." Considering the fact that I was able to have this blog and Internet photo gallery up within 3 hours, my nickname really fits.

    Here's a photo of the DVD with full size images I'm mailing to Kim & Szymon tomorrow.

    This image is an example of the effect photographers may achieve by properly exposing the subject, and underexposing the background. In most situations photographers try to balance the flash to the ambient light so that the flash fills in shadows, adds catch lights to eyes, and results in a pleasing photo that appears to be lit with only natural light. Tech: Nikon D3, Nikon 24-70, Nikon SB900 at plus one, Quantum Turbo SC. Fun stuff.
