Here are some of my favorite photos from the group portraits session.  Some of these (mostly when it’s a group photo) were me “stealing” a setup that the official photographer had already set up.  Many of the shots with one or two people are quick shots I grabbed while others were being shot by the official photographer.  This is one of the reasons why people who have photographer friends are so lucky.  I was able to capture tons of shots that the photographer couldn’t because she just couldn’t be in two places at once.

And so the ceremony began, starting with the couples approaching the aisle. I was able to get some great shots because I was using both my Rebel XT and Rebel XTi with the EF 28-105mm (and the lens hood to help mitigate lens flare) on one camera and the Tamron 55-200mm on the other.  This allowed me to get close up shots no mater where the subjects happened to be standing.

This month finds me with getting two asian photos in my inbox from Photojojo.  Either an amazing coincidence or they have some great code going on the in background.  Interesting, the first one is a product of racism while the other is a product of love.

Jen was no where to be found at the wedding location because she was actually across the lake for her grand entrance.  None of the guests at the wedding knew about this so everyone was very excited.  I went on to the docks to photograph her entrance.

Just signed up for this neat flickr-related service, Photojojo’s Time Capsule.  Twice a month they send you some photos that you took a year ago.  Here are the photos from  my first email from them, it’s pretty neat.  If you want to see what it looks like in the email, go here.

Going over photos that were moving from one views group to another on flickr, I discovered this photo that I really love.  I love how his head is cocked, I love the idea of a bird with a built-in shovel, and I love how sharp the photo came out.

Our good friend Jennifer Bonass got married a couple weekends ago.  The wedding was out in Chestertown, Maryland - out near Ocean City.  Since there’s only one bridge to get there, we left early to make sure we’d get there on time.  We got there insanely early (1-1.5 hours early) so I decided to take some photos of the setup to pass the time.  Turned out to be a great thing I was there early because the official photographer was with Jen and they were at another location so I was the only one to get these shots.  Here are some of my favourites.

A while back I unveiled a web utility for telling when it was time to move a photo from one flickr views group to another.  It got tons of hits.  Then I switched my server and it all stopped working.  Beej had gone to a new framework for traversing the XML and had some problems porting it over.  Finally got everything fixed up over the weekend and I can come out with version 0.3!

I first mentioned my participation in the 365 project back in May.  Ever since then I’ve gone back and forth between filler photos and some of my best creative work.  I’ve been trying as much as possible to explore different techniques and try to be as creative as possible.  Here are my best shots since May.

Just like Dina, Daniel has a great smile.  This is pretty easy to capture because he’s almost always laughing.  He has a great attitude towards life and you can’t help but smile when you’re around Daniel.
