Harley in the park

A month ago we learned of a local bartender at the Iron Horse Cantina who had a motorcycle accident. The Iron Horse conducted an auction to help defray the considerable medical expenses and we decided to donate a portrait session and wall enlargement for the auction.

We're really happy with the results and doubly excited that we got to photograph some motorcycle pictures. For our session we went to Garden of the Gods just before sunset and rode through the park, just enjoying the perfect day. Some tourists in the park even asked to get their picture taken with our subject!

Here are a few of our favorite images...hopefully you'll get to see them a the the Iron Horse before long too!

Cool night shots

I had a chance to do a little real-estate photography again and once again our super-cool evening shots were requested to blow the socks off potential buyers of this great property (hint hint..hahah).

Anyway, this one was a bit of a challenge with the background being west with the setting sun, the sky was too bright and when we toned it down, the yard was too dark. Here's what we had:

One of my friends from the Christian Photographers Guild told me about some interesting high dynamic range photography techniques and I thought I'd give it a try and behold...a terrific creation!

I'm excited to get to use this more with future commercial work!
