And Now For Something Completely Different…

While photographing models isn’t the norm for me, I thought it might be fun (and it was).  A fellow photographer contacted me a few weeks back about a “meet-up” with several photographers and models at Emerson Point Preserve in Palmetto Florida (just south of the Skyway bridge) where the Manatee River meets the Gulf of...

shannon - Both these and Emma are fantastic. Completely different types of fantastic but fantastic none the less! I love it! If you ever need another model, my daughter Whitney is awesome. She can be bathing suit amazing, elegant, work with pets or down and dirty working with construction equipment. She does sport/athletic, swimsuit and hair photo shoots mostly these days. She wouldn’t want anything ever from you with the exception of a pic or two possibly. I’d hook you up! Love getting the emails with the latest blog! Shannon:)August 2, 2010 – 7:28 am

Laurie Meehan-Elmer - Thanks a bunch Shannon! I’ll certainly keep Whitney in mind. How old is she?August 2, 2010 – 6:18 pm

Living In Florida Doesn’t Suck!

I spent Sunday evening walking North Beach at Ft. Desoto park.  The tide was low enough that I could walk all the way around the tip and back over the mud flats.  The hazy sky in the West, filtering the late day sun, made for some beautiful light, especially looking back towards a very different...

Ed - Laurie, you don’t do yourself justice with the “Photographer” title you are truely an artist and the Nikon is merely a brush!
What beautiful shots! (the fact that I’m commenting on these two shots and not the models makes me sad in a way. I’m getting old)

Got a chance to pick up a D2Xs from a`wedding photographer in Miami who had just upgraded to a D3S and needed cash. Now I’ll unload my D70s and the kit lenses which I haven’t used since I got decent glass.

If you have a list of basic settings you can suggest for the D2 I’d be thankful if you’d pass them along. I’m really happy with it, much more so than my D300 It’s really user friendly and the transition is easy from the 70 > 300 > D2Xs thanks to Nikon engineering.

Hi to Dave and a pet for Nikon!

LME - Thanks Ed! Congrats on the D2X. It’s a great camera! Even though I have the D3S, I still use the 2X regularly. As for settings…it all depends on the subject and how you want to interpret it. There’s no right or basic settings. If you can narrow it down to a specific type of shot, I’m happy to share how I would approach it.August 1, 2010 – 3:56 am
