Fall in Ohio
Photographing portraits in Fall in Ohio! It is why we live in Ohio--Fall weather in October and the colors. Would consider this more of a landscape photo than a portrait as you want to get in really close for portraits. Yet, every once in a while I shoot some wide open like this!

Weddings Continue On!!
Enjoying the Fall season of Weddings here in Dayton Ohio. Most glorious time of the year for Ohio (in my opinion that is). I will post a new tip and some photos this weekend.

Canyon Glows Orange: Bouncing Light
Just got done with two more weddings and several portrait shoots! They were all a BLAST and the couples were awesome. Standby for a photo or two as I am finishing editing right now!
In the mean time enjoy this photo I took last year...photo is NOT color enhanced. This is what this canyon looks like underground after light bounces around orange rock and finally finds it's way down to the bottom.

Photo Tip #2: Turn the Camera "Crooked" for Variety
My previous photo tip #1 picture has something in common with this INFRARED photo of the Golden Gate bridge...they both are "crooked"!
Every once in a while turn your camera off angle and TAKE A "CROOKED" PHOTO!
Notice how the subject runs from one corner to the opposite corner as compared to the normal across the middle of the photo from left to right. This sometimes gives photos an extra "spark".
Words of warning: (1) Use discretely, no one wants to see this all the time (2) Make sure you have the subject go from corner to the opposite corner or the photo will really look "misaligned" and this effect will not work in my opinion.
Try it yourself at random times and you may be surprised at what you get!

Photo Tip #1: Don't Get Tunnel Vision
I really love this photo I took this month for several reasons, but will only focus on one aspect for my first tip. I consider this tip to be one of the most valuable ones I can give and I have benefited from it several times over my years of experience.
PAY ATTENTION to what is going on behind you.
People tend to relax and "play" when they think the photographer is not focusing on them. "Always turn around" constantly and be ready to snap a few quick photos. Don not get "tunnel vision" on the primary photo target. Notice the fun they are having and how it adds to this contemporary scene. I was actually taking photos of the bride in the other direction and simply turned around for a quick photo. I do this non-stop.
This photo just says PARTY to me and this group was a ton of fun!!! No posing required.
