Larry Miller Motorsports Park Photo Shoot

Posted Sun, 07/25/2010 - 09:22 by Eight Hour Lunch

Last night I wrapped up edits on a shoot I did at the Larry Miller Motorsports Park with BMW Motorcycles of Sandy, Utah. A few days prior to the shoot, I picked up a Cokin filter system and put it to good use right away. I was impressed with the new range of options open to me for portrait work. It was nice, for example to be able to shoot full sunlight without worrying how I’d balance the exposure between the sky and my subjects. Between the flashes, the graduated filter on my 18-200mm lens and talented models, there were plenty of great images to work with when I got home.

Busy Weekend

I said I was going to post nearly every Friday, didn't I? Maybe I should have gotten a grant first.

Last night, Heidi's brother got married. I took a ton of pictures, and spent the larger part of today editing and posting them. I had originally made it clear to everyone that I was cool with doing the invitations, but I didn't want to photograph the wedding. I'm still glad I said that. There's something inherently intimidating in knowing you're the only one getting the pictures of a group that you'll never be able to reassemble for a do-over. Still, as you'll see, I managed to get some great shots.
