As some of you know my wife is 39 weeks pregnant and due to have our baby boy on 5 May. Took some photos in Seal Beach this evening at sunset. I went into the shoot wanting to get a silhouette of her as the sun set in the background. Shot in shutter priority, 1/160, ISO 200 and did some quick adjustments in PS. I'm pleased with the result:




Chris' G35 Coupe

Had the pleasure of shooting Chris' IP Coupe. We recently completed our OEM Emblem-less grills so it was time for a photo shoot. Found a nice location down by the Queen Mary ocean liner in Long Beach. Had great views of the water and the downtown Long Beach skyline. Thanks again Chris for giving me the opportunity to shoot your sweet ride!












New lens, new capabilities!

I've been trying to shoot birds and wildlife with my 18-200VR lens, but 200mm just isn't long enough. I got a Nikkor 300mm f/4 AF-S IF-ED telephoto lens this week. Here are some test shots I took within hours of getting the lens. I plan on getting a 1.4 TC which will make this lens 420mm f/5.6. Love the lens so far!

Alan's 2nd Gen G35 Sedan

Had the opportunity to shoot Alan's 2nd Gen G35 sedan. Started a bit before sunset and shot a few after it was dark. Shooting location afforded the opportunity to shoot shots with various backdrops. This guy that owns a G37 stopped and talked to us, he was drooling over Alan's wheels/BBK. Thanks again Alan, your ride looks great.









Road Runner Feeds on Lizard

Was at Pepperdine University for a meeting and a Road Runner appeared outside the window. During the break I nabbed a few shots of this beautiful bird with lunch in his mouth. I really need a longer lens to get in close to birds, may pick one up soon and do some more bird photography.




Dave's G35 Coupe

Photo shoot of Dave's Ivory Pearl G35 Coupe. He spent 3 days detailing it, so clean! Photos taken a little before, during and after sunset. More pics HERE.
