I thought I liked the cold color one a lot… but I changed my mind and now I like the warm colors more… you?
PROVO PHOTOGRAPHY MEETUP GROUP
See the rest of the pictures from the group here on flickr
This was my first experience with this group.
It was a tough shoot because of how dark it was outside.
I spent most of the evening trying to help some of the other photographers get good pictures, because I love doing that and I think it’s even more fun.
But for a good 20 minutes or so I was taking pictures.
It’s late and I’m just now going through them… so I’ll post one now and a bunch later.
This one embraces the feeling of the night.
Kids Dress up and parade around.
So do the moms!
So do the dogs apparently.
Lots of witches… some are drunk flying.
A little of subject but I liked it.
This one is totally on topic!
Walking around in a sea of people with kids and adults dressed up in a scenic location with festivities and the expectation from people that they’ll probably get their pictures taken is totally my element.
But i also can do the other pictures while I’m at it I suppose.
Hanging out with lots of other photographers is always a plus.
And I got to randomly see old friends I haven’t seen in many many a year.
I took this picture then realized that i was still on the settings from a previous shoot.
Sad… but I didn’t erase the dark pictures.
And when I got home I looked at those pictures and in Lightroom
I thought: “Why not give it a shot”
I raised the exposure +2.5 and added 29 fill light.
And on second thought things turned out just fine.
I’ve decided that I prefer erring on the side of too dark than too light.
Specially with the new cameras.
It made the backgound in this picture noisy, but it really works for this style. And I decided not to even run a noise reduction on the picture or do anythign besides up exposure…. Fun stuff!
And I suppose it’s hard to even see the noise when the picture is as small as it is on the blog.
I decided that if anyone wants to invite me to go jetskiing or boating, In return I’ll take some rockin’ pictures.
I’ve never been out on a boat taking pictures but this was a blast. And I even bought a watertight bag to make sure my thousands of dollars of equipment is dry when needed.
Then i handed my bishop the camera and jumped in myself.
He has some training (I taught him a lesson a while back) and has used an SLR.
Besides I set all the settings and just said click away!
This is me… ummm… diving into the water. I totally meant to! 
Me… I debated putting up the black and white because as you can tell from other pictures… look how blue the water is. It’s a very unique blue at bear lake. I’ve never been there before. Very nice.
One of my roommates went along as well. Jared
Here’s a series of more tubing pictures. Staring Marta. She’s a lot of fun and from Mongolia.
She’ll get upset that I’m putting so many pictures of her on the blog…. so that’s why I did it. To tease her, and because they turned out awesome!
What a cool shot! They were pretty far out there… that’s when the 200mm 2.8 comes in handy
This is where we camped… things were starting to get colorful up in Logan canyon.
Here’s one in the early morning
We weren’t able to camp too close to the cars… but there were little carts like this to facilitate things.
I’m very proud of my wonderful Costco Tent. It’s 2 rooms with a cool entry way canopy.
I’m not really the roughing it kind of camper. I like camping. I just like to have a lot of stuff with me.
Any camping event is not a success without a fire!
And then some crazy people decided to jump said fire.
Wait that’s me!
Others jumped it more often.
And we got a little carried away with piling wood onto the fire.
And yet sean continued to jump if we even mentioned it.
Just don’t land in the fire and you should be alright.
That’s my hand!
I found that when a fire is big enough it lets off a lot of light!
Fun subject and a good beard makes for a good portrait.
Football and a chinese hat… they go together don’t they?
Another picture of my fun Mongolian friend.
She taught me how to say “Your pants are on fire” in mongolian… but I’ve since forgotten.
I must learn that sometimes when they know you’re taking a picture the pictures can still be fun.
Tender moments.
It was mainly Young Single Adults… but sometimes you can’t go unless you bring your younger brother to babysit.
I love this picture because this was my bishop playing hearts with us. I got up and snapped a picture of the fun event. He apparently really really loves playing hearts. I should teach him the real partner game! Pinochle
Morning. Dousing the once-raging fire from the night before.
This is a picture of whatever you want it to be… I can’t really remember the moment that was going on here.
Looks good though.
When I go to parties my contribution is a few pictures.
Some friends were doing slip and slide… this is what happened before i had to put the camera away because… well I was busy going down the slide myself.
As a side note I should post pictures from a bunch of other shoots I’ve done recently… including the sego music festival that took place yesterday.
Before liftoff!
Making sure they don’t lift off.
A lot of people come for the bright colored Balloons…
Or for the Fire
Contained fire… sorry to disappoint.
I enjoy seeing the mass of people and the human interactions.
Lotsa pointing going on.
A couple of Notes
I walked up and down the route of the parade with my new fun lens.
Let me just tell you it’s much better than standing (or sitting) in the same spot for the whole parade.
It’s also nice to only live 3 blocks from the parade route.
ALSO… having a 70-200 2.8 makes a parade much more enjoyable.
I took a ton… but I’ll just post a couple of them here.
If you think I took a picture of you I can get you a link to the full gallery online.
I took my second camera with the wide/medium zoom but I hardly used it… I suppose it was still useful to make me look semi-important. haha
I also hung out with a friend Gordon who was shooting pictures for the Freedom Festival magazine.
Now for the FUN part… Let me tell you a STORY
Let’s start this off on a patriotic note!
Not as many flags but still as cool.
But don’t worry these kids had flags to spare.
These things were all over the place
… I meant the snapper things.
But yeah kids too!
More kids… some sat, some stood, others… they were more squatters.
And they liked to point at stuff

From the 4th of July Fireworks earlier tonight
Straight from the camera.
Don’t have time to edit… so I’m just tossing them straight online.
Here’s the deal on these pics…
Take them, use them, just don’t abuse them.
My pictures are meant to be seen…
However, I do enjoy knowing where they go.
If you need larger… they’re stored somewhere else online, i can get you the gallery location if you want.

Nocturnus : A Waking World Production
A few hours on the set of the psychological thriller Nocturnus.
This is the first time I’ve taken pictures on a movie set
It was pretty fun,
I spent a lot of time just testing things out
since the lighting was much different than things I usually do.
