We got there about an hour before sunrise… but this was a while later when the sun actually rose.
This moose came up pretty darn close to our group. If I weren’t in a group of about 20 people I probably would have scampered away like a scared little school girl. But I figured I was faster than at least a couple of people.
Lanscapes up in that area is pretty stellar (See Below)
Are they technically called “Formals” since the groom was there too? I’m not sure
But since I wasn’t going to be around for the wedding (conflict of weddings) while i was there I did these.
Yes I know… It looks somewhat fake eh?
We did shoot middle of the day because I went 4-wheeling later that day.
So I was happy for the chance to get into some shade.
I do like that she had these flowers… they look real don’t they?!
They really liked these types of plants… I thought they were awesome.
I put the f stop up high to catch a bit more of the sun and of course flash to light up the foreground (them)
Every month there is a group of photographers or aspiring photographers in Utah that get together and do a photoshoot. This is the location and event for october. My favorite 60
The rest of the photographers put their pictures here on flickr
Location: Gardner Village
Kids Dress up and parade around.
So do the moms!
So do the dogs apparently.
There is much joy and sweetness.
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.
Taken accross from the Timpanogas Temple. I was so amazed at the amount of families that showed up while we were there to take pictures. There was at least 5 groups at one point and they were constantly coming and going.
One thing that amazed me about how many people came is that the light was less than good.
That is why I was very happy to have brought a friend and my new favorite toy… my 42″ reflector. It worked wonders and brought my editing time down so dramactically that I almost didn’t know what to do. I had my same impulses to touch up and make the pictures better and unique, but most of the time I was grasping at the air… as there was little to improve.
If you are listening and you are a photographer don’t put off buying a reflector as long as I did… get one now! (And get a good one)
I took pictures of a couple at Thanksgiving Point on Monday.
When the couple I was taking pictures of left to go to a surprise party I stayed with the golf cart and drove around the gardens taking copious amounts of pictures.
And I have made a gallery.
