Buy a Zebra
5. February 2012 by David.
If you like lines in your photos like I do the answer is to buy a Zebra.
Or at least visit them at the zoo.
The problem with animals is they move. The other problem is they don’t. I had to be very patient with this zebra as it walked around finally getting the right angle and a bonus of the lined shadows as a background.

Ready, Mr. Deville
3. February 2012 by David.
Went to Fresno’s Chaffee Zoo last weekend. Took a few animal portraits.
I think this little fellow likes to have his picture taken. When I first walked up he was in the water. He got out and walked along this log just a few feet away from me. Then he stopped and raised one leg, interesting action. He has a wonderful crown but didn’t seem to want to show it when I was ready to shoot. Oh well.

Sleeping
22. December 2011 by Friedhelm.
I was photographing in Yerba Buena Park in San Francisco. Several people were sleeping in the warm December afternoon sun. The light was actually not that great fro photography but when I saw the people walking by this sleeping gentleman I had to take the shot. I love the dynamic of this image. The resting guy in focus versus the walking people with the dog. The red hat just draws your eyes to the lower right side of the image.
Enjoy and keep on photographing!

Stanford University Senior Portrait - Annemarie
5. December 2011 by Friedhelm.
On Saturday I had the opportunity to photograph our daughter Annemarie. She is a senior at Stanford University. I don’t have to mention that we are very proud of her and I am looking forward to her graduation.
The campus provides great opportunities for photography and I truly enjoyed this photo shooting! Have fun with your photography!

Homeless in Merced
14. November 2011 by Friedhelm.
What do you see when you look into the eyes of this homeless woman. I see a lot of strength, determination, maybe some disappointments. She allowed me to photograph her and I used a 135mm prime lens at f2.8 to get this shot. In order to show her character I converted this image to a sepia tone.
By the way, she has a name and a story which is interesting to listen to. Have a great photographic week!

Robert W.
12. November 2011 by David.
I attended the annual Veterans Day Memorial Service in Chowchilla yesterday.
I focused on Robert, a friend of mine, member of the photo club and most importantly a veteran. He, members of the VFW and American Legion were the color guard at the memorial. No matter your politics you must give all members of the armed services their due. They go and have gone into harms way so we have the most imperfect and yet perfect form of government.

Anne - Fall Portrait 05
4. November 2011 by Friedhelm.
I asked Anne to throw the leaves up into the air. She did it faster that I expected. I still was lucky to get this shot.
Enjoy and happy photographing!

Anne - Fall Portrait 04
3. November 2011 by Friedhelm.
Anne grabbed a bunch of leaves and I asked her to hold them while I was photographing. It turned out to be a very nice image.
Enjoy and happy photographing!

Anne - Fall Portait 02
2. November 2011 by Friedhelm.
Anne posed for me in front of some gorgeous vines. The red colors also created a beautiful contrast to her blue skirt and her blue eyes.
Enjoy and keep on photographing!

Anne - Fall Portrait 01
1. November 2011 by Friedhelm.
The absolutely stunning Fall colors open up the opportunities for great portrait shots. I photographed Anne at different locations using mostly natural light and sometimes a fill-in flash. I photographed during the late afternoon and I adjusted the ISO setting on my camera since it got darker by the minute.
Enjoy the first image I like to share and keep on photographing!
