A week or so ago Perry Alliman and I shot photographs of the Dale County Horse Show in Ozark, AL. It was a great time and I really enjoyied the learning experience of shooting horses and the challenge of the environment. The light was constantly changing and we had to adjust to optimize the shots. We shot a combined total of 2000+ shots!!!

Check out the results of our combined (and greatly distilled) work here: http://allimanphoto.smugmug.com/Other

Finally! I’ve updated the site with galleries form recent wedding shoots. I’ve had so much fun shooting these so far this year. I suppose that it can truely be said that 2009 is the year of the wedding shoot for me. Check them out here. Thanks to all my wonderful friends and family for asking (read: “letting”) me shot your events. A very special thanks to Dani Snell (danisnell.com) for advising me and to Perry Alliman (allimanphoto.com/) for helping me out in too many ways to recount! 

Enjoy! (and please leave me some feedback)

Since the recent aquisition of a new high-power tele-zoom lens I have become much more interested in photographing wildlife. I find it both challenging and rewarding. 

Check out my All NEW wildlife photos page.

On a side note identifying birds can be even more challenging than photographing them. I never realized how many species are distinguishable by only the most minute of details. I stumbled upon this while attempting to ID this bird-of-prey, which I believe to be one of two types of hawks resident to SE Alabama, but I don’t have a trained eye for ID-ing birds. 

Thanks for reading!

New photos are up here.

Enjoy!

I am about 50% done with the updates to the site. Only thing is the last 50% was the easy part. Now I have to get the content in place. What you see is in full working order except for the faq’s page, I think. 

Lots of my favorite pics to come in the next week or two. Hope you enjoy the ride!

Greeetings! So I have decided to re-organize this site to present a more balanced and professional representation of who I am as a photographer. As many of you know I take a Wide variety of shots and like being a generalist as well as a specialist. I think this will lend better to the diversity of my work. 

That being said… changes forthcoming.

I’ve made a few choice updates to the site these past few weeks.

I moved the proofs to my new storefront on instaproofs.com. Working with this system has been pretty spectacular.

I also revamped my tabs and the prints page. Take a look around and enjoy!

This past week I have been working on editing recent shoots including the Fort Rucker Fall Soccer Green Lizards shoot now showing in Proofs.
I have also been working on the photos from my Destin, FL Trip as well as a fun shoot of the dragonflies playing in our backyard.

I’m now taking pics for regular updates to the SnapShot LemonLot on GoMotherRucker.com. I placed a community ad at GoMotherRucker.com on the Get Connected! page.  

For next week I will be working on the Parcours Lake Shoot and adding scripture to some of my shots. Stay tuned!

Photos from the recent shoot: Green Lizards Soccer Team

are now on the proofs page for viewing. Enjoy!

This year’s Photokina Show is taking place in Cologne, Germany  Sept. 23 – 28, 2008. Obviously, the show is already underway at the time of this writing. Important announcements include: Nikon 50mm f/1.4 Nikkor AF-S Nikkor Lens due out in December, Tokina has announced that it will add a line of lenses with Nikon AF-S motors, and the META Working Group has announced it’s first guidline for photo meta data. Unfortunately, Nikon is not a collaborator of this group for some reason. 

Coverage of the new Nikon D90 is available at kenrockwell.com, dpreview.com, and www.photokina-show.com. From the sound of some recent reviews out there, the D90 may be better than Nikon’s year-old predacessors the D300 and D3 which sell for as much as 5 times what the D90 is retailing at.

Coverage of Photokina 2008 is also available from kenrockwell.com and dpreview.com .
