Harrisburg MO SPORTS: (CLICK) GO DAWGS!!!!!!

A photo and lighting place! Here I'll post some stuff I've shot in the process of learning.

Mostly, I shoot with: Nikon D700 or my NEW Nikon D7000,

* Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 HSM-II (sports & portrait - SHARP!)
* Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 HSM (my fave),
* Sigma105mm EX macro (UBER sharp!), &
* My new Sigma 12-24mm EX HSM (WIDE!).

Other:
* Nikkor 70-300 f/4-5.6 VR HSM (pretty cheap, disposable, pretty sharp out to 200mm and a loooooong reach with a crop frame),
* Nikkor 60mm micro (sharp enough to hurt the eyes).

Flash stuff:
* 2 Nikon SB800 (with ttl cords),
* 4 Nikon SB-25/28s (old, manual, reliable, nice),
* 6 ancient Sunpak 611 flashes (really old, manual, reliable, nice) with big SLA battery packs for studio, tabletop macro and portraits
. (GN=168 = lotsa light for a $50 flash).
* Pocket Wizard and Yongnuo RF-603 radio flash triggers

And tons of stands, umbrellas, soft-boxes, mounts, hot & cold shoes, cords, pocket wizard radio triggers, reflectors, scrims, backdrops, adapters, snoots, grids, batteries , chargers, bags & cases, gewgaws, gimcracks, whatchamacallits, doohickeys, thingamajigs, whatnots, widgets, et cetera.

I love to shoot out on the street, but the technical aspects of photography/lighting are fascinating - and sometimes vexing. I am fortunate to shoot with motivated and inquisitive photographers.

I am available for portraits, senior photos & product photography on evenings and weekends.

Commercially printed copies (up to 24" x 30" of most photos seen here are available on high quality paper for framing.

The great outdoors

But first, to the street!

Had some time to kill while getting the oil changed Tuesday and while grilling some ribs Wednesday, so I thought I'd just get some shots where I happened to be.
