Ha, ha, ha! This shot just makes me smile. I was running a test roll through the Contax G1 with my new favorite portrait lens. The Contax G1 is a little finicky with the 90mm but the results are well worth the hassle. I'm really looking forward to making some great portraits with this lens.

We'll be doing a portrait session soon, if you'd like to get in on that with us please let us know.

Portraits out in the back yard at the end of the day with great light. Kodak Portra 400NC is one of my absolute most favorite films. This is the look I go for when shooting digital. The saturation level is just right, the skin tones are perfect, just an all around great portrait film.

We'll be planning another portrait outing soon at either Duke Gardens or the NC State Arboretum. If you are interested in joining us please let us know and we'll keep you up to date on when we'll be heading out.

spring walk on the trail

The kids and I went for a long spring walk on the trail in our neighborhood. The pollen is out in force now and everything has that yellow-green coating on it that is part of the few short weeks of spring in NC. This grass in one of the bordering yards to the trail was so plush and green and looked like the perfect spot to get a picture of a couple of the kids.

I think this location would make for some great portraits in the future as long as people are willing to walk a couple of miles to this location. So, probably not a customer friendly spot like the NC Arboretum is!

More shots from April are available here.
