ShutterbugTim - November 29, 2006 - 8:23 PM

Looks like you’re having so much fun with your new lens! I hope all is well. I had another bout of vertigo the past couple of days. It wasn’t too pleasant! Please say hi to Mark.

Borelfoto - November 29, 2006 - 8:45 PM

Tim ,thats awful having Vertigo! I saw that old Alfred Hichcock film called “Vertigo” starring Jimmy Stewart from the 50′s and from what I can tell its a wierd feeling. Will pray for you bro to have God heal you right now!

ImageCatchers - November 29, 2006 - 10:33 PM

Sweeeeet! The 5D is sooo cool! I have many friends who own and are in love with that camera.

My favorite shot is the one of Sydney in focus and the man in the background.

Have a beautiful day!

Yeah… I :heartbeat: our fan. lol. Molly gets way too hyper sometimes and just messes up almost everything she can. It’s like she’s high or something. LOL… One night I just came up with something… I claimed she had an invisible goat chasing her since she was running around at lightning speed. The goat thing stuck. She actually seems to know what I’m talking about. It’s too funny. :giggle:

poiema210 - November 29, 2006 - 10:56 PM

I love these! What was your ISO?

lydellphoto - November 29, 2006 - 11:16 PM

maryhurlbut - November 28, 2006 - 2:56 PM

irisinbloom - November 28, 2006 - 3:37 PM

Oh what sweet owners you have!

Borelfoto - November 28, 2006 - 4:13 PM

:giggle: Lets see now, which animal looks like its master…hmmmm need to see them all first to size them up to their match. Maybe a side by side to compare them would help. Yea..thats the ticket!:spinning:

Cowboy Wedding

Posted in Weddings

Last week I had the honor of helping Randy out with wedding at Arden Hills. He has a slideshow up on his site – go visit! At the wedding and the reception there were all these cowboys!! (The grooms family is in the rodeo business.) So what do you do when you go to a...

:coolman: Hey Mark…Hats off to you! :laugh: On the transform, great job.:goodjob:

WalkingDowntown - November 25, 2006 - 7:22 PM

that’s pretty cool, but you’ve gotta watch out for the direction of light on both subjects. the light on her is coming from the right (as indicated by the shadow on her right hand side of her chin) but there’s a shadown on from the hat on the side of her head.

lastoriafoto - November 25, 2006 - 8:30 PM

So totally cool…! What a great job. I think the shadows look good. And this wedding was gorgeous! You and Randy did a great job! ~ Dawn

Dlanton - November 25, 2006 - 9:25 PM

Kerri,

Thanks for the comment but those pictures are actually of my brother in law that I took of him on thanksgiving. I am not that photogenic

lydellphoto - November 25, 2006 - 10:22 PM

Brandon:

Thanks – I looked at the shadows a long time before I applied the final shadow. Since I extracted the hat without the shadow I was free to put the shadow wherever I wanted to.

Since I took the picture I knew where the light was coming from – It was a ceiling light coming down on her left shoulder. If you look under her chin, you see the shadow is the same direction as the one coming under the hat – that was what I was matching.

Thanks for making sure I keep the pictures realistic!

lastoriafoto - November 26, 2006 - 12:17 AM

hey Markbo… pretty funny stuff… you got me going now! And how come I’m the only one who posted your mob mug? I love it! ~ Dawn

lydellphoto - November 26, 2006 - 2:46 AM

Dawn: I think I look like Sylvester Stallone….I didnt think about posting it, prob hoping it would go away but knowing Randy there will always be more. He and I always get shots of each other when we shoot together – it’s part of what we do – makes it more fun when we snipe shots of each other. I need to drag out some of his and have some fun with them.

I didnt realize what a hit the animations would be – I can see how to use them in so many ways and will be putting some together to use here in our studio when we meet with clients. i need to learn more about transitions to see how to make them smoother.

We could make that part of the next DSLR class! Speaking of which, what will it take to get you to come out to the West Coast to do an album design seminar? Or if you do one there it would be a great reason to visit Chicago!

RaZeHeLL - November 26, 2006 - 9:34 AM

:yes: Neat way to do things! :wave: ~Carolyn :love:

Simplicity_photography - November 26, 2006 - 10:40 AM

chester9005 - November 26, 2006 - 6:14 PM

Hey Mark,

Dr. Doug

christineguthrie - November 27, 2006 - 12:27 AM

Nice shots, and I love the hat!

jenpechan - November 28, 2006 - 4:07 AM

:wave: We have a few wedding pics to share. These are professional ones….just snapshots done by a friend. I don’t have the best ones yet….will get those later this week.

kennyahn - November 20, 2006 - 2:45 PM

Kerri, thank you so much for sharing this. What a calming effect this reminder of God’s faithfulness has been this morning. Thank you.

picturehim - November 20, 2006 - 3:50 PM

Thank you .I needed that so much.~Blessing~

maryhurlbut - November 20, 2006 - 4:05 PM

My heart is filled with sorrow not worry, but these WORDS from our Father still help. Thnak you for taking the time to post them:heartbeat:

Dlanton - November 20, 2006 - 4:35 PM

I really appreciate this particular post as I suffer from panic disorder and recently have been taking something to suppress them from reoccurring in the future. It is a hard balance for me to understand the physical and chemical imbalances that I have and at the same time understand that God does not want us to be under such bondage. In fact it is sin for us to have anything but complete Joy in Him and for Him. (Thank you John Piper for all you have written on the subject.) I can’t help but feel that this particular post is directed at me and I thank you for your insight

Daniel

jenpechan - November 20, 2006 - 6:52 PM

Thank you for sharing…Ive never thought that much about worrying….be a duck, let it roll off your back!!

MuchPeaceToYou - November 21, 2006 - 2:42 AM

(((KERRI)), I SOOOO LOVED THIS POST, ESPECIALLY THIS PART…

Most Christians are being crucified on a cross between two thieves, yesterday’s regret and tomorrow’s worries!
THIS SOOO WELL DESCRIBES MY CURRENT STATE OF BEING. I’VE REALIZED MANY THINGS WITH MY CURRENT TRIAL, BUT MOSTLY I’VE REALIZED THAT WORRYING BRINGS A LACK OF FAITH IN WHAT WE THINK GOD CAN DO IN OUR LIVES, IN OUR CIRCUMSTANCES AND SITUATIONS. WHEN WE WORRY, IT’S LIKE SAYING, WE HAVE NO FAITH! THANKS FOR SHARING THIS, MY FRIEND. I’VE BEEN BATTLING THE STRONGEST BATTLE I’VE EVER FACED THUS FAR IN MY WALK. IT’S BIGGER THAN ME, BUT DEFINITELY NOT BIGGER THAN THE GOD WE SERVE!!!
THANKS AGAIN, LOVE, CHERYL

brysta559 - November 21, 2006 - 9:43 AM

hey, that’s good! mind if I copy it and send it to my sister and mom?
