One thing I need to work on more when I shoot a wedding is the smaller details that sometimes escapes the eye because of the bigger picture of whats going on. The close shots of wedding flowers,wedding dress,rings,dinner setup,cake and things like that. Most of these shots are taken with a shallow DOF (Distance Of Focus) leaving a very small area that is sharp and spreads out to a unfocused style which keeps the eye on one certain area of the photo and that would be the detail the photographer want to elaborate on. There is some neat stuff that can be done doing this sort of photography with  weddings and I will work more on this stuff on the next upcoming events I do. I have listed a photo below of what I think could be a Tiger Lilly (I could be wrong) which shows the detail on the Stamen, Anther and Filaments in focus and focus fades out on the Petals and Sepal which blends into the background. I also will be present this weekend in Lynchburg, Virginia for Nina and Charlie’s wedding and look forward to sharing the big day with both of them as they are a very fun couple to hang out with and this weekend will be no exception.

With the holidays over and things getting back into the normal everyday routine I plan to finish the wedding and portrait website. I have had two possiable customers interested in me doing thier weddings but when they go to the website to check prices many of those fields are not ready and that is not very professional. I also have to put something together for my “about me” page which is a diffcult thing for me to write as I think it might be for most. This weekend I also spent some time getting some photos together to add to the site as one of the customers wanted to see more of a varity so I will be working on that as well..Here is another from Nina and Charlie’s engagement session which I kind of liked…
