Find Your Portrait/Event Moved

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

I’m sure visitors have wondered why the Find Your Portrait Session and Find Your Event section haven’t been updated this year. In January I moved to a new system that involves <yourname#>.hyakphoto.com that now include all sessions and/or events that I have covered for you. Clients who have had photos taken since January are aware of this change and, in most cases, prefer it. This takes advantage of some features of Photoshelter that I had been using for groups of events, such as the liberty.hyakphoto.com site, but have now expanded to all services after some discussion. The same security options (individual logins, group passwords, hidden URLs, etc) are still available both for the main site and for each specific gallery, event, or photo session on request. All specific galleries can still be e-mailed to friends and family if set to hidden or password protected and specific logins can still be assigned at any time. I will set up an example using my portfolio images and cover it in a future post.

The blog itself, which was built around the old find your session method will be undergoing a redesign in the next few months to provide a more graphical experience showcasing both portfolio images and also images from recent shoots.

Annual Alpha Phi Alpha Golf Tournament

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

This weekend I had the opportunity to sponsor a worthwhile organization, try out my new water bottle advertisements, and shoot some golf photos. I shot everyone at the #1 tee (through all of the trees!) and then was at the #10 for anyone who wanted to get a portrait of their group as they came back around.

Varsity Football: LCS @ Weston-McEwen

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Sports photography is new to me this year. It seems fitting that my first post of any substance is, therefore, related to sports photography.

Friday night was the second game of the season, and I drove down to Athena, OR. Lighting levels were below what I would have liked (1/320s f1.4 ISO1600), but with some creativity and fast primes I got a fair number of shots that I hope yearbooks and parents on both sides are happy with.
