Lion at the Door
Lion at the Door - D700, Lensbaby, Sweet 35
No, not a real lion but sure does look like one from a cartoon…just made me smile when I saw this in the house we stayed at in Hilton Head in September. Hope it brings a smile to your face too…click to view a little larger.
Girl at Fountain
Girl at Fountain, Savannah - D700, 24-70mm
This image was shot in one of the squares in Savannah, don’t remember which one. It is a composite of two images, one of the fountain and one of the top of a trash can in the square, inverted and blended in CS5. Just seemed like those two objects wanted to go together in one image. Don’t you just love the live oaks, so majestic.

Family Wedding
Flowers and Bow Tie - Canon G10
My nephew got married last weekend and we had a great time at the wedding. No, I was NOT the photographer, just a guest but I did take my Canon G10 and shoot a few vignettes of the day. The ceremony and reception were at the El Serrano Restaurant in Lancaster, PA. The service was in the courtyard pictured below and the reception was upstairs in the restaurant. Wonderful service, great fun and superb food, all surrounded by family and friends, what more could you ask for…

Two more shots from the day, the harpist and a shot of one of the upstairs dining areas. A very nice place with GREAT tapas…

Windy Day at Tybee
Ansie at Tybee - D700, 24-70mm
One morning during the workshop in Savannah we went to Tybee Island to shoot. It was pretty windy that day. Here are two shots from the morning. First one is of Ansie, a lovely lady from South Africa who was gracious enough to do some posing for me under the pier. Thanks again, Ansie… Second shot is a composite self portrait using a RF remote.

And for something totally different…ironwork and colors from Savannah. Sometimes out of focus works just fine…or even better.

Live Oaks & Architecture
Savannah Live Oaks IR - D200, IR converted, 18-35mm
I am always looking for live oak shots when I am in the south. These were in Chippewa Square in Savannah, well, I’m pretty sure this was Chippewa. Don’t make me swear to that…
Here’s another IR shot of some architectural detail in Savannah. I think this was around Chippewa Square too…maybe I need to put a GPS on my camera?

Guitar Bob
Guitar Bob - D700, 24-70mm
While wondering around the streets and squares with Wes in Savannah we ran into “Guitar Bob”. Bob is a street musician and friend of Craig’s and has modeled for him many times. Craig’s images of Bob are always strong, powerful portraits so I was a bit hesitant to take any photos of Bob. Somehow I overcame that fear and took some photos anyway. Bob is a very gentle guy and I saw that quickly when I was shooting him. This came out better that I thought and was glad I took some images…
For you photo geeks: ISO 1600, f/10 @ 1/100 with a Singh-Ray Soft Ray filter to spread the highlights and soften the shadows. Post production in CS5 with Nik Color Efex Pro 3 using Tonal Contrast, Paper Toner and Glamour Glow. Craig said he couldn’t wait to tell Bob I used Glamour Glow on him. Maybe it’s a good thing I am no longer in Savannah???
