So I got to head down to the CBS Early Show this morning (with my trusty Canon Digital Rebel XT in tow) to help photograph March of Dimes volunteer efforts to help spread the word about their biggest fund raising event, March for Babies. I'm a proud supporter of the March of Dimes mission and I'll be walking this weekend.
Now, I know what you are thinking; "What an awesome cause, helping babies! I wonder how I can help...." Well, since you asked... you can click here to go directly to my March for Babies website and sponsor me, I'll be walking this weekend. Or, if you have a personal vendetta against me, but you'd still like to donate, you can just visit marchforbabies.org!
This photo was taken with the generic lens that came with the Digital Rebel XT.
"Walkin' For the Babies"
What a weekend! Bombsquad softball wins two games, and my girlfriend nails down a whole bunch of new photos. If I'm not careful, she might start her own blog with all the photos she's got. This is one of my favorites from the weekend shoot, the fog ads a bit of mystery to the photo, plus its a great action shot!
The Canon 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III EF USM Lens was mounted to my Canon Digital Rebel XT to get this shot. Thanks again to the zoom lens, my girlfriend can snap out of harms way!
"Open All Night Long"
This is a shot of the famous Vegas Strip. I took it during the wee hours of the morning (3 am) before we left to catch our flight. I had to keep a steady hand, as I used a slooooow shutter speed. I used the generic lens that came with the Canon Digital Rebel XT. Next time I go back to Vegas, I'm bringing the zoom lens!
"War is Hell"
This is a shot of an old fort down in Florida, Fort Matanzas. Not a bad assignment for a soldier, if you ask me. I used the generic lens that came with the Canon Digital Rebel XT.
"3:20 to Camera Effect #3"
This is another "camera trick shot', the trick being that the area photographed doesn't exactly exist. Its a replica of an area in San Fransisco.
I used the Canon Digital Rebel's generic lens for this photo. It'll eventually need some Photoshop work on it, so I'll re-post the results in the future.
"Camera Tricks #2"
Here's another cool example of a special effects shot. Isn't it pretty odd that an amusement park has a huge rocket ship in the middle of the park? Turns out, that rocket ship is actually no bigger than your arm. Between the sunlight, blue sky, background building, position of the subject and the rocket ship, and depth of field, you get a much larger looking object, ready for takeoff.
I used the generic Rebel XT lens for this shot.
"Camera Tricks #1"
Set up the Rebel on a tripod, used a timer, opened shutter, and went 90 mph. Actually, this is part of our series on special effects photography, courtesy of some folks at Universal Studios. You never know where you'll learn something new about photography, so keep your eyes and ears opened.
I used the generic Rebel XT lens for this shot.
"By Any Other Name"
A nice bunch of roses, this photo was taken before a wedding ceremony (Yes, I do weddings). The generic lens for the Canon Digital Rebel XT was used to shoot this photo, although, looking at it now, part of me wishes I had a nice macro lens.
"Neon Night"
This is a photo I took of an old 1950's car-hop diner, Annie's Snack Shack and Restaurant. The restaurant stood for over fifty years, before it was finally bought out and demolished, making way for a bank, I used the generic lens that came with the Canon Digital Rebel XT.
"Winter River"
This is the first part of a series of pictures I'll be taking around a small stream in my backyard.
I used a Canon Digital Rebel XT with a Canon 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III EF USM Lens.
