Downtown Mooresville Fashion Shoot

I got together with a couple other photographer friends and models for a fashion style shoot in downtown Mooresville. We just wanted to test out some equipment, and see what we could find in terms of interesting settings around town. Turns out, Mooresville offers a lot of good locations for photos. Here is a sneak peek of 1 of the images… I’ll get more posted when I get some time to edit.

A photo from nothing…

I’m frequently amazed by other photographers who are able to make a beautiful image out of a scene most of us wouldn’t look at twice. The images that most inspire me are those that might never have been taken. The little details we pass by every day, and sometimes don’t notice. Maybe they’re even inconvenient things, but an artist will take it and compose a thing of beauty.

I’ve always thought that one of my short-comings as an ART photographer was that I have a hard time capturing abstract images that turn an unremarkable scene into a striking photograph. My self assignment lately has been to slow down, and notice the beauty that appears within the mundane.

This image was taken from inside my car one foggy morning. It’s condensation that formed overnight on the windshield. In my haste to get to work on time I almost didn’t even shoot this.

Spring Apple Blossoms

The apple tree in our backyard hasn’t enjoyed the last 2 seasons of drought. This spring, however, it seems quenched by early rains. Plentiful blooms smell lightly sweet. The new buds look healthy, and there is plenty of assistance from some honey bees in the pollination department.

I shot this in evening sun with the D1x and a Nikkor 60mm macro lens.

This image was captured summer ’08 from a kayak in the Outer Banks. We paddled around this bend, and I noticed a couple of white egrets fishing along the edge of the far bank. One bird spooked and flew off immediately, but this one was braver. Bravado goes only so far in the animal kingdom so the closer we got the quicker it began wading away from us. Reaching the end of its comfort zone, the bird took flight. I wasn’t really intending to photograph it, but just before it cleared the reeds on the bank I snapped a quick shot with the D1x.

Yep. There’s a little bit of Photoshop work done to this one. I adjusted the image to bring out some detail in the grass.
