My first wedding. It was 90 degrees and the noseeums were EATING us, but the couple managed to pull it out. :) Super great day!

A slow shutter of Running Eagle Falls. Normally I wouldn't take this shot in early afternoon, but there was decent cloud cover so the sun didn&#0

I had just purchased my 70-200 and got to test my lens for the first time at a triathlon in Austin, TX.

On a trip to Seattle I was hoping to get a shot of the wheel that was a little different. Taken at Waterfront Park.

From a shoot for a regional magazine cover.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at Amelia IS. Florida for a wedding I shot. It was an impromptu shot, but I was very proud of it.

Time

I took this midday indoors.

Lighting

The lighting for this was achieved with a hand held LED video light, and I recommend every photographer have one in their bag. It's a very solid $40 investment that is great for food and jewelry shots.

Equipment

Tripod, Canon 5D Mk 11 and a Sigma 105 Macro Lens. For lighting I used a handheld video light.

Inspiration

We were looking around for things to take a ring shot on and spotted this little nest with eggs in a curio cabinet where the bride was prepping. I thought the theme of starting a nest was great for a wedding, so I set the nest aside for one of the ring shots. I took ring shots in other locations and set ups, but this was my favorite!

Editing

Minimal post processing on this. I cloned a few distracting twigs and color corrected in Lightroom.

In my camera bag

I've since upgraded to a 5d Mklll and generally have my Tamron 24-70, Canon 70-200 (both with stabilization) and various gizmos and gadgets (like the video light) as well as a Canon 600 Flash.

Feedback

Tripod is a must for macro work like this, and I do recommend something to light it up. In this case it was a cheapo video light, but I really like using it for macros.
