The Grand Strand

Sometimes you just get a feeling;  to be in the right place, to be ready for 'those' moments.  Those times when preparation and timing come together and you're  presented with nature at its' best.  Such as it was  for last nights sunset. Cherry Grove to Murrells Inlet. 1/250@ f8  ISO 800. I just love how the wave lines lead into and  are repeated in the sky. Hope you do as well.

Jack

My friend and fellow photographer Jack Thompson,  famous for his historical Myrtle Beach pics. Taking a second after hanging his "Moon over Myrtle" at the Jetport. Single speed light off camera and popup camera fill.

If red eye is giving you trouble when using flash. Then try bouncing or softening the light with a diffusion attachment. If you have control over environment then switch on some light in the room or get the subject to look at a bright light then back to camera. Or simply use the preflash that most cameras have today. There are also easy fix tools in most photoprograms. Heres a really obvious example.

Super Bowl Rings

A few years ago, had the unique opportunity to meet and photograph Dwight ‘The Catch’ Clark, (thanks to Matthew Phisters' Idealapeel.com) He also wanted images of his FIVE SuperBowl rings! It was my pleasure and if you’ve never seen one of these ........ here you go! They were very large and were only out of his safe just for the pics. Note that I used hard light to bring out the sparkle, of the jewels.

MBREDC

Rows and rows of circuit boards are pretty dull. By adding just one speed light with a CBO filter you can insert a bit of interest. Mix in available talent, place appropriately on a nodal and at converging lines and the composition is complete!

Farm to Table

Coastal Uncorkeds’ 2nd annual 'Farm to Table' was a memorable event, successfully and extensively planned by The Brandon Agencys’ own Candace Howell. This will give you a flavour of the evening.

Toma

Its one of the privileges of photography. Sometimes seeing the unseen or being first to experience, or getting behind the scene access. I’ve photographed molten steel, computer inards, and light bulbs being manufactured. Actors in the wings
--Artists creating, and you may remember close up and personal with the Moomba snake. These shots give an inside look at some new technology, that will help save lives. The new TOMO radiation at CRCC right here in Myrtle Beach. Adding some colored gels to the flash gave the scene a bit more drama and interest, and discovering that the laser alignment light was photographable was a bonus. The longer the exposure the more prevalent it became.
