Flower Fields Washington Spring 2015

So these are some photos I took this spring in washing state with all the flower fields in bloom.  Considering that I was shooting from a car window kind of on the fly the seem to be decent images.  I really wish there was time to take and create an HDR image of these I really think that gathering more detail in the bright flowers and more contrast in the sky would have created a much better image.

I guess this is somewhat of a lesson in dealing with circumstances.  I feel the photos are well exposed but having a broader range may have helped a lot in the final images.

Environmental Portraits

Though this was not the first time I have had to shoot a portrait in an environment, I have not done this in a while.  Walking around campus I did find myself wishing I had drug along some reflectors and black cards, but I made do.  Sometimes as photographers we have to deal with what we are given.  For the images I really tried to find interesting angles, and perspectives.  My personal directives lead to the high contrast, I enjoy high drama images.  I think i could use some more time editing these, Lightroom 5 is significantly different enough from LR3 that it did pose some interesting problems, my normal flow was a little disrupted.  I ma overall happy with these images although some are unintentionally laking the tack sharpness that i look.  Just don’t look to closely.
