4th of July Fireworks – Joliet Park District

Happy Birthday Day America! And what better way to say that than with FIREWORKS! Here in Joliet we are spoiled with not 1 but 2 fireworks shows. One of the shows is on the 3rd of July and this show has always been on the 4th. As a photographer I feel like I was actually able to capture a fireworks show in a photo. What do you think? These were taken at the Joliet Park District’s Memorial Stadium fireworks show. All the photos we shot in manual and had varying settings from 30 seconds to 6 seconds for the shutter speed. I personally shoot with my ISO on auto and then my F-stop was at F-8.I also HATE using a tripod but this is what they were made for right? I got a pretty good one that doesn’t break the bank either. You can check it out on Amazon here. It’s the Manfrotto brand and I have had it for about 4 or 5 years.

If you want to check out my shots from the other night you can see them here.

 

4th of July – Bicentennial Park

Happy Birthday Day America! As a photographer I feel like I was actually able to capture a firework in a photo. What do you think? These were taken at Bicentennial Park in downtown Joliet. All the photos we shot in manual and had varying settings from 30 seconds to 6 seconds for the shutter speed. I personally shoot with my ISO on auto and then my F-stop was either at F-22 or F-8.

2018 Clients – A look back ….

Here are a few of MY favorite client photos from 2018!

Happy New Year

These 6 photos were taken on 6 different days in 2018. The first photo is very special to me because it is of me but it was taken with my camera during a photo shoot by a very dear friend of mine. The second was somewhere in the Olympic National Forest. I say somewhere because we were camping for 3 days and didn’t have cell service for at least 2 of them. The third was taken while I was working for a client in Arizona last month. The fourth was taken during our adventure for Kingston’s 4th birthday. The fifth photo was taken at Illahee State Park in Bremerton, WA. The sixth photo was taken at the Hubert Christmas tree farm in Seabeck, WA.
