So let me say that though there are those who would scold me (Ed Pierce) for shooting so much with greater-than F2.8 lens, I love my 24-105L F4.0 IS lens on my 5D! Its maximum aperture of 4.0 limits what you can do with depth of field and Bohek (that buttery background blur in photographs). […]
Mell and I are now in the Vallee la Marne area in preparation for the Wedding. We met Louise (the bride) and her father today, and Alexander (the groom) just got into town. We are meeting with everyone tomorrow to visit the reception site and finalize picture plans for Saturday. I’ve been working on the […]
Tuesday started with a bike tour of the city that provided plenty of great scenes for photography and satisfied any need to be a dare devil by biking on the bustling streets of Paris. The day ended with what else but the Eiffel Tower. The Tower is currently lit with blue lights and is decorated […]
We made it yesterday to Paris with great ease thanks to the amazing train systems they have here in Europe. Our hotel is only blocks from the Eiffel Tower and the Seine river. We can’t wait to share with you some of the scenes soon, and we will have some more Germany photos up later […]
On Sunday, we had such a blast photographing Mellisa (our host), JR, Jeannene, and TJ (family), and Sean and Bronna (engaged since December). They were so kind and fun to shoot. The nearby German villages offered such great spots that are foreign to and reminiscent of downtown Charleston.
Our weekend in Germany was jam packed. Saturday morning, our host, Mellisa, walked a block to her local bakery in Quiedersbach to make us a traditional German breakfast. Then, we were off to downtown Kaiserslautern for the morning market where we saw flying overhead a C-17 from the Charleston Air Force base. We then went […]
On the 21st we caught the train from Venice up to Porderone, Italy (near the Alps) and took a taxi to a little town called Arba to visit our Wedding and Portrait album publishing company, Graphistudio. We met with Alessia there who showed us around. What we learned: The leather that Graphi uses for their […]
So Mell, Mellisa and I toured Kaiserslautern and Quiedersbach today, but more on that later. Here’s a more extensive gallery of Venice! The blog gallery function didn’t like so many pictures, so I did it as an adobe lightroom gallery. Venice Gallery Enjoy!
Just a quick update to let you know that we made it to Germany and are all hunkered in at my old high school friend, Mellisa’s beautiful German townhouse. Yesterday we successfully visited Graphistudio (our Itallian album publishing company) in Arba Italy, and got back to Venice in time to tour St. Mark’s Basilica, the […]
Sorry about the lack up updates. We have only just found an internet cafè here in Venice. I won’t waist too much time telling you how beautiful it is (pictures do that better, right?). But suffice to say it more than lives up to it’s reputation. There’s no straight path to anywhere, and the alleys […]
