New Flash toy

For the holidays, I recieved a Gary Fong lightsphere, which has modified the quality of my flash photography - portraits and group shots have taken on a whole new atmosphere. I'll be heading back to the Botanical gardens soon to try out some flower shots with the new flash device as well!

Sabres game!

I was lucky enough to go to a Sabres game this evening. I read on Sabres.com that cameras of any size are allowed as long as you don't bother your neighbors, so I grabbed my E3 and 50-200mm and off I went! I was in section 121 for most of the game, looking downice. My friends Kerri and Nicole turned out to be at the game, and had seats right at the glass - so I was able to sneak in and get some really close, ice-level shots near the end.

Here they are!

Kaz Photography flower photos

So I spent a while tonight re-doing the CSS Template for my blog and galleries, and I needed a photo gallery to test things out. So, what better gallery to use than the one I took the header flower photo from?

Agility with Petey

Sue and I took the dog to agility training tonight, and it was the perfect opportunity to play with my newest toy! I shot a ton of photos in a relatively dimly lit room without the aid of a flash - it was a lot of fun, and was good practice. Here are the photos!

New Camera

I'm a die-hard user of the Olympus E-series of cameras. My first DSLR was the Olympus E-500, and I upgraded that to the Olympus E-510 the day I left for my Grand Teton trip. Just 24 hours ago I got the Olympus E-3, which is a weather-sealed, hardcore, expensive pro-level DSLR. I took it to the Buffalo Botanical Gardens this afternoon - click here for my first shots with it. I'm sure to get better as I gain experience with the camera.

Second Wedding

I photographed my second wedding with Michael Alan Photography yesterday. Congratulations to Liz and Nathan! I've just put up some of the photos from their wedding - check them out!

Site Redesign!

So, I've been getting into Wedding Photography, as it's quite a trip to have people come to you and request that you do something that you love to do anyways. I've redesigned the entry to my site in preparation for that - please let me know what you think!!
