Daniel & Amanda Engagements (Part 2)

We took these pictures of Daniel and Amanda by the trailhead for Hidden Falls in Big Cottonwood Canyon.

The trailhead is on what i believe must be the north east part of the S-curve. The hike to the falls is actually only .3 miles (a very, very short .3 miles). But to really get over to the falls you either have to plan on getting wet feet and shoes or balancing your way across a log which you'll see later in the shoot.

Daniel & Amanda weren't up for the wet feet (seeing as we still had one more stop), so we settled for the pictures right here. Jen and i did end up hiking to the falls a few days agp and it is really pretty. I'm sure one of us will post some pics from that hike sometime soon. I definitely need to go back with my tripod and good light.

Hey look, it's the log! Obviously, i wasn't up for balancing my way across the log, so when Jen and I hiked it with the fam (& Niki's fam) i decided to give my supposedly waterproof socks one more try. Once again, as well as they may have kept my fee warmer, they defintely didn't keep them dryer. So we'll if the next pair i exchanged them for work any better on this upcoming Subway hike.



On to Wheeler Farm! What a cool place.









This is a pretty cool tree, but we kind of annoyed all the kids who wanted to play on it while we were taking pictures.





This is my attempt at a Direct Positive exposure feel - what do you think? Once again, thanks for stopping by. Feel free to let me know what you think of the pictures and i hope you enjoyed them. Thanks!

Kira & Zac at Wheeler Farm

After many, many complaints and much guilt, i finally got around to posting a real post to this blog! Yay for me! Let's see if anyone notices...

Anyway, Kira is my cousin (she's the blonde) and she's getting married to Zac in less than a week! Obiously, being the slacker that i am, these pictures were taken a while back. But hey, i should have some wedding pictures up soon. And it'll be at the Portland LDS Temple, should be cool.

Kira's obviously beautiful and the two of them were a blast to photograph.

I love shooting at Wheeler Farm, there are so many different places to shoots and each has a different feeling or mood. However, i was a little surprised at the "creek" here, because last time i was here for a shoot the creek was just that, a creek - just a little trickle running through the river rocks. We went out into the middle and shot some great pictures, and i really liked the rock. Imagine my surprise to see it totally full. But the pics still turned out great... Or at least i think so.

I love this effect; instead of simple black and white, it gets a silvery blue effect.

I love the color and texture of these wood shots!

I really like this picture; i think i'm a sucker for these out of focus shots, but i also really like Kira's pose. Go Kira!

I absolutely love this picture! I know, i know, it's a tractor, but i love Kira's pose. Do you like it? Hopefully you do, do you know why? Part of it should have something to do with the shape of her pose - notice an 'S'? Anyway, supposedly it's one of the most pleasing human forms, what do you think?

"You're right, there is something in there. I think it's a sunset."

Anyway, there you have it: my first "real" post. The point was the pictures, but i'll try to make it my own on the way. Also, if all the formatting is screwed up, i'm sorry. I'm still getting used to this blogger interface. i'm used to doing it on my own, but i don't know how to do the comments and all that.

Happy looking.
