just got into pittsburgh! took some traveling shots along the way. long exposures are always super fun and a good way to keep yourself amused on a 9 hour car ride when you’re not driving. :)
annnnnd…we’re here. :) bloggin’ from the ‘burgh for the next few days! keep it sunny, raleigh.
more gloom today in raleigh as we continue to head through the nastiness that’s been this winter. and although it’s certainly not as bad as pittsburgh, i really can’t wait until it’s over. things started to bloom in the beginning of february then abruptly died after that snow we got. then we started on this steak of what’s now become perpetual overcast and drizzle with occasional periods of sun. thankfully the weather for the wedding i photographed last weekend was beautiful, but it was a rare case of good weather in an otherwise nasty winter. looking forward to the spring so i can stop dragging around pants that have wet hems for a while. baah.
over a week now of project 365 and i think it’s been going really well! although i have to say that i’ve been kinda busy this week and haven’t put as much thought into staging photographs as i would’ve liked, but i’m getting there! i’ve been concentrating a lot on inventing different poses that i haven’t used before for the wedding this weekend. as a wedding and portrait photographer, let me just say that there are only so many poses that you can think of off the top of your head. it has really helped me immensely to sketch and plan them out beforehand so that i can remember the visions that i had for the shoot. oftentimes i write down shot lists on index cards and geoff reads them off to me. it also helps the session run much smoother so you’re not standing there saying, “umm…” while you wait for inspiration to strike. :) also – 58 degrees and sunny this saturday! i don’t think you could ask for better weather for a february wedding.
