Playing In The Ocean

 

This year during vacation I ventured out into the ocean about knee deep with my Induro Tripod and Canon 60D fitted with the 70-200mm and shot wave after wave as they rolled in. It was a lot of fun trying to capture both the beauty of nature and the power of the ocean. I tried many different shutter speeds from .5 second to 1/60th trying to blend both the motion and stopping time at that perfect moment. I found this to be very therapeutic and calming even though having your camera gear in the mighty ocean would have frightened me to death a few years ago.

Football Portraits

Football Portraits

 

This year my son started a new sport Football so to bring in the new sport I shot a couple football portraits.  This one is a composite portrait meaning the subject was shot in a studio location on a white background and then the background was swapped out later in Photoshop.  I love shooting these things they are much different than my normal work! These allow me to mix the artistic backgrounds with a portrait, to create a one of a kind portrait.

For more information or if you’d like to have your own Sportrait session feel free to contact me.

This is a composite portrait shot in a studio setting adding the background in to complete the image. For more information contact me on my blog at www.nfirebaughimages.com

Spring Macro Photography

Spring Macro Photography

In the spring I tend to use my Canon 100mm macro lens to death trying to capture every little bloom and bud in sight.  Spring macro photography has to be one of my favorite things about photography! Every year the same plants come and go but the photographs you take each year are always unique. This could be because of the subjects color or size difference each year or maybe you catch one of your subjects in the best light possible. That’s why I like shooting the same flowers and trees year after year.

This is one of my latest edits that I processed using a plugin called Topaz Restyle you can find my review of it here.  I took this shot using a Canon 60D and the Canon 100mm F2.8 Macro Lens handheld in aperture priority mode set at f2.8 and an ISO of 200. This combination of body and lens is an excellent setup for anyone looking to get into macro photography!
