A Drive Through the Country

Took a drive out through some of the country roads around my house taking pictures this past weekend.  Left the house with nothing in particular planned, but just wanted to get out and see what my son and I could find.

Started out driving on Triumph Drive in Sublimity on some winding country roads and ended up in Stayton at a local park on the river.  The pictures weren’t anything special, but I had a good time traveling around with my son taking pictures and talking.

Cruising–Taking a Big Boat Ride

Took a cruise out of Miami on the Carnival Glory to start the summer and visited several islands:

• Grand Turks
• Puerto Rico
• St. Thomas
• Dominican Republic

Had a great time, ate too much, took a lot of pictures and some video, and would definitely do this again!  Here is a little video I posted on YouTube with some highlights from the trip:  Cruisin’

Ft. Lauderdale

Drove to Ft. Lauderdale and took a water taxi around some of the city. Ended up having a couple of drinks down by the beach at a place called Drunken Taco. Cool place that I imagine would be pretty crazy around Spring break.

Enjoy. Check out my website and let me know what you think. chrisbagger

Little Havana

Checked out Little Havana in Miami. Walked around Domino Park.

Had ice cream at Azucar, a local ice cream shop that has great service and delicious ice cream.

Strolled around and got a picture of Jacob with a giant rooster!

Good times in Miami!

Key Largo

Took a drive down to Key Largo to have lunch and let Jacob swim with the dolphins. We had a blast, super hot, didn’t take a lot of pictures, but we all enjoyed ourselves.

Miami

Dinner at Bubba Gump’s at the Bayside Marketplace.

Followed by Mojitos.

And a boat tour of Miami and some sunset skyline pictures. Traveling with the family and using the Sony RX100iii to take photos.

Impromptu Portrait Shoot

My son and I were selling some things on Craigslist, so we set up a box and some lights to take some product shots to post. I decided since we have everything out I should take some shots of him.

Which do you prefer?  Black and white or color?

Workshop Photography

Went to Seattle last weekend for a photography lighting workshop put on by Jason Lanier at Glazers Camera.

Jason is a Sony Artisan and Rotolight Master of Lighting. I thought his class was very good, Jason is very personable and down to Earth. He takes the time to answer any questions and provides thoughtful insights into what has made him successful.

Jason brought a couple of models and allowed us the opportunity to get some shots inside the store after his talk.

We then went outside and took some more shots while Jason gave tips and let us use his Rotolight setup.

I thought it was a great class and I want to thank my wife for sending me for my birthday.

Leading Lines and Primary Colors

While working out this morning at Tornado Fitness in Aumsville I took a minute between sets to snap a couple of pictures with my iPhone X.

The first one was looking down a row of dumbbells. I liked the way they lined up and led you through the photo to the colorful plates at the other end of the room.

The other picture was more focused on some other plates and the way the colors popped in the middle of the room.

Now it’s time to go shoot.
