This photograph was made in Assisi, Italy during the 2007 Mille Miglia, a one thousand mile car race through Italy! The streets in the medieval hilltowns of the Umbrian region of Italy are so narrow that it is often times difficult for a car to drive on the same road people are walking on. As can be seen in this photograph, I was very, very close to the Porsche that was about to zip past me. So, with my back up against the building wall and a wide angle lens strapped to the camera, I was able to show a bit more room than there really was. Add a little bit of zoom blur (rotating the zoom setting on the lens while the shutter is open), and voila! – you have yourself a respectable racecar action photo! Enjoy!

Been awhile since we’ve been posting photos of the week. We’ve been quite busy lately and the blog posting has suffered from that. We’re trying to find the time. We have tons of stuff to post – wedding shoots, bat mitzvah shoots, tech articles, film vs. digital shootout reviews- but so little time to do it! Bear with us.

Client Photo Gallery: Dominica

ekazmirek — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:01:30 +0000

This month’s client photo gallery features work from Michael Paxton of Basking Ridge, New Jersey. These are photographs from Michael’s two recent trips to Dominica – enjoy! All images copyright Michael Paxton 2009.

Dominica styles itself as ‘The Nature Island of the Caribbean’. A rugged, volcanic island to the north of Martinique, it’s known more for its rain-forest, rivers and waterfalls than its beaches. These photos were taken on Dominica’s windward side and give some indication of the beautiful light available to the photographer as the day progresses from dawn through to a moonlit night. As always a huge thanks to Eric for his guidance on the use of Vari-ND filters and all of the cumulative advice that continues to improve my photography.
