I've been on a bit of a personal hiatus from photography/videography for the last couple months, so I'm ready to get back behind the camera again! :)

Looking forward to several upcoming weddings to be filmed with my Canon 5D Mark II! This footage is absolutely stunning! Curious? Check out 5D footage on vimeo.com :)

Quick shot of me while doing some photography in the snow

It's a gorgeous snowy day here in Nacogdoches! About to enjoy this rarity with the camera and grab some photos of the town! Here's a quick tip for those taking photos in the cold:
If you'd like to take photos outside in the cold, do this first - Keep your camera in your case and set it outside for a few minutes before you leave. This will cool down your warm camera and keep condensation out of the lens and sensor. :)

(cont.) But be sure not to distort the subject by using too wide of an angle! Especially common with portraits/close-up subjects.

Tip: Achieve a steady photo by being closer to subject w/ wider angle. Get as close as possible, THEN zoom if necessary.

Tip: When taking a photo, leave some frame room for creative cropping later on in editing.
