My Scott Kelby Secret
Was covering a charity event lastnight with +Kimberly Courtney at the Willis Foundation for an amazing charity Http://nicksplace.org. During a “break” in shooting I had some great conversation that led to discussing photography techniques for shooting landscapes. After I threw in my two cents the gentelman I was speaking with blurted out “+Scott Kelby right, I own a most of his books” I just smiled and responded that Scott has been my “mentor”, he just doesn’t know it. I like to think that I’m the ONLY one that reads and studies +Scott Kelby ‘s books. Its like my own little secret. Well guess that “Scott” is out of the bag now. Oh and +Glyn Dewis he’s my other “secret” mentor, he just doesn’t know it either!
PS Hope to have images from the charity event next week In the meantime check out Nick’s Place

Sewing Gem
Every once in awhile you stumble on a little gem. This time it happens to be an antique sewing machine. I did a little “work” on this one using Niksoft’s HDR. I gotta admit I love it, of course I used it in conjunction with Photoshop. I will spare you all the details. I will probably end up doing a Photoshop tutorial on it at some point.
Until next time,

Ducks at a Pony party
Hey everyone,
Well its been awhile since we’ve actually posted an image that didn’t come with a tutorial. But there is a lesson here, so don’t fret. 
I had the most AWESOME time at a birthday party this past weekend in a Central Virginia. The guest of honor had her birthday party at a super cool little farm with – you guest it Ponies. There wasn’t just ponies that this here party. No Sirre! There were also ducks, three of that I think. So here are two of them, – oh the lesson. Where there are ponies there are ducks. (Yeah I know that makes no sense at all, but maybe if you take just a bit of time and take in your surroundings you will see there is more than just what you “thought” was there)

Online Lighting Diagram Creator
Hi everyone, sorry we’ve been absent for a bit. Been working on some specific projects that have kept us/me busy. (No I’m not ready to tell you what those projects are yet). Anyways I’ve been reading through some of my favorate blogs and I can’t believe I missed this particular post. Yesterday afternoon I was reading Terry White’s Tech Blog which got me to this pretty cool site to generate a Photography Lighting Diagram. Yeah don’t ask me to explain, check it out yourself. But its pretty stinking cool!

Great Shoot Bored Photo Assistant
Hey there! Well the TiNi Images boys were out this past weekend. We were doing a family portrait shoot in down town Warrenton, VA. We had a good time for the most part. But if you ask my partner you would think we’d been there all day. We managed to get a few shots of Main St. If you live around Warrenton and were cruising down Main St, between 10:00 AM and 11:30 Am you probably saw us. Heck some of you even honked a friendly hello.
Until next time,

Changing things up
Hi everyone, I’m sure you’ve ALL been wondering what we’ve been up to here at good old TiNi Images. Actually we’ve been pretty busy and have decided to try adding to our collection of works. We recently had a chance to work with someone who was gracious enough to let us take her picture. One of the first things we want to say is that the entire shoot was done with minimal amount of photo gear.
- Nikon D300 w/MB-D10 battery back
- Nikon 18-200mm 3.4 len w/hood
- Lastolite 24″x24″ Ezybox hotshoe softbox
- Nikon SB-800 Speedlight (used in the softbox)
- SD-8A Speedlight battery pack
Ya see…not so much stuff.
Until next time,

The Safari Truck
Hi everyone, its been awhile since we’ve posted. Mostly because I’ve been working on a side project and I’m not sure if its something we will be posting here. However, while working on this side project we came across this Photoshop plugin called Topaz Adjust. WOW, this thing is way slick. I’ll save you all the technical speak, take a look the image below. It will give you a sense of what it can do. Oh and yeah, that is an African Safari looking truck. We were at a place called – well “Out of Africa Safari” its a pretty cool place at Camp Verde, AZ. Anyways check out Topaz Labs, I mean that’s why I’m actually writing this post.
Until next time,

Grand Canyon Perch
One of the coolest things about being a photographer is seeing the look on people’s faces when they see your images and it creates a reaction in them. It doesn’t always have to be a positive reaction, almost any reaction will do. Sometimes they will look at an image and criticize it for its technical details, or flaws. Take this one for example, the horizon is crooked. Yes I could have fixed it in Photoshop or Lightroom, but I opted not to. The horizon on this particular image is crooked because of where I was standing, or rather I should say perched. To make it simple I was probably someplace most people would not have ventured to take a photo. Not saying that makes me a better photographer, or that this is even a good image. Part of why photographers shoot, is to bring moments to life. To help the viewer see and feel what the photographer saw, or perhaps the image the photographer is trying to convey. For this one, well its just a selfish image really. I didn’t fix the horizon because I wanted to remember that little place I was perched to take this image.
