Portraits with a 50mm lens.
Sometimes the only description you can come up with is a "Cool Breeze in a Neenah Alley"! Made me think of what the phrase Cool Breeze means... A quick Google search turns up 166,000,000 hits for cool breeze. Not much help! I guess to me a Cool Breeze is someone…
I was not always a 50mm fan! My first "good" lens was the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 - the nifty fifty. I shot everything with it and after a while got a little bored. The same perspective on every photo and I shot everything pretty much wide open. Fast forward…
Let's be friends! The best pictures tell stories. One look and you mind starts asking questions - who is she? What is she thinking? What does she want? You cannot really pose a picture like this. At least most of the time. You have to be ready to catch the…
A great example of low light photography with a wide aperture lens. I used a Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 lens for this shot along with a Canon 7d camera. If you look closely you can see the hand blur from the slow 1/40sec shutter time and a bit of fill…

So much going on behind those eyes... the world is ahead of her and the only limitation is her imagination. Just a quick portrait sometimes captures the best expressions. A hint of a smile and we wonder what she is thinking about. Canon Rebel XSi |Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 |…
Ah Summer! Wish it were here. Lazy days, warm weather and photo opportunities without frostbite! I was out with a friend doing some "street" photos on the 4th of July in Neenah. She finally collapsed (with dramatic flair) and the photog became the model! Canon 5d mkIII | Canon EF…
Met the fabulous AJ in Oshkosh for a medium format film photo shoot. Mainly a practice with my Bronica ETRS camera so I could hone my skills and try out a few things. Just to be on the safe side we also shot some digital with my handy Canon 50mm…
A cold Winter Night with a beautiful young model. I was shivering (she was warm!) and basically doing "run and gun" to shoot as fast as possible. We found a cool courtyard in Menasha with a neat mix of Christmas lights and lamp posts. I just love this pose as…
