US Navy's Blue Angels this past Memorial Day at Jones Beach Long Island New York. Blue Angles are the best flying team without a doubt . Always great to watch. This image was taken with a Nikon D3200 and 70-200 mm 2.8 lens. Processed in Lightroom. First reduced the exposure over all for the sky, then lightened the planes, increased the contrast and boosted the saturation with the radial filter. A simple process.Joe Schmidthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02468597921889952141noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235131849952774462.post-62156188906583857992014-07-23T13:25:00.000-04:002014-07-23T13:25:39.646-04:00Nassau County Police Holy Name Society<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Another portrait session with Bishop Andrzej in St. Agnes Cathedral Rockville Centre NY. Bishop Andrzej is so much fun to work with. He really is just a regular guy. Very easy and patient while we fuss with lights, exposures etc. He always gives us all the time we need. Never a rush job.<br />
<br />
By the way the lighting here is first, available light in the church. A main strobe light (White Lighting) in a softbox (Photoflex) to our left, an accent light with a grid to our right, way to the right, slightly behind Andzej. Both lights were gelled with a full CTO Rosco filter to match the tungsten available light. Exposure was f8 @ 1/8th sec. ISO 500. Camera was Nikon D7100, lens Nikon 18 - 200mm set to 18mm. Processing of NEF RAW file in Lightroom and some retouching by Liz in Photoshop CC 2014.<br />
<br />

What a great time we had capturing the images of this very important occasion. We had the opportunity to meet his Mom, Sister and Niece from Poland. We also met his High School buddy from Poland. We didn't want to ask about any High School stories. It was also great to meet His Eminence Cardinal Edward Egan, Archbishop - Emeritus of New York.<br />

Liz and I
love doing these Executive Portraits. There is nothing worse than an
Executive using a photo that someone took with a point and shoot camera
with a garage door, bed sheet or some other junk in the background. The
only worse thing than that is if it was taken with a cell phone. Now
there is really nothing wrong with these two types of cameras in the
hands of someone that knows how to properly edit them in Photoshop,
Lightroom or some other pro software. Unfortunately the folks using
these cameras have no idea how to use these programs and their subjects
wind up looking like out of focus prisoners. Every Exec should have
professional portrait ready to use at a moments notice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
for a business card, brochure, web site etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our
business portraits are reasonably priced, professionally retouched and
most of the time delivered within hours of being taken. Be sure to call
for an appointment and look professional.</div>

This is my original photo of the Nikon building in Melville NY. Sorry Nikon it was shot with a Samsung Galaxy S4 cell phone. Some work in Photoshop correcting perspective, etc. Then processed in Photomatix to get color effect.<br />
<br />
Below is the result of my experiment. Any opinions on this photo. There are many other results that can be achived in Photomatix, Topaz and other programs.<br />

Here's another Wedding album from 1951 that we have been asked to restore. This client saw the last album we did for her friend, loved it so much she brought her Mom's in. Glad to see these old albums have such great value. Here's what it looks like now. We will post the finished album as soon as it's done.</div>

All of a sudden we have had a run on restoring past wedding albums. Nice to see folks still cherish their albums from the time before shoot, burn, put it in a draw and never do anything with it.
<br />
<div dir="ltr">
We just finished this one from 1957. It's really amazing how much wedding photography has not changed since 1957. All the photos in this album looked about the same as todays weddings.

OK just having some fun today. This is an image shot a number of years ago. If you haven't guess it, it was at a car show. The first effect was Oil Paint in Photoshop, next an effect in Topaz photoFXlab. Frame and mat was done in Pic Monkey online. So, do you like it? Or not.Joe Schmidthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02468597921889952141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235131849952774462.post-73258612701667137992012-04-03T15:23:00.001-04:002012-04-03T15:27:01.513-04:00St Marks Ladies Night Out 2012What a great party!!!!

What a great flower shop. If you haven't been there you should stop by and check out all they have to offer. They have a large variety of gifts, it's not just flowers. Of course they have our note cards, framed Fine Art prints, etc. When you visit them mention our name. Their address is 41 North Village Ave. RVC.<br />

He owned the hotel at that time. We were photographing a wedding rehearsal dinner at the hotel. This was taken back in the days of film, you remember film, don't you? This image was scanned from a print.<br />

<span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Sharkey was in for his portrait. What a great little dog. He would do anything you asked him to do. Of course he expected a treat for everything he did. Good thing his Mommy had a bag full with her. And some toys too to play with during the break.<br />
