Vegas Convention


The annual WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) convention was held in Las Vegas Feb. 15-18. I attended a few receptions and meetings and managed to capture this image from a room at the MGM hotel. It's a good example of "HDR" imaging, which means High Dynamic Range. Three photos layered together to capture the most detail in shadows AND highlights.

The Red Rocks west of Las Vegas are a great place for photos, especially in the early morning or late afternoon. Another experiment in HDR.

Virtual Backgrounds Workshop


I just returned from doing a monthly workshop for Virtual Backgrounds in Texas. I share with other professional photographers the advantages of using this system in the studio. It's always great to work with others from all over the country to exchange creative and business ideas. Thanks to Jennifer who did a great job modeling for us!

Sunrise On Flathead Lake


Being the dead of winter, it isn't often this kind of sunrise happens in the valley. The colors were spectacular for only a minute. This week looks to be almost spring like with temps in the mid 40's.
