fields of rye....

I recently rented a Canon 1Ds Mark III 21MP camera. Although I like the quality of shot, and the detail that can be taken, it was frustrating to use in other ways, making it hard to justify the $8,0000 (body only) price tag.

For the shot below I used the RAW format for image quality and had a 16-35 lens attached. It did a great job of capturing the scene, which had many different types of textures present in the image.

If canon would streamline your ability to change the manual focus points faster, i would seriously give it another look, but for now, it's just not the right camera for us.

gottschall sneek peak

He sang to her, he kissed her, he loves her. We had the pleasure of shooting their pre-wedding session, and now Brandon and Erin are back for the main event; their wedding ceremony! The bride was gorgeous, the groom looked rather dashing, and even the bridesmaids were luxuriously dressed. Their reception was held in the beautiful Spartanburg Country Club and everything from their cake to the jazz band, created a perfect mood to their beautiful day. We look forward to their creative session (post-wedding session) where we get to take things up a notch for that truly high-end fashion experience!

the merry bagpipers

I tell you, just give me coldplay and a good set of bagpipes and I'll be set for life! Okay, throw in a cheeseburger every now and then and THEN I'd be set for life. See this is what happens when you post your blog late into the night. You just start spouting drivel like it's the finest fiction this side of the of my shed in the back yard. Anyway, we're headed out folks! That's right, it's vacation time. Don't worry, I'll be posting frequently so don't go anywhere; you'll get your daily getzcreative fix.

Ciao!
