a minute to enjoy the day

I had a few minutes after a photo shoot the other day to sit and enjoy the amazing day. I grabbed some video of the clouds dancing above me (need to edit those still) and I grabbed my fisheye lens to try to capture everything I could in one shot.

I could have laid there all day…

Vegas

I have been horrible with blogging lately. I’ve got a few sessions and weddings to post and I plan to get those up over the next month or so. Life is flying by and it’s been a lot of fun!

A few weeks ago, my dad’s side of the family went out and celebrated what would have been my Grandpa’s birthday. Grandpa and Grandma Stenz loved Vegas and spent a lot of time there, so it was fitting to have a gathering to celebrate there. I decided before we went that there were a few shots I wanted to get. I’m happy to say that I was able to get all of them, and then some. I wanted to go out early one morning (so I headed into the desert at 4am one day), I wanted a nighttime shot of the strip (which allowed for a day shot as I was scoping out locations), and I wanted to get to Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam to get some shots.

As a bonus, when we got near Lake Mead, we decided to take a short helicopter ride (Jess, my sisters and I). I’ve been in helicopters before, yet they hadn’t, so it was great chance to get a little taste of it.

All in all, it was a great few days with the family.

Took pictures! Actually, I put my camera down for most of the weekend to spend time with my lovely wife, a good book, and nature. We have had some absolutely amazing weather the past few days and Jess and I took every advantage of it we could. Long walks, kayaking on three lakes, laying on a dock looking up at the stars – it was a truly beautiful weekend.

Here’s to a beautiful fall! May you get every chance to enjoy it!

360 panoramic sunrise

I’ve been playing around with 360 virtual panoramic photography in the last few days and wanted to share one with you. Below is a full panoramic shot from the sunrise this morning. As you can see, it’s not perfect by any means. Yet I’m excited to be making these so I wanted to show one off ;-)

If it’s not working, make sure you have QuickTime installed. You can hold “Ctrl” to zoom out and “Shift” to zoom in. You can click and drag it around to see a full 360 degrees.
