These are from a cyclocross race at Eagle Island State Park in Boise last weekend. You can look through the rest here; if there’s much interest I’ll try to come out to more races – just leave a comment.
I’m gradually blogging some shoots I did in the last few months; this one is a set of family portraits I photographed at a family reunion in McCall, Idaho on Payette Lake. I tried a slightly different technique with I think works a lot better – typically I’ll set up two flashes angled off to the side, but one died suddenly right as the shoot started, so I improvised and set up the other flash right behind me. It ended up working pretty darn well :-)
Last month I made a trip back to McCall to do some engagement photos with this awesome couple – Liza and Mike. They both work for the Forest Service down in Cascade, so we went for a cool outdoor rugged-yet-refined feel for their photos. We did the entire shoot at Ponderosa State Park (if you aren’t from here, that’s about 10 minutes from downtown and overlooks the lake), which has really been growing on me lately since it has so many different options for places to shoot, backgrounds, etc. It makes a photographer’s life a lot easier. :-)
