Baseball in Lancaster

August 15th, 2008 by Scott

I finished a video editing gig in Harrisburg then headed over to Lancaster to meet Angie and my mom (I grew up in Lancaster) for dinner before Angie’s gig at the baseball stadium.

After helping her setup her caricature equipment, I spent a little time relaxing taking photos at the park.

Since we got in before the stadium opened, I was able to get a few pictures of empty seats. The one picture of the empty seats I really like because the colors from the setting sun was just amazing.

Then as the stadium began to fill, there was that moment of scattered spectators getting ready for the game. That same setting sun is reflected in the window just moments before it dipped before the horizon.




Trip to Atlantic City

August 15th, 2008 by Scott

A good friend (Pepka) and I drove down to Atlantic City to catch a show at the Trump Marina. While there, we swung down to The Pier at Caesar’s to enjoy the beach.

I’ve worked at Caesar’s many times doing magic, but this was nice just getting a chance to enjoy the sights and snap a few pictures.

Three seconds after I took this picture, that wave just about soaked my camera back and all my lenses! I saved the bag and lenses but my Sketchers, which I set down next to the bag, took the fall instead.

This was another 50mm lens shot. I just love that lens! Settings were f/4.8 at 1/3000 shutter and ISO 200. I also over exposed it ever so slightly and warm balanced to a bluish card to give it that super warm, summer beach feel. It reminds me a lot of an old film camera I used to have.

Downtown Philly

My wife and I were put up overnight at a hotel in Center City for a gig Monday morning. So while looking out our window Sunday night, I snapped this quick picture.

I took it with my D70 set at ISO500, f/2.8 and exposure set to 2 seconds using my 50mm lens.

Giggin’ at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor

June 23rd, 2008 by Scott

Last night I had some free time to hang out at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor before a gig for a client at the Marriott. So I enjoyed the beautiful day, took a few pictures and then walked over to the hotel for the gig. These aren’t my best pictures, but I am trying to keep taking pictures more and more often.

The picture of the cleat was taken with a 50mm lens at 1.8 and ISO 200. I’ve alway’s loved the look of a 50mm and, especially, the fast 1.8 that gives me the depth of field.

And I’ve got to say that the view from the upper floor of the hotel was awesome. I took a picture from my iPhone from the room in which I was performing.

I should also mention, I’ve been updating the photostream at my Flickr page. You can find that here.
