Here's a picture of Annie and Weston on Easter morning. I shot it on our front porch. Judy wanted me to add things that make it look like a magazine cover, so it did it in Photoshop. They look really cute.

3 Beautiful Girls


This is a picture of my wife oldest daughter and granddaughter. I was trying out my new Litesoft flash modifier and it worked great. I literally shot the flash backwards and bouncing off the walls and ceiling it gave me this beautiful lighting.

Erie Moon Shot


Yesterday morning about 6:30am I took this shot of a full moon. Pretty scarey looking almost like a werewolf is lurking out there somewhere.

Bob's leaving


Bob is going to Indianapolis training for his new job driving a semi. He will be gone for 3 or 4 weeks. We pray everything goes well for him. This was shot with my Litesoft modifier.

Grandkids At Christmas

Here's our Grandkids Christmas morning, it's not often we have them altogether like this. Even baby Weston is Noni's arms on the couch eating. Yeah, that makes eight.

Litesoft Modifier








Well, I took a couple of pictures of the large version of my Litesoft modifier. It really scatters the light making pictures evenly lit, even in a large room. I can't get over how much it throws light up and forward showering the room with light. so far all the testing I have done is positive, of course it's not a end all do all device, but it is the answer for a lot of small speed lights that everyone has so much trouble with. Even when it's turned vertical you don't have harsh shadows unless your subject is close to a wall or something close behind them. It's so light you don't even know it's on the camera, and it lays flat for storage. It's kind of like Gary Fongs Lightshere, except you don't lose the power throwing light all over the room, I own 3 Lightsheres and a Whaletail from Gary and they do work. My Litesoft directs light forward, but evenly keeping the power where your shooting. You can turn it to the side and direct the light anywhere you want and because of the black on the back you can use it to throw light where you need it without much spill. I think the craziest thing is when you turn it backwards, you can bounce it off the ceiling and wall or whatever behind you and the pictures come out amazing. I have to get the tech stuff why they come out that way then I'll post it, but I'm excited about what I'm seeing it's very cool. What a cool thing for a wedding in the house or a small room, I won't have to shoot them in the eyes directly. A good thing if your a bride getting flashed hundreds of times in a few hours.
