Snapshots of MGM Studios

(Marcus & Dilano) — Mon, 06 Jan 2014 05:42:17 GMT

I am sharing a few photographs that I took at MGM studios when we visited last spring. For thrill seekers MGM seemed to have more adult thrill rides than the other parks. We had a great time but the most memorable moment was at the 50′s Prime Time Cafe. Since I did not finish my […]

Travis and Amber’s Spicy & Sweet Engagement Session

(Marcus & Dilano) — Fri, 03 Jan 2014 12:07:42 GMT

The first location of Travis & Amber’s engagement session was Fells Point Baltimore Maryland and the second part took place in Columbia Maryland. It almost felt like there were not only two locations but two chapters to this shoot. The first part would be titled spicy and the second chapter sweet. It was cool to […]

Day Three at the Eldorado Resort and Spa

(Marcus & Dilano) — Tue, 31 Dec 2013 08:31:47 GMT

Well the day finally arrived for my buddy John to get married. Although I knew that J & K had hired videographers and a photographer I found myself wishing that Marcus was here. Thankfully Kristeen’s dad had covered a few events for family and friends and is an avid landscape photographer. I headed up to […]

Smiles for the Camera

(Marcus & Dilano) — Fri, 27 Dec 2013 05:51:45 GMT

This is a portrait of my niece taken on Christmas day. I know it is technically not the most flattering pose but when taking photographs at family events I really value the candid photographs more than anything else. When I look back at the photographs I feel more of a connection and through them I […]

Blake & Ashley’s Fells Point Engagement Session

(Marcus & Dilano) — Fri, 20 Dec 2013 05:30:31 GMT

Blake and Ashley’s engagement session started off in Federal Hill and ended in the Fells Point area of Baltimore Maryland. From the onset of the shoot they were both full of smiles and giggles. Seeing as how Ashley is a Steelers fan and Blake roots for the Ravens, I imagine Sunday afternoons make for some […]

She’s Getting Older

(Marcus & Dilano) — Thu, 19 Dec 2013 05:00:30 GMT

I look at these photographs of my niece and I am amazed at how time flies. She’s wrapping up her senior year and at Thanksgiving we found out that she got accepted into the nursing program that she had applied for. It was just this past summer her and her “boyfriend” stayed with us at […]

Finally Colored Lights

(Marcus & Dilano) — Thu, 19 Dec 2013 03:43:26 GMT

We have never been allowed to put up colored lights in our house until this year. Cristy has always been against them but she finally gave in. Although now that they are up I find that I miss the white lights :-). http://www.marcusdilanophotography.com Howard County Wedding & Portrait PhotographersFiled under: Christmas, Landscapes and Other Stuff, […]

Day Two at the El Dorado Resort & Spa

(Marcus & Dilano) — Tue, 17 Dec 2013 03:46:09 GMT

So what do you do when you’re at a beautiful resort in the Riviera Maya? You play chess. While taking a walk after breakfast we came across this giant chess board. Darrell did not realize that he was up against the Chess Champion at age 7 in his elementary school. Actually I lost the championship […]

Kevin & Nicole’s Wedding at Preston Hall

(Marcus & Dilano) — Mon, 16 Dec 2013 03:17:00 GMT

A few months ago Marcus and I had the pleasure of photographing Kevin & Nicole’s wedding at Preston Hall in Baltimore MD. They were surrounded by family & friends that clearly loved them. There was a moment or two that brought tears to Kevin’s eyes but when he looked at Nicole you could see joy […]

Epcot Center’s Illuminatons

(Marcus & Dilano) — Sun, 15 Dec 2013 15:53:28 GMT

I was really surprised by the pyrotechnic displays that we saw at the Disney parks at night. Over the years I have seen firework displays in Washington DC, New York and Baltimore and I think what I saw at Epcot Center rivals all of those. Epcot Center’s show is called Illuminations “Relections of Earth”. The […]

The Groom & His Men

(Marcus & Dilano) — Fri, 13 Dec 2013 05:42:35 GMT

This photo was taken last weekend in the grooms hotel room at the Embassy Suites in Baltimore Maryland. There was so much laughter and great vibes in the suite that Marcus and I just wanted to hang out with these guys. We did remember to take a few photographs and this was one of them. […]

Precious

(Marcus & Dilano) — Fri, 13 Dec 2013 05:41:30 GMT

I remember photographing this little girl when she and her sister were just a few weeks old. Ten months later she was crawling around and following me everywhere I went. At one point while I was laying on the ground she crawled up to me and laid her head on my back :-). Sadly it […]

Love in Black and White

(Marcus & Dilano) — Thu, 12 Dec 2013 06:20:37 GMT

I kept going back and forth between processing this in color or black and white. I spent quite some time editing this photograph and I thought it was a stronger image processed as a black and white. This photograph was taken during an engagement session outside of the American Visionary Art Museum in Federal Hill […]

Passion Part II

(Marcus & Dilano) — Wed, 11 Dec 2013 07:03:01 GMT

I love it when I come across a couple holding hands or sneaking a quick kiss in public. I remember last year while walking around DC taking a few landscape photographs I came across a couple sitting on a bench near the Smithsonian Museum in D.C. The couple appeared to be in their sixties or seventies. What I saw was this couple […]

The Grounds of Disney’s Epcot Center

(Marcus & Dilano) — Wed, 11 Dec 2013 05:59:10 GMT

As I mentioned in a previous post out of all of the Disney Parks I had the most fun at Epcot Center. I could probably spend an entire week taking photographs inside this park without getting bored. Looking forward to going back in a few years. Filed under: Disney World, Landscapes, Landscapes and Other Stuff, Photography, Photos […]

Canon 70-200mm & The Bride

(Marcus & Dilano) — Tue, 03 Dec 2013 06:07:45 GMT

I am currently editing a wedding that was held at the Belvedere in Baltimore MD and I came across this photograph. I spent a few moments looking at her eyes wondering what she was feeling at that moment. For me the message that her eyes conveyed was joy, happiness, excitement? All of those thoughts crossed […]

Passion

(Marcus & Dilano) — Tue, 12 Nov 2013 06:18:00 GMT

While viewing the photographs from an engagement session we had on Saturday I came across this photograph. I spent a moment analyzing the photograph and I thought wow. I thought this photograph oozes with the passion that this couple has for each other. My wife was sitting close by and I asked why don’t you […]

Senior Portrait Session With Kenny

Two weeks ago we met up with Kenny for his senior portrait session at the McDonough School.

Kenny was is […]

Quick Trip to Morocco

(Marcus & Dilano) — Mon, 04 Nov 2013 07:32:43 GMT

While visiting Disney’s World Showcase Exhibit located in Epcot Center we stopped at the Moroccan exhibit. The World Showcase really makes you feel as though you are in another country. I had the best lamb kabob that I had ever tasted at the Tangierine Café. Next door to the restaurant was a small shop where […]

Taylor Family Portraits Jerusalem Mills Village

(Marcus & Dilano) — Thu, 31 Oct 2013 05:33:51 GMT

Two weeks ago we met up with the Taylor family at Jerusalem Mills Village in Hartford County Maryland for their family portrait session. Jerusalem Mills Village is a very popular location for photographers. While we were there we saw over 10 other photographers conducting portrait sessions around us. It was so busy that lines started […]

Engagement Session with Wes & Camilla in Jerusalem Mills Village

(Marcus & Dilano) — Wed, 30 Oct 2013 06:02:09 GMT

We met up with Wes and Camilla for their engagement photo session in Jerusalem Mills Maryland a few weeks ago. Over the course of the hour we laughed and laughed about everything. Maybe it was because I started singing a Prince song during the engagement session but that could not be the reason why everyone was […]

Our Little Visitor

(Marcus & Dilano) — Tue, 29 Oct 2013 06:17:05 GMT

About two weeks ago I had a little visitor stop by unannounced. I arrived at my house and as I got to my front door I noticed a small cat relaxing on my porch. I said “hey little buddy” and he just looked up and said “meow”. I unlocked the door and then I saw him take […]

20 Minute Portrait Session

(Marcus & Dilano) — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 05:59:04 GMT

. Earlier this week I had scheduled a portrait session with Jackie due to the weather forecast that mentioned that we would finally have a weekend that was was not blistering cold and rainy. Well 27 degrees and wind gusts of 30 mph was what greeted me when I woke up on Saturday morning. I called Jackie and she was still up for it and I did not want to miss out on the opportunity. Due to the weather the session only lasted 20 minutes! It actually took me longer to get to the location than it did to photograph Jackie. All in all I am pleased that I was able to get a few decent images from our mini photo shoot! All of the images below were shot with the Canon 6D and the Sigma 85mm 1.4. Thanks again Jackie and I am looking forward to our next portrait session this summer!

Lego Vampire Castle

(Marcus & Dilano) — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 06:01:42 GMT

For Christmas my son wanted all things Lego. Lego video games, Lego sleep ware, Lego books etc etc. Now I think Lego’s are a fantastic idea for kids because you have to read the instructions carefully and learn to follow directions. All of which my 6 year old has a very hard time doing . So in the end it was mom and dad ended up putting together this 948 piece Lego set. Thankfully it was only 948 pieces because after a trip to the Lego store last weekend we discovered some Lego sets have more than 4,000 pieces lol. It’s kind of funny because when I was growing up in the 80′s Lego’s were around but kids really did not play with them and I cannot recall ever asking for Lego’s as a child. An d the prices for some of these sets are ridiculous!! Apparently this castle must be a hot item because I see the set listed on Ebay for close to $150! Maybe I am just becoming an old grumpy curmudgeon because at that price I would expect it to come pre-built out of the box lol. At the end of the day my son was happy and that is what really counts!

Re-edit

(Marcus & Dilano) — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 05:40:21 GMT

Over the weekend while working on a blog post containing our favorite photos of 2012 I came across this photo of Michelle that was taken in Sept of last year. For some reason I really enjoy the look and feel of this photo but I thought what would it look like in black and white. I took the photo back into Lightroom and came up with the image below. Michelle has really beautiful eyes which are a distinct blue and of course by making it a B/W I lose some of the impact from her eyes. Which photo do you prefer?

Sigma 85 1.4, Canon 6D & Michelle Part II

(Marcus & Dilano) — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 07:47:19 GMT

Well the weather in the northeast will not be kind to us photographers this weekend unless you don’t mind the 30 degree temps, 35 mph wind gusts, rain, sleet & snow . Thankfully us Marylander’s will miss the major brunt of the impending storm and I am keeping my fingers crossed that when I wake up tomorrow things won’t be so bad. We have been thwarted by the weather a few times in January and I am waiting not so patiently for some decent weekend weather. At this point I will just settle for a sunny Saturday or Sunday! In this post I am just sharing a few more images from our session with Michelle that occurred a couple of weeks ago.

Sigma 85 1.4, Canon 6D & Michelle

(Marcus & Dilano) — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 05:39:52 GMT

The month of January has not been kind to photographers that schedule portrait sessions on location. The average temperature has been a 47 fun loving degrees. This past week we had some pretty wild swings for instance Monday a high of 42, Wednesday 74 and today a high of 34 and there is about an inch of snow on the ground and of course most weekends were cold only to have it warm up in the middle of the work week.

Back in December I purchased the Canon 6D and I must say that it performed extremely well at the New Years Eve wedding that Marcus and I photographed. Due to the fact that it is a full frame camera I was able to use the Sigma 85mm 1.4 for everything besides the group shots and I plan on sharing a few of those images in the next few weeks.

The unfortunate weather we have experienced on our weekends here in MD has forced us to cancel two portrait sessions in January. I was getting tired of testing out the camera by shooting objects in my house so I decided to give a friend of mine a call to see if she would be willing to take some environmental portraits in nearby Ellicott City Maryland. Thankfully Michelle was free so we met up for a quick photo session and here are a few of the photos taken on that day.

Bicentennial Celebration of the War of 1812 at the Baltimore Inner harbor

(Marcus & Dilano) — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 04:57:44 GMT

Last summer our family visited Baltimore for a maritime festival that brought quite a few tall ships & warships to the Inner Harbor. The festival lasted for a full week and ships from other countries such as Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador, Indonesia as well as the US dropped Anchor and offered tours while they were there. The event also brought along an air show by the Blue Angels which was pretty awesome! I did not end up taking as many photographs that I would have liked because I wanted to take in the excitement with my children.

Interesting that It was only about 2pm and this pirate appeared to be inebriated. But hey he is a pirate so I guess that fits the bill?

From this side of the harbor you can get a clear view of Federal Hill. During the Civil War Federal Hill was occupied by Union Forces. Canons were placed on the hill and aimed at the city as a warning to be faithful to the Union.

In Front of Federal Hill is one of Baltimore’s most popular restaurants the Rusty Scupper.

It was really cool to see this ship pull in. Crowds immediately formed to tour this ship as well as take pictures with the soldiers.

My son wanted to take a picture with a soldier. It’s a shame that in both photos his eyes were not open lol!

These folks were quite lucky. They were able to catch the air show from the comfort of their rooftop balconies!

The Simmon’s Family

(Marcus & Dilano) — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 05:57:42 GMT

Last October I met up with the Simmons family for a portrait session at Allen Pond in Bowie Maryland. I had never been to this location before and was pleasantly surprised to see just how beautiful it was. Little Kyran was full of smiles except when they tried to set him down to let him walk around but that day he was not having any of that! He was perfectly happen to stay right in his mothers arms that is until we arrived at a small playground lol. Some people don’t like photographing children because they claim that it is very challenging and frustrating but I have found out that I like it due to how challenging it can be. I don’t know but I find it rewarding to get 1 or 2 great shots and the effort it takes to get them. Here are some of the photographs that were taken that day. Looking forward to another family photo session with this family later this year to see how much Kyran has grown.

Hilda + Clarence | Georetown Engagement Session

(Marcus & Dilano) — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 05:25:37 GMT

2013 is going to rock… in part because we get to shoot the wedding of these two incredible people.

Dino and I had the opportunity to photograph the engagement session of Hilda and Clarence last weekend in Georgetown. Fortunately, we’ve been having some pretty amazing weather, so conditions were better than we could have imagined. During the wedding consultation Hilda mentioned that they were dog owners and that they would possibly be at the wedding. So, when Hilda and Clarence arrived with Chance and Sunshine leading the way, we were really excited. Below are some of our favorite shots from the session.

My hour with Finn

(Marcus & Dilano) — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 05:57:42 GMT

After shooting a wedding in September the sister of the bride Abby reached out to us because she wanted to have some portraits taken of her son Finn. As a parent the joy I have received over the years from watching my little ones grow from speechless, sleepy babies to little people with distinct personalities has been amazing. To have an opportunity to spend time with another family’s little bundle of joy warms my heart. After all who does not like babies?? At times during the shoot I would even forget that I was hired to photograph little Finn instead of play with him lol. For some reason Finn kept trying to show me his cute little feet . As I type this now I cannot help but smile at remembering my time spent with little Finn.

There he goes with the feet again

At this age everything gets a taste test

Family Photo Time

(Marcus & Dilano) — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 05:18:17 GMT

For the last two months my wife has been asking me when are we going to take our seasonal family photos. So on Saturday I asked Marcus if he could help me out and he drove the 40 miles down to my house for a 15 minute photo shoot! I must say it feels very weird being in front of the shutter and not behind it. I am very thankful to have a great friend as my business partner. He told me afterwards that he just wanted to get a few shots in with the 6D .

Maddison Turns Two!

(Marcus & Dilano) — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 06:58:59 GMT

Last month one of my best friends threw a party for his two year old daughter Maddison. I have know Eric for over 25 years and we have shared so much over the course of our lives. I remember the night that he found out his wife was pregnant because it was a guys night out and we were hanging out in Baltimore at some trendy bar when his phone rang. Looking back now I think he almost went into shock because when he hung up the phone he did not say anything for almost 30 seconds or so. We all thought something was wrong until he said wow his wife is pregnant. We all congratulated him and we could tell he was still in quite a shock and finally I said hey buddy maybe you should go home and be with your wife. He said yeah yeah that is probably a good idea. Laughing as I type this now because I am sure he would have came to the same conclusion eventually but I was the only one at the time that had kids and had been through what he was going through. Well two years later he is a proud father with a beautiful little girl.

We are all just happy that Eric came back from Afghanistan in time for his daughters birthday. If you remember from a blog post this summer I had done a few portraits of his wife and daughter so they could send them to him while he was deployed. He came back in the middle of October and we were all so happy that he arrived home safely.

All of these photographs were taken with the 7D and the Tamron 28-75mm combo. The lighting was rather difficult inside and the ISO stayed at between 3200 and 5000. After looking at these photos in LR it really pushed me into thinking about going the full frame route.

Waiting for the Train

As I mentioned in a previous post I recently purchased my first full frame camera. And like a kid with a new toy I have been itching to pull it out and take photos whenever and wherever I can. Well the kids were at their grandparents this weekend so I woke up early Saturday morning and decided to go and try and find something interesting to photograph. After driving to two different local parks I realized that I was having a difficult time finding inspiration in the scenes around me. It was also drizzling a little which also did not help matters. While at one of the parks I decided to give a friend a call who has modeled for Marcus and I in the past to see what she was doing the following day. Turns out that she was busy on Sunday but she was available to shoot in a few hours. Hard to believe that Lisa is a mother of 3 boys of which one is already in college! She is one of those rare people that has a fun and bubbly personality, always the life of a party .

I will admit it I am probably the only guy that I personally know that has a pinterest account and I am always scouring the photos on there to come up with new ideas for portrait sessions. I like some of the senior portrait sessions that utilized railroad tracks and I was planning to contact a model to work on a similar project soon. Well since Lisa was available I ran home grabbed some old bags of luggage and off we went.

Since this was not a paying client it allowed me the freedom to use LR and PS to do edit in ways that the average person may not appreciate. I also realize that I should have noticed that in some shots here pink tank top was showing and should have tried to either change the color to match the green sweater she was wearing. I may have gone a little crazy with some of the presets I chose to use I but I wanted to do something different and I like how many of the photos turned out. In this series of photos my favorites are #1 and #4.

Remove the couple in the photo?

(Marcus & Dilano) — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 05:40:17 GMT

Last month Marcus wanted me to take some photographs of his family at Brookside Botanical Gardens which is just outside of Washington D.C. While waiting for him to arrive I took a walk around the park to see if there was anything interesting to photograph. Of about the 20 pictures taken of the grounds the photo below is my favorite. I am tempted to go back and crop this photograph just a little because of the couple that appears in the far left side of this photograph. When I set up this shot I did see the couple in my frame and decided to keep them in the picture. I had walked behind the couple earlier and I noticed that the man was massaging the woman’s temples. She also appeared to be 7 or 8 months pregnant and she was just leaning back and enjoying the view. I thought by keeping them in the frame it would add to the story but since no one else will know why they are in the frame it just detracts from the overall image especially due to where they appear in the frame. I am looking at a 11X14 print of this image while I create this blog post and I think that I will have to remove them to make the image stronger. Am I thinking too much about this? What do you think? Thanks!

Photos from the past

(Marcus & Dilano) — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 07:53:06 GMT

Last weekend I was browsing through some of the images that I had taken this past summer. Specifically images that for some reason or another I did not think were worth editing or printing etc. I came across 3 photos of my wife from a session that Marcus and I did earlier. After looking a little more closely at the images I decided to play with them in LR. Now I still cannot say that I love them but I will say that I do like them. Sadly my wife still hates them lol…

Canon 6D Part II

(Marcus & Dilano) — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 09:18:08 GMT

As I mentioned in the last post I purchased the Canon 6D and the 24-105 lens over the weekend and luckily I had a family portrait session scheduled for Saturday at the Baltimore Inner Harbor. Earlier that morning I took my kids to the park just to make sure I would be comfortable enough to use it on a paid job. I was truly amazed at the level of detail that was captured even before importing the unedited images into LR. And it was actually a joy to take a few shots with the Sigma 85mm because I did not have to back up the 30 feet or so I normally would when using that lens for family portraits.

Photography has opened up a whole new world to me. As a child I will admit that I was pretty bad at trying to create anything. When it came to sports and playing the piano I excelled. When it came to drawing, painting, sculpting, wood working… Lets just say I never wanted to bring any of those items home from school to show may parents . In high school and my freshman year of college I took a few courses on photography and I really enjoyed going out and trying to create nice images. But back in those days photography was not cheap. I am not saying that photography is cheap now but back then you had to keep track of how many photographs you were taking back then and in high school and college funds did not runneth over. Over the course of the last few weeks I have gone back and viewed some of the images I have taken over the course of the last year and half and I am kind of proud! I realize that I still have so much to learn and I probably only know 20% of what I need to know but over the course of the next 40 years I hope to get there . Not only have I gotten to meet and photograph some pretty wonderful folks but I have also gotten to know a little about quite a few people here in the blogosphere. The criticism’s and the compliments have allowed me to improve my photography as well as gather some new ideas and for that I am very thankful!

The images below are from the portrait session that I mentioned earlier and not only did I have a great time but it was the first time ever that I did a shoot under an hour and I felt as though I was able to provide enough images that they got their monies worth. Dalton their baby boy was just full of smiles and giggles and it was a joy to work with such a happy baby.

Really like this shot but I should have seen the pole in the back ground. Will try and remove it in post but arrgghhh.

Canon 6D & 24-105L Part 1

(Marcus & Dilano) — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 05:58:05 GMT

For months I had been waiting for Canon to release the rumored cheaper full frame camera. I originally came across an article back in August that Nikon and Camera were going to be releasing a full frame camera at around a price of $1,600. Since then Marcus and I have been holding out and waiting for any type of news surrounding the possible release. Finally in September Nikon came out I believe at Photokina and released the Nikon D600. When I saw the specs on that camera I was jumping for joy although the price of $2,100 was not necessarily what any one including me was expecting but at least it was more attainable in comparison to the D800. The very next day Canon announced that the 6D was going to be coming out in December and after looking at the specs Marcus and I were both terribly disappointed Yes it had a full frame sensor but a 97% view finder? 1 SD card slot versus 2? 11 focus points versus 39? 4.5 fps versus 5.5 fps? Built in flash versus none? Also not that it really matters but I did not realize that with Nikon full frame cameras you have the ability to use crop sensor lenses which I admit I would probably never do but hey I am just throwing that in to the equation too. Due to the above I could not understand why Canon was charging the exact same price for the 6D that Nikon was charging for the D600? I was really disappointed in the features that the 6D had when comparing to the Nikon D600. Yes the Canon has WiFi and better maximum light sensitivity but who would ever need to shoot at 102,400 ISO?

Well after the announcement I went to work on a spreadsheet to see if I could justify selling my gear and switching over to Nikon and although I would have enough money to buy the camera and maybe 1 or 2 decent lenses I realized I would have to replace flashes, grips, batteries and learn a whole new camera system. So I told myself I will wait until Canon releases the 6D and I start seeing some reviews and photographs before jumping ship.

Last week Wednesday I saw an article that stated that the Canon 6D started shipping in Singapore and I got a little excited again but after googling everything about the 6D that was the only recent article I came across that talked about a ship date. Then Thursday night I saw another article that stated B&H and a Canon Authorized dealer on Ebay were shipping the camera’s here in the US. The next morning I talked with Marcus and while talking he whipped out his phone and called a local camera store and they informed him that they just received the camera that morning and they were offering a $300 rebate on the kit and a $200 rebate on the body. I was only working a half day so after I left work I ran down to the store with the intention of possibly purchasing the 6D body only. But when I got to the store they told me that the kit was all that they had and they would not have the camera without the lens for sale until possibly the following Friday. $2,599 was the price of the 6D with the 24-105L and I thought why not just buy the kit and sell the lens because after checking out the lens on my phone I realized that the lens sold new for $1,200. On my way home I felt a little nauseous which frankly I always do whenever I buy something for myself. I even went back to the office to discuss the purchase with Marcus before going home. I actually once bought a playstation and returned it later that afternoon only to buy one again the following day . This was no play station purchase. Thankfully I told my wife that I was going to be purchasing a new camera with the money that Marcus and I have made this year. But even I did not expect to spend what I did. Oh well I will be selling the 7D and another lens or two on Ebay to help ease some of the pain.

If you have made it this far into this blog post I am surprised because I just realized I may have done quite a bit of babbling so I just wanted to share with you a photograph I took after a family portrait session I had on Saturday at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore MD. This is a photograph of the power plant which was built between 1900 and 1909. I will post the photographs from the family portrait session shortly. When I got home and downloaded the images off of the camera the first thing that struck me was how sharp everything was. Also the better high dynamic range was also evident at least to me. I said to myself wow I feel as though I don’t really even need to to edit the photographs from the session . The sharpness and level of details had me calling Marcus right away!! The only problem I have is trying to figure out what made the biggest difference. The camera or the lens? I will post some more photographs later today. Oh one last thing. I took quite a few shots at ISO’s ranging from 4,000 to 12,000 and then compared them to shots on my 7D. This is where I think most people will find the value because at an ISO of 10,000 I thought that the images blew away the ones taken with my 7D at 6,400 ISO and that will come in handy for future weddings!

Canon 6D Un boxing

(Marcus & Dilano) — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 15:44:22 GMT

So after weeks of deciding do I leave Canon and switch to Nikon I have decided to stay with Canon. I took some test shots earlier today and at 12,000 iso I was pretty blown away. I plan on doing some test shots shortly and will share them later tonight. I also have to say I have seen the light when it comes to why some folks prefer to stick with L series glass. My intention was to sell the kit lens as soon as I came home. Now I fear that I may sell my Tamron 24-70 to justify keeping the 24-105 that came with the camera.

The Bride Marisa

(Marcus & Dilano) — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 06:38:03 GMT

We previously shared a few photos of the groom Ty getting prepped for his wedding. Marcus and I happen to enjoy taking photos of the groom getting prepared for his big day but lets face it, most relatives and guests want to see the photographs of the bride. They don’t have a show say yes to the tux!

Today I am doing a quick posting of a few more shots of Ty getting prepared for his wedding. In my last post I shared a few shots of the groom getting ready for his wedding and I just realized I published the wrong draft which left out the photographs below. Serves me right for trying to rush and put out a blog post before heading off to work!

Wow where has this year gone? Even though it shouldn’t it amazes me that as I get older time really does seem to fly by. It feels like it was just a few weeks ago that we had the engagement session with Ty and Marisa when in fact it was way back in July. Well Marcus and I were blessed with the opportunity to photograph their September wedding and I must say that what we witnessed that day are two people that truly love and adore each other. Here are some photographs of the groom preparing for his big day.

Shark!!!!

(Marcus & Dilano) — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 05:31:52 GMT

No actually just a dolphin but everyone was racing for their kids until we all realized what we were really seeing. Then everyone raced back to their bags and grabbed their cameras . The guys in this photo were swimming when they heard the commotion and they quickly swam in to the shore. On this day there a group of maybe 8 dolphins that made an appearance and it was quite the site to see!

Looking for a Ghost

(Marcus & Dilano) — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 05:13:16 GMT

One morning after striking out looking for wild ponies on Assateague I decided to drive around and look for anything else to photograph and I came across this cemetary. Not the ideal place to take a photo while on vacation at the beach but I saw the fog surrounding the tombstones and was instantly mesmerized. I am a big fan of the horror genre of films and a part of me wished I could see someone or something walking out of the fog towards me and how cool would that be? :-) Come to think about it maybe not so cool after all because I would have probably dropped my camera and hightailed it out of there lol..

The Verrazano Bridge

(Marcus & Dilano) — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 08:49:37 GMT

My family and I vacation on the eastern shore every year for 10 days or so. This year I brought a lot of my camera gear so that I could document the trip and include my favorite photographs in a photobook. I used a service called MyPublisher to build the photobook and I have to say I was extremely pleased with the outcome!

I would wake up around 5:30 in the mornings and head out to Assateague Island which is about 30 minutes away from our location. Every morning I would go hunting ”with my camera” to shoot “photograph” some of the wild ponies that run around on the Island and sadly I struck out on capturing any of them on my early morning jaunts. The good news is that I would always find something else to shoot. As a child I have always had a fascination for bridges and on one of those mornings I stopped to shoot the Verrazano bridge which connects Assateague Island to the mainland.

Michelle Part III

(Marcus & Dilano) — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 06:40:58 GMT

I am just sharing the final series of photographs that we have from our session with Michelle that were taken a few weeks ago. Until this portrait session I have never really taken portraits using a DOF less than 1.8. But I have come to find out that I really enjoy the super shallow dept of field at 1.4 and 1.6 because it can give such a dreamy quality and isolates the distractions from the focus of your image. Now if I could only ensure that I nailed focus while doing so!! I am going to have to refrain from being too enthusiastic because the next thing I know I will end up shooting anything and everything at that setting which could be disastrous. I guess I can always rely on Marcus to be the level headed one in the partnership! lol

Session with Michelle part II

(Marcus & Dilano) — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 11:18:05 GMT

I am sharing a few more photographs from our photo session with Michelle that we did a couple weeks ago. As I mentioned in the first post I think the photographs did get progressively better as the shoot went along. The only lens I used for this shoot was the Sigma f1.4 85MM lens and I experimented a lot during this shoot with using a shallow of depth of field. Nailing focus at 1.4 is mighty difficult and I definitely need more practice lol. Marcus shot with the 70-200mm f2.8 and the 50mm 1.4. All in all I was very happy with the outcome of this group of photographs and thankfully so was Michelle.
