Paul & Anne Scharnett [8.7.10]

I posted a preview of these pictures back in September, but since it was my first wedding as the official photographer, I thought a full post of my favorite shots (Flickr set) was necessary. As I said in my last post, it was a great blessing to be able to capture these memories for Paul and Anne. I hope you all enjoy these pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them. If you do, share this on Twitter or Facebook (there’s a “Share Bar” at the bottom of the post) and let more celebrate with the Scharnetts! Congratulations, Paul and Anne Scharnett! (With regards to lenses, I used mainly a Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 (standard) and a Nikon 12-24mm f/4 (wide angle). I also rented a Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 (zoom) from Calumet Photo for the weekend and had a 35mm f/1.8 (prime). Those covered all the bases. Also, i shot with my Nikon D300 and my D50 bodies, in case you were wondering.)

Deathly Cold. Warmly Intriguing.

Taken back on January 16, this picture completely portrays the feel of Chicago in winter. Deathly cold, yet extremely intriguing and warm at the same time. Click on the image to see it larger over on my Flickr page. Another good photograph taken around the same time can be seen over at The Windy Pixel. Enjoy!

A Night at the Fair

On 2 Sep ’10 by Bill W. With 1 Comments - Friends, Lightroom, Photography

This post includes several photos from Frontier Days, a yearly summer festival at Frontier Park in Arlington Heights, IL. I brought my Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 lens and my Nikon D50 body, the lightest setup I own, and tried to capture as much low-light imagery that I could. I would have brought my tripod, but I wanted to stay as mobile as possible.

All these shots were edited in Adobe Lightroom tonight after sitting safely on my external hard drive for a couple months. Classic: I take a bunch of pictures, transfer them to my hard drive, plan on editing them, forget about those pics, check back on them, decide that there were some “post-worth” images, edit, and post. Expect several entries in the future to old pictures – possibly several years old.

I also won a stuffed monkey in the shoot-the-water-gun-into-the-small-hole-for-$3, but I gave it to my friend Kelly. What am I going to do with a stuffed monkey?
