Reflection

Shutter Speed = 1/250th sec, F-stop = 11, Focal Length = 50mm (pentax-a fixed 50mm), Film Speed = 400, Handheld

This photo was taken 7-4-11 just outside of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This photo was taken on an old 35mm film Pentax k-1000 slr. There is also no post work done to this photo. I took several shots of these trees in the pond on a DSLR, and I took only one shot on film. This is that one shot, and it came out much better than any of the digital ones did. The true whites and true blacks in this photo create a super high contrast.  

Santa Cruz

Shutter Speed = 15 sec, F-stop = 11, Focal Length = 6.5mm (opteka 6.5mm fisheye), ISO = 1600, Tripod

This photo was taken 7-9-10 in Santa Cruz, CA. On the left is the pier, and on the right the lighthouse. I am positioned on the cliff between Seabright and the Boardwalk. I like how the long exposure made the white water on the shore look like a thick fog. It also has the same pastel look as "Davenport Rails".

Davenport Rails

Shutter Speed = 45 sec, F-stop = 3.5, Focal Length = 18mm (18-55mm canon kit lens), ISO = 800, Set Down On Ground

This photo was taken 7-21-10 in Davenport, CA. It is of a railroad track that runs along the beaches of Highway 1. It was about 3 in the morning when this shot was taken. I really like how it has a very pastel feel to it. It also has a low angle that provides a pretty cool worms eye view.

The Avid Golfers

Shutter Speed = 1 sec, F-stop = 11, Focal Length = 6.5mm (opteka 6.5mm fisheye), ISO = 400, Handheld

This photo was taken 6-9-11 on the golf course we live on in Bixby, Oklahoma. It was about midnight and we were extremely bored and for some reason not tired. My brother Nick and our friend Travis Delamore got in their golf outfits and we took some shots. The lighting is pretty harsh but i think it adds a pretty cool effect. I also love how vibrant the colors are in contrast with the true black background. It's not an amazing photo but its still pretty cool.

Electric

Shutter Speed = 30 sec, F-stop = 5, Focal Length = 21mm (18-55mm canon kit lens), ISO = 400, Mini Tripod

This photo was taken on 6-23-11 on the banks of the Arkansas River in Bixby, Oklahoma. We were launching fireworks and wheelin when we noticed the lightning storm to the west of us. I got out the camera and the mini tripod from my backpack and set them on the roof of my friend Lee Crandall's truck and took this shot. I really like the yellowish orangish glow on the clouds from the Tulsa city lights. I also like the silhouette of the power tower. I feel like most pictures of lightning have a ton of negative space and the power tower fills that in nicely. It is way more hard to photograph lightning than i ever anticipated, especially since I left my tripod in California, so I am also super stoked that I actually got this clear of a shot. 

Double Backflip Sequence

Shutter Speed = 1/2500th sec, F-stop = 4, Focal Length = 70mm (sigma 70-300mm telephoto), ISO = 800, Handheld

This photo was taken 6-25-11 at Jack Creek in Booneville, Arkansas. It is a sequence of a double backflip thrown by my friend Lee Crandall. The rock is probably about 40 ft high. There is a little bit of color correction done but not much else. 

Oakland Temple

Shutter Speed = 1 sec, F-stop = 3.5, Focal Length = 18mm (18-55mm canon kit lens), ISO = 1600, Handheld

This photo was taken 10-7-09 and is of the Mormon Temple in Oakland, CA. There are many aspects about this photo that I find really cool. The detail in the riverbed and trees looks awesome and adds a lot of texture to the image. The temple itself is overexposed, but by doing that it has a seamless and flawless look, and it also gives it a really cool glow. The orange clouds in the sky also contrast really well with the true white of the temple.
