A busy month!

It took a while to re-orient myself after getting back from the Middle East.

This month I've photographed a couple of events at the Convention Center, some beautiful hand-made furniture and very tasty (if you're a dog) premium dog treats.

I also did a video shoot for our friends at Water Street Mission of the Thanksgiving Banquet, and on 'Black Friday' took a few shots of Santa and the Tree Lighting in Penn Square  (with thanks to Jon and the hotel security staff who kindly provided access to the roof of the Marriott Hotel!)

One of the things I love about photography is the infinite variety of subjects - each one of them interesting and challenging in their own way.

Marketing photographs is also a challenge.  My day at the Flea Market area of Root's Market turned out to be a very cold and unproductive day.  I met some very nice people but only sold two photographs - even though most people who saw my work spoke well of it.  So in December I'm going to pursue other possible retail opportunities.

The little Canon Pixma iP100 I bought to take to Iraq produces incredible prints up to 8.5" x 11"   It's probably on the expensive side with ink, but it is so convenient when you need a high quality print in a hurry - great for photo-booths!

One other piece of equipment I used a few days ago that will be of interest to D800 shooters is the Atomos Ninja 2 video recorder.  Plugged into the side of the D800 it records video directly from the camera's sensor in HDMI.  I was impressed with the high quality of the video obtained that way.

But now I have to spend some time on the computer processing raw images :-)

I hope you have opportunities to get some great winter shots!
