A late return.

I apologize about not being here. It has been so long. Alas my computer was very ill with viruses. This can cripple the whole photographic process. Anyway. I'm back. My computer is better, and I have photos.
So here they are. As usual, please leave any comments below.

Well here are a few. I have a lot more to edit and place here, but I only just got the whole computer thing sorted out fully. It took a long time and I missed my ability to edit photos.

Yours,

Stephen

Well I am adding another post today. I am adding this to spread the word about quite possibly the world's best Headshot photographer. He is located in NYC, LA, and Texas. His work is incredible. Also, any photographer will benefit from 5 minutes of looking at his work, watching his youtube videos, or reading his blog.

Check him out : http://peterhurley.com/

You will be glad you did.

June 2nd, 2012. A day to think.

There is supposed to be a Thunderstorm tonight. I am really looking forward to it, to try to get some shots of lightning. I will let you know how it goes.

So these are my end of May shots. Some of these were taken on June 1st. Also there is a retro set of shots - These are my Boston street photos.
I hope you enjoy:
City lights, Oh so bright...

Well that's it for today. I hope you enjoy it. As usual, feel free to leave comments below.

May comes and it goes.

Dear Reader,

Another May has come and gone. I have been at times productive, exuberant, depressed, annoyed, elated, mildly happy, concerned, indifferent, apathetic, truly interested, and a host of other emotions and states. In other words, I have been a normal human. How about you?

Well it is Memorial Day weekend here in the good old USA, and I spent last week shooting some images that kind of reminded me of that. I also shot some things which didn't. But, summer approaches and I look forward to the feel of summer. I will be dedicating some future time to summer shots. I also have two re-edits of previous shots.

As it is, here are my spring is coming to an end shots, for this week at least:

I hope you enjoy. Also I hope you are enjoying your weekend, or if it is over that the workday is off to a good start. I look forward to hearing from you. As usual, leave any comments below. I would love to hear from you.

Yours,

Stephen

Sundays in May

So another Sunday has come and gone. I went for a photo hike through Boston with my friend Michael. We went to the North end for pastries, and then hit Beacon Hill, where we got down to the business of taking photos. Michael has had some experiences with lenses of a different (read that military) nature. It was interesting to discuss the differences and similarities between the lenses we have both looked through on our paths through life.

So here are the photos from Beacon Hill and the Public Gardens. I ended up lending my flash to a woman and man who were trying to take a photo of the fountain with a camera phone. They were timing it with her exposure and he would just manually fire the flash. I hope they got something usable.

Once I read somewhere, that the street with the cobblestone is the most photographed street in America. I'm not sure if it is true, but I can see why. 

 

P.S. Michael's eye and input were invaluable in getting these shots. He has a real latent talent for seeing light and the way it plays off the detail in a scene. Also his eye for leading lines in the photos is top-notch. I may have gone my own way with one or two of the shots that I took, but mostly I compromised with the input from Michael. With some practice and refinement, I believe he could easily be a very good professional photographer. As far as I am concerned, the Copyright information on these photos will be changed to: Copyright Stephen Siteman/Michael King 2012 - when I get around to changing it in Lightroom. 

April 29 - Sunday funday

So I have a few photos from this week. I don't have a lot to say on them. I just hope you enjoy.

Happy Marathon Monday.

Well another marathon has come and gone. I hope everyone who ran today was OK. It was unusually hot.
I woke up around 5:30 AM and took a couple of pictures. I edited them and put up one from the other day.
The first three are all available light. It was 6 AM by the time I took the pics of the flowers outside.

All photos had minor editing in Lr 4 .

Hope you enjoy.
