Stern Views

I went out with a couple friends 2 weeks ago to shoot photos around Lawrence and I’m pleased with the results. The last two photos posted here use an off camera flash for dynamic lighting. This is a new technique for me that I’m trying to grasp to further my knowledge and understanding of photography. If you are interested in learning about creative and dynamic lighting, I highly recommend the blog Strobist. The flash I used here is a Nikon SB-600 with a Sto-Fen Omnibounce Diffuser.

Over the Memorial Day holiday weekend my wife and I traveled to Omaha to visit my family and during our stay we visited the Henry Doorly Zoo. I particularly enjoyed the following photos from our visit to the zoo.
