Children's Grief Camp

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of shooting a 'Grief' camp run by Savannah Hospice. All of these kids have recently lost a close family member. Many of these children have been severely traumatized by their loss, and this may have been the first fun they've had in months.

I put together this video slide show with a small selection of the 1000 images I took.

My Review of 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED AF-S DX Zoom

Abes of Maine

The world's first constant f/2.8 3.2x zoom lens developed exclusively for use with Nikon DX Format. 3.2x zoom covers from a wide angle of 79° to a narrow angle of 28° 50' (equivalent to 25.5mm to 85.5mm for 35mm format) and is ideal for architecture, landscape, groups shots and portraits.

Pros: Easy To Use, Improves Picture Quality, Compact Design

Best Uses: Landscapes, Shooting Outdoors, Shooting Indoors, Panoramic Filming

Describe Yourself: Professional photographer

This lens makes the Nikon DX cameras perform to professional standards! It is tach sharp, not too heavy, balances well in your hands, is solid, rugged, and moisture resistant. I've shot a wedding in fairly heavy rain with this lens on my D200 camera and got zero internal lens fogging. It's even fallen over on a tripod onto concrete which broke the lens shade and clear filter, but had no effect on the lens itself! (now I can tell why I use a clear filter!!)

My Review of EN-EL4a Rechargeable Li-ion Battery

Abes of Maine

Use Nikon's EN-EL4a Rechargeable Li-ion Battery as a spare battery.

Pros: Easy to Install

Best Uses: Digital Photography

Describe Yourself: Pro Photographer

There's not much to say except, this is the Nikon brand battery, and it works exactly as it should.

Don't trust your expensive camera to an off-brand battery. Li-Ion batteries are nothing to fool around with. A cheap 3rd party Li_Ion battery can actually go into thermal run-away and catch on fire or even explode!

Military Ball

Last Friday I had a portrait station set up at the 4-64th AR Military Ball. I shot 207 portraits from 5:00 pm until midnight. Here are a few of them:

Here is a video of the recent Oyster Roast that I shot.

Family portraits

I recently spent some time shooting portraits for a very nice family. I used a black background and I think they came out quite nice.
