Jer & Min Photography

I keep coming back to the black and white version of this photo.

I’ve had this image in my mind most of the day after I learned the subject.  To make this shot I used the gold side of my reflector and shot my photo warm so that the natural light coming from the other side of the frame would take on a blue hint.  I think the colors go well together and the blue adds some depth.

We’ve not had internet access for a few days here.  I did take some of the challenge photos, such as the out of focus shot, but I wasn’t too impressed with it and it isn’t being published.

As we’ve been staying at this house, we’ve considered it a castle.  Today’s shot is a stretch, but I’m publishing it.  It is of my son being the knight coming to the rescue.

While I’ve been blessed with incredible photographic opportunities this trip, I’m making a conscience effort not to spend all of my time shooting while my kids are enjoying their surroundings. That being said, my composition and setup are severely limited, but I’m truly enjoying the trip.

Today we visited the coast and spent a great deal of time at a few isolated beaches. After visiting them, we of course had to visit Cannon Beach and view the Haystack monolith. It was incredible. The hardest part of this photo was timing it so that there was no one else in the shot. Any who have visited this sight during the month of August realize that I should win some sort of photographic recognition for this feat alone.
