Jer & Min Photography

My wife will probably not be too happy I posted this photo. The purpose wasn’t to do a portrait shoot, but to play around with my lights and the wonderful sunset. It was for practice.

So here she is after a long day of controlling the three little kids and the one adult who too often acts like a kid.

To shot this, I first exposed for the sky and then brought in my flash to the appropriate level. It was a fun exercise.

This shot was taken the first day we were at Zion National Park.  This was taken at the Canyon Overlook.  It is an absolutely breathtaking view of the canyon.  We arrived shortly before sunset and were treated to absolutely stunning skies.

I took this with two cokin filters and I feel it brought out the feeling and mood of the vista.

This was a pretty fun photo to shoot, the whole family came along and we enjoyed a nice sunset as I clicked away.  Afterwards, we all came home and voted on which shot was going to be published.

Tonight we watched a cold sunset.  I posed Brinci and Toby by it and took a quick shot.  My subjects (Toby in particular) weren’t too interested in posing, so I had to be quick.  I appreciate that they humored me as much as they did.  Tomorrow starts my black and white weekend.

Both of my oldest two children love sunsets.  They even pray for beautiful ones.  It is quite touching to see them appreciate something Min and I enjoy as well.

Two days ago Brinci was looking out of her bedroom window after going to bed and saw a gorgeous sunset.  She had me go out and shoot it.
