Fun Fotos: Disney with a Macro Lens


Happy Halloween!! This is my favorite day of the year. Not because I love dressing up but because today (in my opinion) starts off the holiday season. Up next Thanksgiving, Christmas and then a New Year - 2010. I also love the weather... nice and cool. Good times.

So last week I gave myself a personal photography assignment: Spend a couple days at Disneyland and only use a macro lens. That's it! I just allowed myself to take a 100mm macro lens with me. I figured that there a lot of great details at Disneyland that would make for some interesting photography.

I didn't know if this was going to work but after seeing the images I think some great stuff came out. So here's a big helping of what came out. Enjoy!

No mistaking who this is from any angle...


This shot I love both in horizontal and vertical flavors...






There are a lot of great facades in California Adventure park...

Wedding: South Hills Country Club

This last weekend I shot a wedding reception in the fabulous South Hills Country Club in Covina. The decorations were astounding and the room perfect for the guest to have a great time after the ceremony. I shot with the great photographers Kate Connolly and Debra Morrison. Here are a few images from the reception.





They had one of the most beautiful cakes that I've ever seen. Here it is from a few angles...









The couple arrived in timeless style...





All the best,
