Flash... BOOM!

So I was laying in bed with my dog when all this flashing was going on outside. I got out of bed, looked outside and discovered an extremely rare lightning and thunder storm going on outside. So I decided to pull out my camera! Night photography from the comfort of my own living room, I could get used to that. The last time I went out at night, Myron came with me and I think he got sick, =(.

All these shots are pretty much straight out of camera. Just a little WB adjustment and some cropping(so I can use these for my next desktop background).

See the rest of the set on my flickr.

Madeline and Roger Tea Ceremony

.

.

So, I know its been a while since I've posted. But I just finished post processing a huge amount of pics from Roger and Madeline's Tea Ceremony. I plan to do a couple more, but just wanted to get something posted. The Tea Ceremony took place Saturday, August 8 at Madeline's house and it was a great time of celebration and FOOD! I loved the traditional vietnamese wedding dress, called an Ao Dai(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Áo_dài), its gorgeous in all its patterns and colors. And Madeline's was no exception. Roger's looked pretty cool too(even though he was sweating up a storm). Special Thanks to George for helping take the pictures while I attended to some groomsman duties that day.

I guess one objective of the tea ceremony is for the groom and family to formally ask for the bride-to-be's hand in marriage.

LOVE this picture. The girls are so playful and photogenic!

For the rest of the set go here.

On a side note, I feel like photography is starting to get a little dry. I'm thinking about figuring out some "assignment" to give myself to get my creative juices flowing. Maybe a 365 project??? We'll see.
