Virginia Photographer

I was recently hired to make casual portraits of structural engineers. I elected to use the “structural elements” of the firms building in Reston Virginia.

While in Auburn Hills MI shooting a job for Volkswagen, I was able to make some images in their collections room. I’m a big fan of old Volkswagen Beetles and Buses. I owned a 1972 Beetle and later a 1985 GTI. It’s nice to work with a company with such an incredible background in designing unique vehicles.

Washington Dulles international Airport (IAD) has a new people mover system called the AeroTrain. The system utilizes 29 Mitsubishi Crystal Movers. Last week we photographed the AeroTrains for Mitsubishi. The Aerotrain is a welcome addition to Dulles Airport. As a photographer, I travel frequently with lots of heavy bags of camera gear, so I appreciate riding on a shuttle train instead of walking.

Unfortunately, there was still too much snow on the ground to do any outdoor photography. It was a real rush to get the trains lined up in the maintenance facility before they went into service for the day. I hope to go back and shoot the trains in motion with some planes in the background. I love doing this kind of industrial photography of planes, trains and automobiles; most photographers like big shiny stuff that moves fast.

I’m speaking at FotoWeekDC. The firemen image will  be displayed on posters around town at Foto Week  and in a slide show.

The traditional laws of photography no longer apply;  see how computational photography extends exposure range, depth of field and angle of view. Take a closer look at HDR, Focus Stacking and Image Stitching. Including simple Photoshop techniques and programs like Photomatix, Helicon Focus  and PT Gui.
