Elementary school children MLK, Jr. Oratorical 2011, Oakland California

Every year to commemorate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. children participate in an Oratorical.

Montclair Elementary in Oakland California asked me to take portraits of the participants with their certificates.

The full gallery of all of the shots can be seen here:

Art photo long exposure highway 69 at night

For this photo, in the early evening I pulled over on the very quiet Highway 69 between Mariposa and Oakhurst. I mounted the camera on a tripod, and waited for some cars to appear at the edge of the image.

I then exposed the image for 30 seconds, (f8, ISO 200) so the lights from the cars would streak across the image.

Infrared wedding photo from the Oakland LDS temple

Infrared wedding photos from the Oakland Mormon Temple

When people get married at the Mormon Temple (or LDS Temple. Feel free to tell me in comments which is better) the temple itself is an important feature in the photographs. I love shooting there. As a photographer, I appreciate the scale, the lines, and the tones.

I’ve shot there many times, (here is another LDS wedding that made it to my blog) but this past week was my first time there with my infrared converted digital camera. It was a nice sunny day, which enhanced the effect.
