Greetings from Joshua Tree!!
My wife and I went out to JT last weekend to do some "scouting" for a photo shoot. My nephew is starting a new business (high end jewelry) and has asked me to be the photographer. I'm honored, but at the same time a little nervous, given I'm just an amateur. At any rate, we will be heading out to the Joshua Tree area with a couple of models and a director. We've scouted out what I think will be some great photo shoot sites... and in the process of scouting took a few sunset photos in Joshua Tree National Park. Hopefully I can share some live model photos with you in the next couple weeks. Wish me luck!

ReplyDeleteFabulous shot. Love the colours.
ReplyDeleteI love your header and Joshua Tree desert sunsets-I live in the same Mohave desert in St. George, Utah and enjoy the winter winter here. Thanks for commenting on my Skywatch Friday...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Mr. SP&P -- will you remember us when you are famous? xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou're not an amateur any more :) These are lovely photos, there's something special about the desert light.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the comments about trying midrange. I definitely am going to try the suggestions. I have been working at trying to find my camera's 'sweet spot' but haven't gotten there yet. Plus I only have the lens that came with the camera....but that's okay...I still have too much to learn before I add yet another lens to become familiar with. I plan on visiting often!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project! I can't wait to see the results :)
ReplyDeleteThe last photo is awesome, lighting so well captured!
ReplyDeleteWonderful captures! Vivid and striking.
ReplyDeleteThese skywatch pics are lovely. I'm sure you've heard this lots before, but they're ideal for postcards or posters. Great look!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for the live model shoot. I hope your research goes smoothly, so you are prepared for the big event. I have no doubt that your talent will cross over to excellent people-pics.
I'm in love with the first shot! Rare beauty captured : )
