Monday, July 19, 2010. Waving the Red Flags. I had another opportunity this past weekend to shoot some more drum corps. There was a drum corps show in Corona, CA on Friday night and another, on Saturday night, at Paramount High School. In this case, I finally was able to fit the guy in the frame entirely. You can see how the light paints just the edges off him, almost like a highlight maker. Stay tuned, as I have a lot more examples coming of the benefits of shooting with the sun backlighting the subject.

Saturday, June 26, 2010. I went back to this spot I have been checking out lately, since in San Diego, during June, we have what is called "June Gloom." Which is, we get a lot of marine layer, the "gloom," during this month. Now, I have been scoping this spot and looking for unique or interesting subjects to compliment the carrier. This time, I found that the sails worked nicely here. Posted by Charles Frey. Tuesday, June 22, 2010. Tomcat and Her Sidewinder. Well, hopefully this image shows why. So, this...

Sunday, February 20, 2011. During the months of February thru April, I am the official photographer for the WinterGuard Association of Southern California (WGASC). Basically winterguard is colorguard shows held indoors, usually in high school gymnasiums, during the winter season. Most of the performers are high school, middle school, and some collegiate. Pretty simple explanation, eh? Posted by Charles Frey. Thursday, February 17, 2011. On my way back, last Fall, after my trip up the Eastern Sierra Sceni...

Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Just got back from a few days trip into Arizona and one of the obvious spots to visit was the Grand Canyon National Park. This was my second visit here. There is a lot to see here and it might not seem so, if you just visit the south rim. Shooting from just the rim, it is very easy to have one photo look just like another. So you have to find different angles, interesting subjects, etc. I always find it interesting how some trees can find the most odd spots to grow. I'm still tryin...

Friday, December 31, 2010. I took a trip during a soggy, rainy day in Southern California, up to the Getty Center, in Los Angeles, California. I couldn't believe how many people were there that day. I guess it was the many out-of-town visitors here for the college bowl games. It was gray most of the day and it was a natural idea to convert it to a black-and-white photo. I processed this with some high contrast and exposed it just a tad on the bright side, as to knock out the clouds and most of the ba...

http://freysphotos.blogspot.com/2011/06/los-angeles-skyline.html
Monday, June 20, 2011. One of the places I love to visit is the Getty Center in Los Angeles. The Getty Center is a great place to behold the fantastic art and especially, the architecture of the center itself. I like to drive up there on days when it might rain. I just feel that a raining day, there are opportunities to catch some unique photos. One of these unique photos is the photo you see here. Posted by Charles Frey. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wednesday, March 24, 2010. I decided to head out towards Lake Elsinore, in search of poppies. Needless to say, it was a very disappointing result. There were only a few good patches of poppies. I hiked up the hills to try and find more, but all that did was rip apart one of my boots. Can't always hit the jackpot. Right? It is an artistic effect, but I really like it for flower shots. I mean, how many of the same flower shots has one seen. Don't you think it's time for a different approach? As I was takin...

Monday, May 23, 2011. I'm still trying to get use to my new Carl Zeiss 35mm f1.4 lens, for my Canon EOS-1D mark III camera. I am still mainly testing it out at f1.4 and trying to nail my focus dead-on. With the new EC-S super precision matte focusing screen installed in my Canon EOS-1D Mark III camera, I am having a lot more success. For composing this image, I liked all the dials and instruments in the background. There are a few different possible variations in this control room. This is just o...Thank...

Monday, April 26, 2010. The Heavens Shine Down. One of the most popular places in San Diego, to have a wedding, or a wedding reception, or after wedding photos taken is the historic Presidio, in Old Town. One of the area you might miss, when you drive up that way is this statue of Father Junipero Serra. (Father Serra was a famous for the California missions. I am not here to give a history lesson, There is Wikipedia for you all to read up on him. Gotta love Wiki! Posted by Charles Frey. The color and det...

Sunday, December 23, 2007. San Diego - An American Paradise. On one of their group photo shoots around San Diego County. These photos were taken a couple of years ago while on one of our trips. Robert W. Scott. Recently inspired by a photo by Dan Schwanz. About trains and Oregon's Mount Hood, I managed to find a compilation of shots taken from Memorial Day weekend 2007 in the Columbia River Gorge. Thanks for taking a look. Np/ Incubus - Drive. Morning Z Train at North Dalles, WA. 70mph at Rufus, OR.
