Cute as cute can be.

I did some Christmas photos for a long time friend this morning. The star was her daughter Daniella who absolutely lights up this photo. I couldn't NOT post this picture. Enjoy, JP (Daniella).

Self Portrait.

I, like most, rarely like photos of myself. This self portrait, took just laying bed, is one of my favorite though. It was photoshopped for effect, which is the main reason it appeals to me. Enjoy, JP.

Snipes Somewhere...

This was from a post a couple weeks ago. The strong contrast makes it appealing to me. Somewhere around Snipes Point. Enjoy, JP.

From A Storm

I can't remember which hurricane/tropical storm/depression this was from but I wanted to share the posts. They are more of fun time that was captured than anything photographically worth writing home about. Michael Marrero and I went out shooting at the White St. pier during the high of the winds (probably around 60mph) with our ikelite underwater housings and had some fun with the locals. We managed to get quite a bit of attention with these housings on land, about 1 foot across. Enjoy, JP.

Just Take the Camera.

I just haven't taken the camera anywhere lately. Been a little ill and uninspired for months. A couple days ago some friends asked about getting some of my photos printed, I guess thats all the inspiration I needed. I should think more highly of my photos, I get my humbleness from my father. Hope you enjoy the scenery. JP

A walk in the park...

Just went for a ride, took 10 photos. I think this is the first time I picked the simple one first. This was with my manual 35mm f/2. Enjoy, JP.

Unpublished fishing...

I'm not sure if any of these photos have made it on here, nor did I feel like checking before this post. This is from March, 3 of last year somewhere near the bay keys. This permit weighed in at 26.5 lbs. Some cool angles from in the water (not sure who to credit for the photos). I just retrieved these photos from my mothers ancient PC that I didn't know still existed. Enjoy, JP.

The Bar has been Raised

An earlier post "D2X to the Limit" showed some bar shots taken in low light at the highest sensitivities I would flirt with with the D2X. One of the reasons for upgrading(?) to the newer D300 was the renowned high ISO capabilities for a reduced sensor DSLR. These photos were taken at ISO 700, 1000, and 2500 respectively. They are hands down better than the older D2X at over twice the sensitivity. They are pretty good photos as well :) Enjoy, JP.

California Sunset

Finally got Photoshop CS3 so I got an itch to try it out and started looking through photos. This photo was made from three bracketed shots from -1EV to +1EV. I'm not sure the location exactly but it is was somewhere close to San Diego. Shot with Nikon D2X and Nikkor 17-55mm. Enjoy.

Gone Down...

First shot in the ocean testing the newly acquired Nikon D300 with Tokina 12-24mm f/4 submerged in Ikelite DSLR underwater housing with 6 dome port. More to come soon... JP.
