Shooting Panoramic Photography in 360 HDR

I like the challenge of shooting a 360 Panoramic with HDR and adding models. This client also requested the height to be able to see above the pool elevation. I normally use a fisheye 15mm in these situations but due to the height, 24 to 30mm worked out to be the best. Adding models with […]

Photographing Architectural HDR With People

My client on this project, Gundpartnership in Cambridge Massachusetts, requested that we add lifestyle people to these architectural shots. These images were purely HDR, with no lighting added. Adding additional lighting for fill would offset the the ambience that the lighting design had.

Since shooting HDR is all about bracketing, the exposures could get to be very […]

Capitol Theatre Architectural Shoot

When I’m shooting architectural photography, there is nothing better than being able to photograph the before and after of the project. My client, Marous Brothers Construction, with their Design/Build Division, and as one of its biggest supporters, did an outstanding job in bringing back this building which was built in 1921 and shuttered for decades […]

Photographing Football Fields

As an architectural photographer photographing a football field means being really creative. We are not talking about a stadium with elevations we are talking about a field. The obvious way would be to add height into the image as to shoot above, capturing the expansive flat plane of the perspective. When height is […]

Shooting HDR Photography

Quite a few photographers and clients ask me how I shoot in HDR or High Dynamic Range. I shot a little video in Sedona’s West Fork Oak Creek Trail which I found to be the perfect situation. The high canyon walls offer a striking contrast between the sky above and the canyon floor below. The […]

New England Photo Shoot and Panoramic VR Photography

On a photo shoot in New England in between the quagmire and hustle of traffic and people, a few places worthy of Panoramic VR were found. I used a modified 303plus Pano head which gave me the capability of using a fisheye lens and reduced the weight I needed to carry. When clicking or selecting […]

Panoramic VR Photography-Bogan 303plus Head Modification

I have been shooting Panoramic VR Photography since Apple introduced it in 1997. The basic idea in QTVR was that you now could make 360 degree panoramas by stitching several images together using computer software instead of using special cameras.

I have gone through two 303plus Pano heads. I shot mostly 360 Projections. Due to my […]

The Photography and Graphic Design in Making a CD

The concept of the CD design began in Cleveland. The eyes were photographed in the studio with only north light coming in from the windows, and a macro lens was used. I wanted the lighting flat in order to add or subtract in Photoshop any possible venues for changes ahead.

This is […]
