Brianna Shirley at Magnuson Park

Brianna Shirley at Magnuson Park

Four years ago, I took Brianna’s senior portraits and much to my surprise, she hit me up randomly for some new photos. Apparently, she had been using her old photos all this time and never had a chance to get some new ones done. The weather turned out to be absolutely gorgeous here in Seattle this past weekend, so we met up for a quick photoshoot. I switched between my 24-70mm and 85mm the whole time, and although the photos […]

University Street Fair and Gasworks Park

Last Sunday the 22nd was the University Street Fair, and my friends and I decided go to out and shoot some street photography. I hadn’t done any dedicated street photography for some time now, so it was a welcome change to most of the other types of things I’ve been shooting lately. I only brought my Nikkor 50mm ƒ1.4 and 85mm ƒ1.8 with my D700 and quite honestly, I didn’t miss the zoom at all. There were plenty of things […]

Nikkor 24mm f/1.4G and Nikkor 135mm f/2D Review

Erica at Discovery Park

To help me decide on some possible future lens purchases, I went to BorrowLenses.com to rent the Nikkor 135mm ƒ2 and Nikkor 24mm ƒ1.4.  I couldn’t properly test these lenses of course without a good subject, so I got in touch with Erica once again to help me out.  She happily obliged and this time around, we both wanted to go with something a bit more stylish than our previous shoots.  We ended up going to Seattle’s Discovery Park and […]

Houglum-Alcantara Wedding

My cousin Liezl got married to her long-time boyfriend and I was able to make the wedding on New Year’s Eve, despite the fact that I was originally supposed to be out of town! I wasn’t the hired photographer for this wedding, so I was able to do a little experimentation with lens choices and post-processing. Please let me know what you think after you follow this link on my ArminWeddings.com website for more photos: https://www.arminweddings.com/2011/01/houglum-alcantara-wedding/
