Two Reasons Why I Always Bring My Camera With Me

      Why do I always have a camera with me, or atleast in my car?  Simple, you never know when an image might present itself.    Take the photos below for example, my 2 reasons,   I captured the sunrise this morning on my way to drop my boys off at school.  I had the camera right next to me and could see the colors starting to become more vivid as the sun was rising.   I always go the same route, passing a grass farm field, and every morning (well school morning) I get to watch the sunrise.   Sometimes its dark and eerie, or foggy, or rainy, but not today.  Today was absolutely gorgeous and I couldn't resist to pull over on the side of the road and take, literally 2 minutes: 1 min to get the settings right, and another to capture a couple images.   

       It's that easy and simple, so remember don't leave home without your Camera, and make sure your batteries are charged, your card is formatted, and lens clean: I will be talking about that in an upcoming post, possibly a video, so check back for that in about a week.

Youth Soccer Slideshow

     I absolutely love making memories with my children, so I put together this slideshow of their first 2 soccer games.  At the end of the season I am going to pick the best of the best of the best pictures of each child and create a stunning sports video of each of their seasons.  So stay tuned and keep checking back for that video and more!!!

Capturing Marina Jacks, Sarasota, Fl

      The other day was so gorgeous down here, I couldn't resist going down to the local marina and create some stunning images.  I was there for about an hour before the sun became too harsh.  I took over 200 images, ended up with about 50 that I imported to edit, and out of those I ended up with 18 that are worthy of sharing.  The following are the best out of the 18.  If you would like to purchase a full resolution professional grade photo, you may do so by clicking the following link: http://pixels.com/profiles/michael-tesar.html  

      All photos were taken with a Cannon EOS RebelT3 with a cannon lens 18-55mm IS, always shot in RAW mode and imported to Photoshop Lightroom4 on a MacBook Pro via internal card slot.  Location was Marina Jacks - Sarasota, Fl (Home of the #1 Beach in the US rated by Trip Advisor - Top 25 Beaches in the U.S.)
