Fire

Took a ride down the bike trail behind Mt. Rubidoux to check the aftermath of the Thursday evening fire.  The main burned out sections were not visible from the trail, but I found a couple spots that got pretty close to some homes..  At points, I imagine the flames were as close as 100 feet to homes that are backed against the Santa Ana.  I found fences run over by fire trucks and tire marks everywhere.    Must have been a mad house trying to maneuver 10 ton fire trucks on a two lane bike trail.  Crazy.

Anyway here's some shots.     

-Nice little Saturday.

 Just a little guy.

 Also, saw a helicopter pick up some firefighters and take off from the park.
I wish I had my 7D as I would have shot some video.

 Dead center again,  helicopter dropping in about 600 yds away.

Behind the Scenes

Been trying to keep things fresh with any family shoots as of late.  So, been experimenting with a little photoshop magic.   Have a couple more shoots lined up here and let's just say.....I'm pretty stoked!  Ambition,  creativity,  and patience.  It can only be a good year.

Check the BTS from the last few shoots.
Cheers

The Stewarts-
Here's the final image - +3.  Love it!

And here are the behind the scenes.

As close as Jamey got to "riding" Roadie.  ;)

Roadie needed "treat" coaxing.   Good boy.   Nice form.

 Here's the original image of Roadie from final.

Both Jamey and Roadie's original shots from the final image.  :)
I just happened to accidentally shoot Jamey climbing up the chair.  Worked out magically!

And now the 3 original images that I pieced together.
Enjoy!
Jonah's original image.

Tessa's origianl.  Give me -  MORE EMOTION!!  Your freakin baby is being thrown at you.

And my original.  This was the background to the entire image.  Notice those jerks in the corner walking by..  They got painted over. :)

Jonah Standing Image - (Please keep in mind.  Mr. Jonah is only 4 months old.  He hasn't even rolled over yet.)
Here's the final image.

 The background image.

 Original shot with Tessa's hands photshopped out (not very well)  Notice the top of his overalls at chest.  You can see the top of her index finger in the final. No one probably noticed anyway, so why fix it. :)

And last but not least -  Here's some BTS from the Deadplicity shoot in November 2012..
