Google conversion

Blogger in their infinite wisdom decided to upgrade us lowly blogger bloggers to google blog services. Not wanting to be left behind I clicked on the convert featuer. Everything seemed to work fine until I attempted to upload an image. I used to use Hello to upload images, but it won't work now, and when I try to use the image button in blogger it doesn't work either. And of course they have made it impossible to interact with a real live help person. Until I can figure this out I'm off working on my new photography book. But you can email me if you have questions or would like to hire a photographer for an event. My email address is: kdentonh@@ix.netcom.com (less the extra @ sign).

Photography Adventure - Ringing in the New Year

2006 went out with a rock band and 2007 came in with a rock band. If you've read my posts for a while you know I have done photography for bands. This New Years I was invited to photograph Saints and Heroes gig at the United Methodist Church in Elsberry, Missouri. This church has a great event for kids that includes bands and sports activities throughout New Years Eve and into the morning. What a great way to spend New Year's Eve, with bands, music, kids and God.

While I was there Dare 2 Dream also performed and asked me to photograph their gig as well. I've also done photography for this band in the past. And the icing on the cake was that the Travis Lee band and family were visiting, a third band I've had the opportunity to photograph in the past. It was such a great time seeing everyone and seeing all these young people have such a good, safe, time.

My recommendation for photographers photographing bands (especially in churches), is try to get some shots during practice when the lights are up, use a tripod or stabilizer when you want to use natural light, and be within flash range. Also, a wide angle lens will allow you to get more of the audience and band members together. I also had some fun with filters.

If you need an event photographer, I can be reached via email at: kdentonh@@ix.netcom.com (take the second @ sign out, I put an extra one in to discourage auto spammers).

Here are a few shots of the event.
