Easy Full Moon
November 12th, 2011
This gorgeous full moon was captured last night here in the bay area. Taking full moon shots need not be difficult. This shot in fact, was shot hand held, albeit using a stabilized lens. The key thing to remember is to expose for the luminosity of the moon, not the night sky. Easiest way to do this is to use spot metering on your camera and take note of the exposure reading. Place your mode dial to manual and set the aperture and shutter to those to those found on your reading. Have fun!
Another shot of the same moon converted to b/w, appearing like the “Silver Moon.”
Camera used: GF1 with 45-200mm OIS. Set at 200mm (400mm equiv), f5.6 @ 1/400th, ISO 200.

Recent Favorites
January 22nd, 2010Here are my favorite recent sessions. I apologize for my quick and dirty way of updating, but I will let the photos speak for themselves 
Some wedding & portrait sessions are not posted because they are in the process of editing or simply to respect some clients wishes . All are within the last 3 months of 2009. Here we go:
Ryan & Laura – Engagement & wedding for Portrait by Tony. Fun and daring couple. We were not suppose to be on that dock! Engagement was at Vasona Park.
Ryan & Laura’s big day at Jack London Square.
Demetrius & Precious – Very polite and shy couple. Engagement was in Santa Cruz. A classic example of a beautiful shotgun wedding. It was all planned within a month. Engagement to wedding inside 30 days! Had to work fast. Halima, Precious’s mother, is the queen of organization and detail. She rocks!
The beautiful Palmdale Estate in Fremont was their venue. Though it rained, it made for some really beautiful dramatic scenery!
Foul weather, beautiful photos:)
Xander & Peanut (Erin) Baby Shoot – Getting ready for the holiday season with some cute photos of these little cuties.
Narciso & Marigold – Friends of friends. Their family and friends are like my relatives. Very friendly couple and over the last 6~9 months, I have gotten use to having coffee with them:) Engagement was in Evergreen area, San Jose.
Prep was at the beautiful Fairmont Hotel.
Classic Catholic wedding while partying was at the Freedom Hall, Santa Clara.
Took this gorgeous snapshot of Medori as the 2nd photographer for Tony of Portrait by Tony.
Prienna’s 1st Birthday Party – Cuco & Laurie’s beautiful little girl, Prienna, had a wonderful birthday party at their residence in Hollister. Got to capture all the joy!
Some of Prienna’s little friends from her party:)
Rona White & Kids – Portrait session at Vasona Park. Impromptu portrait session. They were here for the holidays and found out I had an opening while all her kids were in town. The oldest was leaving town the night of the session so no room for mistakes! Needless to say, they came out lovely.
The Quinanola Kids – Fun shoot at The Jungle. Audrey & Oliver are absolutely adorable! They really got into their face painting. Dad got face painted too!
Joining the Q’s is their cousin Sophia. She is so full of energy!
Baby Ariah & Mom – Session at the very famous Vasona Park. It seems like yesterday I photographed Kimmy’s maternity session. Her little girl is already a year and a half old!
Enjoy!
