Hot sailors! Better yet, Hot Seame........

This last weekend I took my 5D along with one 2 gig card and just a 50mm f/1.8 lens. I went to my friend Brenna's wedding in Newport Beach. It was awesome....and was one a Yacht. It was perfect for natural light and testing out the lens. Here are some of the results







I have been starting to become a huge fan of blurred pictures like the last one. When I was in NYC about 3 1/2 years ago, I went to a museum that had this exhibit called "The face of Jesus". It had about 8 different head shots of different people with different race and culture (judging by the clothing). But it was awesome because every image was blurred so you could not see the face....but just make out colors and light details. Presenting a blurred image allows the viewer to think and sharpen the image themselves. Photography is like nudity. When you show the viewer everything....the mystery is gone. There has to be something covered up that makes the viewer want to see more.

P.S. There was a photographer that they hired. I just did all my stuff when she wasn't around :)
