Foggy Morning Fail

Sunday morning started like many mornings. I got up with Stacey grabbed some coffee, saw her off to work and parked myself in the garage for a few minutes to get a handle on the day. As I looked out over the neighborhood, I saw the most amazing fog. It was low and dark and my first thought was that I knew the perfect place to take a foggy morning sunrise picture. But it didn’t exactly work out like that.

Shooting Without A Net

This month marks our first full year as Robertson ImageCraft. We spent the bulk of 2009 meeting and taking pictures of some really nice people, learning and refining our photography skills and, generally, becoming photographers. It’s been an interesting ride so far and we look forward to the challenges and experiences that 2010 holds.

There is one picture (actually, a series of pictures) that kinda started this whole thing. You see, Stacey and I have seven kids and you can imagine how difficult it is to get all of us at a “professional photographer’s” at the same time. One kid is all grown up with her own life now, two are busy high school students and the rest have their own crazy schedules with sports, choirs and music lessons. It’s a little nuts around here sometimes. Anyway, we decided to set up a makeshift studio in our garage and utilize a little photographer’s trick called “North Light.

A New Year, A New Adventure

I've never even had a personal blog, so the thought of having a blog for our photography business really never crossed my mind...until I started really studying the zillions of photographers' websites out there. They're everywhere; full of sneak peeks for clients, videos about an awesome shoot, and the newest addition to the arsenal of equipment...This probably won't be one of those blogs.

The first full-length movie Hal shot was quite the learning experience for him. When it was done, he wrote a 'laundry list' of how NOT to shoot a movie. While he did walk away with some good tricks of the trade, most of them came to Hal by mistakes made and dumb luck.
