Early Summer

Misc. pictures from the last few weeks.  Boys acting silly in the morning, with mom's shoes, fond good bye to a terrific and loving teacher to the boys, at the park, at a farm park, and Fourth of July at Malibu.

Mother's Day Father's Day Program

For Jennifer and me, these are fun and special.  Filmed at different times, just consolidated here.  

Photo note, M Day was taken with a Flip and F Day taken with the latest DSLR technology.  Not much diff when you scale it down.

Cherry Picking

We went to the high desert to pick cherries.  Very popular and busy this year.  Boys had a good time.  I think they're ready to drive Pam and Scott's combine.

This is what 12.5 stops of dynamic range looks like in 11am sun, incredible!  Very little Photoshop work to balance exposure.  Normally, I would have filled flashed this and it would have looked like I used a strobe.  Or one could have brought a ton of gear and overpower the sun, not a great option.  But this was shot straight, no in camera fill.
