Looking at one photograph at a time
Morning Shadow, Denverton, California, 2007 copyright Douglas Stockdale Following up on yesterday's post with a little more information about how my Roadside Remembrance series is being reconsidered as a Black & White portfolio. This series of roadside memorials was starting to get a little traction in 2008 and I felt it had potential to go beyond the... Continue Reading →
Nevada State Randy, Route 179, (Randy) copyright Douglas Stockdale Reading the recent (2015) October issue of PDN magazine, which is their annual photobook issue, I found myself thinking back to my real first photographic project, a series of roadside remembrance memorials. As a quick recap, it is a series that I became very fascinated by in late... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Zach, San Clemente, CA) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale For last Friday's touch football game, as I posted here, I made the switch up to the the larger Canon 5D MarkIII (Mk3), which has a image sensor with a very wide ISO capability in conjunction with using a trip-pod. Btw, since I had acquired the Mk3... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Garden District, St Charles trolley way, New Orleans, LA October 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Today I seem to have a case of the blase, so I feel a off. Usually one good cure (for me) is to jump back in the fray. Thus a great reason to finish the development of this image... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Ella, San Clemente, October 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale This is the third in my series discussing my Friday Night Lights photographic adventures. As I stated in my last post, I made a camera change for last night's flag football game. Still the same relatively slow zoom lens, the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Stacey & Damien Valdez wedding, October 2015, New Orleans) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Having professional photographed a number of weddings in the past, one thing I enjoy now is NOT being the official wedding photographer! Between us, I found that weddings are very stressful events for many reasons. You can't ask the bride and... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Zachary, San Clemente, October 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Earlier I had posted about using my Canon XTi camera in conjunction the 70-200L f/4 lens for photographs of Zach playing flag football at night. I did not have my tripod with me, but I knew from prior experience that for hand holding exposures at... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Bourbon Street, New Orleans, October 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale We attended a destination wedding in New Orleans, aka NoLa or The Big Easy, this past weekend. Our hotel was a couple of blocks off Bourbon Street, thus required a prerequisite evening walk-about. This is my version of what my experience of this place... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Michigan, September 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale I was surprised at the end of my photographic tweaking as to how this photograph is pulling me in. To be honest, it was one of series of grab shots that I made on approach while landing at Detroit Metro airport. Having made this landing recently, I... Continue Reading →
Untitled (DTW, Michigan, 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale This is a follow on post from yesterday, as that photograph and this one were made within a minute of each other. The overall appearance may differ as I tweaked each image as a singular image. These two were not meant to be shown together to investigate... Continue Reading →
