Dupont Circle Farmer's Market - Testing Film-like Nikon Picture Control

Spent Sunday morning with the family perusing through the fresh produce at the Dupont Circle Farmer's Market. I used this time as an opportunity to test out some film-like Nikon Picture Control files I uploaded to my Nikon D90. It's pretty cool to have various film-like stock such as Kodak Portra NC, Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia available at your fingertips.  Well almost, they're pretty close but I'm not quite sold. Check out the photos below and let me know what you think?

Garden Photos

Had some extra frames to blow before I sent them to the lab, so I took some shots of my garden.  Used Portra 400 and my trusty Yashica FX-3 Super 2000.

Joann + Gabe: DC Engagement Shoot

Last Sunday was one of the hottest days of the year and Joann & Gabe were troopers making this the steamiest shoot I've done to date.  I had the pleasure of photographing my long time friend's engagement shoot at the Tidal Basin near the FDR Memorial.  To cool off we ended up at the Dairy Godmother in Del Ray located in Alexandria, VA. 

Congrats Joann & Gabe! So happy for you guys!

Old Town Alexandria, VA

Here are some photos from an afternoon in Old Town Alexandria, VA. Old Town is great place to check out some local artist at the Torpedo Factory and watch performances by local musicians. While I was down there I discovered 10 year-old Geoffrey Gallante, who is an amazing trumpet player.
