I’ve been busy, haven’t had the chance to rigth in my blog - but I thought I would make the time to write about the R.O. Ranch Equestrian Park. This was a challenging shoot that involving taking a pano of a very large group of people. The group shot below is made up of 8 images shot verticle and stiched together. They plan to have a very large print of this made for the ranch once it is built. A very special thanks to Allison who was my assistant for the day - despite the down pour for two days prior to the event and the gusty winds, everything seem to go very well. I met some of the nicest people that day and the ranch setting was very peaceful.

My dear friend and photography pal Laurel came across this wonderful house full of Christmas lights in Melrose Florida. So on Christmas eve, we grabbed our cameras and headed out just before dark for some fun in the twilight. You can read more about our little side trip at Laurel’s blog here and here. (I especially love Laurels shot of Santa over the chimney.)

The home owner has been collecting Chistmas lights and doing this for the past 17 years - it takes him 2 months to put up all the lights! You can click on the images to the left for the virtual tour scenes I did. (NOTE: you will need the lastest Flash player, player 9 for these virtual tours. This latest version renders so smooth, if you don’t have it yet, you need to get it. And below are a few of my stills. Enjoy!
