  • Cyrus Seim… Boy At Work:

    seim-kids-photo-1

    I was at a local park the other day doing some experimentation with various types of light. Sondra and Cyrus came by to help and Cyrus really enjoyed working with the lights. I’ve been playing with this Sima LED video light as a small constant light source. Cyrus and he went right to work trying to put it on the stand.

    I had to help him a bit in the end, but hey he’s only 15 mos. He’s takes such an interest in things and catches on so fast. I’ll be running to keep up with him soon. Here’s a few photos I took. I just cant resist photographing him. I have so many, but always want more… Gavin

    These were taken near Ritzville Washington, on a bridge that spanned this pond. It was getting pretty dark and I needed something dramatic. The clouds had wasted out my dreams a stunning sunset, and I knew we had to try something fast.

    Looking around at the light, I got an idea (almost by accident) The car headlights had gone on, and cast light and shadows across their path. I decided to try something I had never done before by parking the car across the road with the lights on Jacob. After editing, and a few of my Lightroom effects I was able to get some super cool results… Gav
