beauty

Sometimes life puts things in perspective for you. Don’t worry, we’re all ok :)

I took the dudes on a long walk today and found beauty in so many things. I thought I’d share :)

 

these two just amaze me with the love they have for each other ♥

  35. Your pictures are beautiful! I enjoy taking photos but I don’t have a nice camera (right now I just have a cheap point-and-shoot)…I’m wondering what kind of camera you use?

    January 9, 2012 at 12:44 pm

  36. Breathtaking pics. What camera is being used here ?

    January 9, 2012 at 12:53 pm

  37. Beautiful post – your images are full of heart and soul! Thanks!

    For everybody that’s asking, these were all taken with a Nikon D700 and a 85mm 1.4G lens

    January 9, 2012 at 12:58 pm

  39. Love the photo of the boys in the tree. Looks like you all had a great time.

    January 9, 2012 at 1:16 pm

  40. I really love these pictures, amazing photography. As others probably already asked, I would love to know what equipment you are using ?

    January 9, 2012 at 1:18 pm

    January 9, 2012 at 1:59 pm

  49. Unreal beautiful. Your boys are sweet, but what really got me was the photo of the feather in the twig. Breathtaking!

    January 9, 2012 at 2:16 pm

  50. Amazing!! Especially love the pic with the lone feather in it… the soft fluffiness of the feather contrasted with the geometric harshness of the twig…pure art…

    January 9, 2012 at 2:32 pm

  51. I love the way you have captured such softness and warmth in your photographs…inspirational…

    January 9, 2012 at 2:35 pm

  66. joahnadiyosa

    Those li’l children are so adorable! Your photos are so light to my eyes it soothes my weary head. :) Thanks for sharing! ^^

    January 9, 2012 at 4:27 pm

  67. Fourth image down… plant growing out of gravel – shallow depth of field. Was that the 85mm lens alone wide open, or did you create that narrow band of ‘in focus’ with Photoshop (or equivalent)?

    January 9, 2012 at 4:34 pm

    • nothing added in PP, shot with the 85mm 1.4G at f1.8. This lens is incredibly sharp and just a plain dream :)

      January 9, 2012 at 4:40 pm

      • Wow… I can’t get over how sharply defined the limits are. I would have expected a softer transition from sharp to out of focus. I’ve always gone with f2.8 glass, mostly because my lenses weren’t available in a faster form (or available at a price lower than my first-born). The 85mm is worth watching for… just that much narrower than my 105mm.

        Nice work and thanks for the response!

        January 9, 2012 at 4:45 pm

  68. beautiful photos.. and the kids are adorable.

    January 9, 2012 at 4:48 pm

  72. Oh wow:’o)

    January 9, 2012 at 5:34 pm

  73. Your photos are beautiful! The DoF in the one with the flower sprouting out of the sidewalk is amazing! May I ask what lens you used? And I apologize if I am just asking something that has already been asked/answered. I didn’t wade through all the comments before commenting myself. Your boys are handsome little devils :)

    January 9, 2012 at 5:44 pm

    • thank you :) Handsome little devils hits the nail on the head… :)

      I used the Nikon 85mm 1.4G at 1.8, no worries for asking :)

      January 9, 2012 at 5:46 pm

      • I want that lens so bad! I use my 50mm 1.4 all the time, but I’ve been eyeing that 85mm for some time. And the 24-70mm, too. Too bad that one is $2000. :/

        January 9, 2012 at 9:08 pm

  74. absolutely outstanding ..

    January 9, 2012 at 5:55 pm

  185. I read your About Me and I must say you really love those two kids that they were included on this post — on your definition, through photographs, of BEAUTY. Of course! I also have a son who, no matter how hard headed, still is a BEAUTY to me. Love all the photographs, BTW. Congratulations!

  220. Amazing use of focus, what camera do you use, if I may ask?

    Black and white truly is a beautiful method of capturing life’s finest moments. The pictures you’ve taken only show proof of that.

    Liked and Followed. You have a collection of beautiful photographs and I’d love to see more.
