Or at least fish the Adirondack Mountains. Just came back from our annual trip up north…. northern New York state. Rain, wind, rain, snow - you name it … of course you would not know it from these photos.
Here is a shot of the key VIP’s - Jake Stata in the bow. Photo taken by Jeff James. Nice. Black canoe, loaded and on the move. Just coming into ST. Regis ponds. Check out the video for all the shots.
We’ve been shooting quite a few high resolution Virtual Reality tours of Health care facilities, manufacturing plants, and aviation - The process is not the same as what the real estate market uses. These tours are made up of ten vertical images stitched together to allow the viewer to see a 360 degree scene of a room, facility or inside a plane.
Here are a few pieces stretched out for you to see the process.
Just pulled up some images we shot this fall - yes when it was green and much warmer…. best time to shoot outdoor photography. We’ve been shooting for several years for this advertising - website company that produces all kinds of straps for the outdoor market. Which of course if anyone knows me - outdoor products in the field are right up my alley.
Rain, snow, in this case mud bring it on - we have the gear to shoot all products in all conditions.
We - the creative director and myself just finished shooting lighting products on location in Leavenworth Kansas - just outside of Kansas City. Yes there were many correctional facitilies there. We shot from ground level and also up in a 60 foot bucket truck. 60 feet does not sound that high until your up there and the wind kicks up.

We ended up jumping right into shooting the first nite we flew in…. rain was coming and it did for the next couple of days. Never hurts to have a few rain days scheduled into a shoot. Our days usually lasted into the next morning - like 1 or 2 am.
The final nite was indoors. We were shooting LED lighting on a new refrigeration product. We had hired a few models to help with this project and again it was a late nite. The ladies worked out well with the shinning star was little Sarah.
Here is a shot of Sarah waiting for the shoot to start… priceless
I found myself shooting fitness equipment and the architectural environments in which they are housed.
Yes shooting but not working out - one day. There were some very interesting spaces and I shot quite a few cool shots…… blah, blah, blah. How about just checking out the shots.
We’ve been shooting sporting goods products in the studio and in the field - sometimes very cold - lay on the ground to get the angle freezing cold. Of course if anyone knows me - waterfowl products shots are right up my alley…. or swamp
.
Whether we’re shooting decoys or attire or soft goods - it always gets interesting shooting over water.
It’s also nice to have the lighting control and temperature control to shoot in the studio - especially in the middle of winter.
I just got back from a shooting in Argentina with SCI’s Jeff Hunter. He was in pursuit of record breaking trophies and we found them. It was like nothing I’ve ever done. Quite a thrill to see and document his hunts. We flew the ten hours from Houston, Texas to Buenos Aires, Argentina landed and was out hunting that afternoon. The next day we were off to Province of Entre Rios for more trophy pursuits. Jeff was successful at every location.
The landscape was incredible and the people were warm and friendly.
Our bird boy found the waders to be something else.Cl
It seems we’ve been working on quite a few different accounts working to clean up the environment. From high end sorters which pull cans out of the general trash to recycling and baling cardboard for publications. I’m just glad it was too cold to smell anything on these particular jobs. Good clean work at 15 degrees.
Summer time it wouldn’t be too much fun.
This last group of shots were done in Galion Ohio… yes we often travel to exotic
locations to shoot different projects. Akron, Columbus, Cinci, and out of state and on occasion out of the country.
Where did the month of February go? It seemed that I spent the month shooting events. People networking,
people receiving awards, and people just having fun. Not what you would call exciting photography but I have
always loved getting people to mug for the camera.
At the beginning of the month I took off with a client to see the country’s largest outdoor sporting trade shows
in Vegas. What a show it was. If it had to do with outdoors it was there.
As it turned out a broadcast to several clients that I had time to shoot in Vegas landed a fun job. A major lighting company
was in need of some of their properties.
Then it was back to Cleveland for some major law firm location shoots. We shoot quite a few portraits and headshots in
our business but it’s always more rewarding photographing people on the job. We had a chance to photograph Bill Brooks
of Hyatt Legal at his place downtown. Great guy and great place.
Of course we had several calls for model portfolio and pulled out some great shots in the studio. I’m always trying to reinvent the perfect headshot.
We finished up heading over to the east side of Cleveland and shot for Meyers Roman and shot some portraits and an
announcement for three new partners.
It won’t be long before we’ll be shooting a few weddings this season - mostly for clients but I’m adding Robert Kramer’s
website to the blog for anyone that needs a great wedding videographer. http://www.eternalproductions.biz/
