I have a lot more photos that I need to go through… but I’m bored so figured I’d post the ones that I have. And no, I’m not bored enough to edit the remaining photos, so don’t ask.

A few weeks ago a friend of mine wanted some new photos, and I wanted something to do… so I said yes. We headed out at the wonderful hour of 5:30… AM. Why that un-Godly hour? Well… according to The Golden Hour Calculator it said between 5:30 and 6:30 was the best time to take some shots. But, what I forgot to take into account… are the massive mountains to the East that blocks the sun, till roughly 6:20! Haha. Oh well, we were still able to get some good shots, before and after the sun peaked over the lovely mountains.

Anywho, enough rambling. Here are some of the shots.

Thanks for reading, and thanks Mitch for being a willing model.

I went out to the Great Salt Lake this weekend after seeing a spot that I thought would make a good photo-op later on.

After wading out in the smelly, retched, dirty, salt water to get to the optimal location… I set up “camp”. The wind was a bit strong, which made the water look great (specially for photos), but it also made it difficult to keep the camera/tripod perfectly still for some timed exposures. Thankfully the lake isn’t very deep, at all, so I was able to extend the tripod legs out and lower the center of gravity quite a bit to help reduce the overall shake from the waves/wind.

All of these shots were taken with stacked GND filters, a solid neutral density filter, and a polarizer filter. Then, I shot with the mirror locked up and a remote trigger with a 2 second delay. Unfortunately, with the wind and waves, I still wasn’t able to get a really sharp image. But, over all, I’m pleased with the results.

Here are two photos (the same one, obviously), just with different processing styles.

Thanks for looking,

And here’s one I just edited.

And then here’s one shot, with a bit of a goofy processing to it. It wasn’t really raining… FYI.

Well, I finally got out with my camera. The weather has been pretty nice, and it’s supposed to be beautiful the rest of the week… which is wonderful! Yesterday I went out with a friend, David, to the Red Butte Garden in Salt Lake City. The garden itself, is beautiful. They did a really nice job setting it up and making it look great. As far as the flowers go… well, I was still a bit too early. But, in a couple weeks I’ll be heading back there to hopefully see it in all it’s glory.

Here are a few shots that I liked from the outing. Hopefully next time I’ll be able to get a few more keepers.

Thanks for looking.

I swear I’m not dead. I’ve just been busy with getting things situated up here in Utah. Moving, jobs (or the lack thereof), making new friends, you know… all that stuff.

I’m hoping once it finally warms up here and stops snowing, that I’ll be more willing to get out and shoot something… or maybe someone? Who knows. So hopefully in the near future, I’ll actually start posting pictures here, instead of boring pointless posts that really have nothing to do with photography at all…

Two things. One, I’m posting this using an app on my mobile device! Exciting.

Second, I am moving the first week of March. So, Sur-Real Photography will no longer operate out of Arizona… but will now operate from Utah!! This takes effect March 1st.

There’s still a week and a day to take advantage of the current promotion. Don’t wait too long.

Thank you for your support, business, and comments.
