Yosemite Spring 2012

Beau Hause — Tue, 08 May 2012 18:00:06 +0000

Dogwoods are out in full swing this week in Yosemite. The second shot is a meadow view of Yosemite Falls in HDR. The next is my favorite shot I got of the Dogwood. It’s 10 feet from a parking lot at the Ahwahnee. Next is the interior of the Ahwahnee. It’s probably the best lounge area in the whole valley IMHO. Next is a night time shot of Yosemite Falls. It was nearly a full moon, so the whole valley lit up. You can also get a moonbow from this, making an interesting element. The water scene is near the base of Bridalveil Falls there are some great spots to explore. I could get lost for hours there.

More interestingness near the base of Bridalveil Falls.

Smaller side of the lounge of the Ahwahnee, and the back side of the fireplace shot below.

An amazing fireplace you can sit in. Or at least next to. I wouldn’t recommend sitting IN the fire.

My traveling companions for the visit. It was their first time to Yosemite. They loved climbing on these rocks! They wanted to come back and do it again. The rocks that is. Giant boulders are fun to climb on when you are a kid.

The park is so beautiful that I wish it were closer to Sacramento. I would visit it often. Even though it’s a long drive it is always worth the trip. Next year I think a winter trip is in order.

Have a great week.

Niello VW Ranch Run at UTI Sacramento

Beau Hause — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 03:42:49 +0000

The Niello Ranch Run is a charity event sponsored by Niello VW to benefit the Ride to Walk foundation. From April 13th to the 15th, VW fanatics and community members come together for a great cause and a good time. Below are a few of the VWs that were at the UTI Sacramento Saturday stop on the three day tour that caught my eye and were willing to pose for a few shots. Rob Payne of Niello Porsche had a pretty sick 72 Rat Rod VW bug with a tiki theme that really caught my eye. There were a few Karmann Ghias that were eye-catching as well, especially the blue convertible model. I could almost own one!

All of the photos from the UTI visit can be found here, and my favorites from the day are below. Have a great week, and enjoy.

Photo Shoot in Acampo

Beau Hause — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 02:09:02 +0000

Acampo is a little farm town unincorporated area nearby Galt, CA. It’s a great location for rural backdrops, including barns and horses. Both of which were plentiful for this shoot.

I’m trying out the foursquare for more portable on location shooting, including the soft box. Plenty of light and pretty reasonable cost wise with 4 LP160 flashes in it.

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

Diego’s Umbrella @Harlows Sacramento

Beau Hause — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 02:01:29 +0000

Diego’s Umbrella puts on one of the most high energy shows I have seen. I have never seen so many band members, including the drummer, go out into the audience for some quality time during a song. Guitarists perhaps. Drummers? Not so much. I wish they were in Sacramento more often.

This show I pretty much parked in the front row right on the stage, which gave me ample opportunity to try out my new 14-24 lens. 90% of my shots are with that lens, about 5% the 24-70 and 5% the 70-200. D700 with a battery grip. f2.8 for the most part, 3200-6400 ISO, and between 1/160th to 1/500th shutter.

Enjoy life, the people around you, and remember to look around every once in a while. Today is a good day.

Wilcox Harary Wedding

Beau Hause — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 05:47:41 +0000

Annie was a beautiful bride. The Citizen Hotel in downtown Sacramento was a beautiful venue. Alex and Annie had a great wedding on a very beautiful February afternoon in midtown Sacramento. Downtown Sacramento really presents some incredible photo backdrop options that make for a beautiful, simple, and elegant wedding location. Congratulations to both Alex and Annie!

Noelle Senior Portrait

Beau Hause — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 02:02:56 +0000

Noelle was a lot of fun to take pictures of. She has a very easygoing and relaxed personality, and she’s not afraid to pose for the camera either!

Nikon D700 with 24-70 and 70-200 lenses. Rough split. A few in the studio to start and then on to old Sacramento for the train station and down by the river. Great place to shoot photographs, it has very nice backgrounds, ambiance, and the river is nice too.

Have a great week!

Hot Buttered Rum & The Brothers Comatose @Harlows

Beau Hause — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 06:31:59 +0000

Hot Buttered Rum and the Brothers Comatose at Harlow’s in Sacramento. Fun show, these are truly talented musicians that know how to do it up right. It’s fun to be a part of a show like this where you can get right up to the front row and really see what the heck is going on. Or hang back and dance with the… dancing people in the back. I like it up front myself. It’s fun to be right there in the moment and part of it. Harlow’s is great for that.

14-24. One photo the wide one with the whole band.

24-70. 5 of them, mid to normal.

70-200. All of the close ups or longer shots. Probably my favorite all around for this venue.

And the Nikon D700. Still love that camera, even more with the battery grip and the faster frame rate.

Sierra Hull @ Harlow’s

Beau Hause — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 01:25:06 +0000

Sierra Hull put on a great show at Harlow’s with Rob Ickes and Jim Hurst. Sierra is quite the powerhouse and seriously rocks the mandolin. Rob is also one serious dobro player!

Below are my favorites, you can see all of the evening here.

Nikon D700 with a 24-70 and a 70-200, mostly the 70-200 though. I was very sad this week to have dropped my 24-70 and will be without it for at least two weeks. This is akin to missing a family member! Extra beer should be required to manage the grief. Preferably a Sierra Nevada Pale ale.

Diego’s Umbrella at the Independent San Francisco – Band Concert Photos

Beau Hause — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 22:40:26 +0000

Diego’s Umbrella played The Independent in San Francisco on 11-11-11. It was a great show, one of the best I have ever been to. The band has an innovative and interesting sound. It’s fresh and new, yet has roots in old school flamenco and European eastern sounds. I love it.

Here’s some shots from the show, all of the photos from the set can be found here.

Below are some of my favorites from the night, although it was very hard to narrow it down. Enjoy.

Custom Cars, Details. Colorful interestingness.

Ride Fest at UTI in Sacramento. Lot’s of cool cars and cool people. Tragically White rocked the joint. Shot mostly details and some HDR, but all of the photos can be found here. There are a bunch of them, as is typical with event photography. My favorites are all above!

All shots are with the 24-70 or the 70-200 VR-II, a few in the bunch are HDR but most are straight out of the camera or minimal Lightroom processing. If any photog peeps have questions let er rip and I’ll answer back in the comments!

Have an amazing day.
