I am excited to announce our newest “contest” at kristy lynn photography!

I am joining forces with almost 500 other photographers to give away two free photography session. One will go to a deserving family who is nominated and the other will go to a deserving family that does the nominating. Here is how it works.

I know you know someone! Someone who has been struggling to just make it every day. Whether it be because of disease, financial circumstances, or personal tragedy, there are people all around us who are living reminders of just how difficult that life can be. And yet these very same people are the ones who also remind us how strong love can be. They remind us to find the joy, and they remind us what the word family is all about.

Go ahead take a moment, think about it. Who would you love to see gifted with this opportunity.

And then email me. Tell me their story. Tell me why they are so deserving. You have until midnight on January 21, 2009 to get your entry in. From there I will choose one family to receive a standard custom photography session and a $200 print credit. And the nominator will receive the same package for their nomination.

And here are the “rules”:

~ you may not nominate yourself, or members of your immediate family considering that both the nominated and nominating families will receive a session.

~ all submissions need to be emailed to kristy@kristylynnphotography.com by January 21, 2008. The chosen family will be announced on this blog on January 28, 2009.

~ both the nominated and nominating families must reside in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.

~ anybody can nominate anyone. you do not need to be a past client of mine to participate.

~ please limit your nominations to one per person.

So there you go. Now get to thinking. Who is deserving of this, who would not be able to have this photography session if it wasn’t for this opportunity?

Thank you! I can’t wait to hear from you!

I got to spend the day with my amazing boys today. We went on an adventure to find a location that had a warehouse and a field in Martinez.

We ended up at the Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline, where we got rained on, but I got this shot.

After that we returned to our search and we did find our destination. We made it to Granger’s Wharf in on the Martinez Regional shoreline. Beautiful location.

These were our shots in the field:

A way cool photographic technique.: San Francisco Bay Area Photographer

December 19th, 2008

It is called high dynamic range photography (HDR for short) and has to do with taking multiple exposures of the same image without moving and bracketing the initial correct exposure and then blending the images to create the final image. So I applied it to my tree. And this was my result.
