This is a nice little lighthouse in Eastham Ma. Loved the sky on the day I shot this on. The jet contrails made a perfect X with this nautical beacon. I must admit I have fallen behind on my posting as I have been working on a huge print job. […]
Cape Cod
©Rob Nitsch – click to enlarge! Another self-portrait. I actually have a lot more of these then I thought. It is not because I am narcissistic, I swear!(even though I lived in LA for way too long) Like most other portrait photographers, I tend to spend a significant amount of […]
Lighting tests
This is from one of our senior portrait sessions this season. There are a lot of moving parts doing an out-door portrait session. This was a last-minute reservation, by that, I mean we had less than two weeks to take this from start to finish. Then the day of the […]
Senior Photo’s
I love going out and capturing some shallow depth of field detail shots of the natural world. Processing them in black and white really lets me concentrate on texture of I am looking at. I’ll let you in on a secret, this image was made pretty close to home. Settings: […]
Camo
I had a great day yesterday shooting a new client, so I didn’t get a chance to go out and shoot my typical photos and have to rely on my archives for todays post. Here is an image I made of some moss. I love the intricacy of nature and […]
Moss
Today I was prepping for a senior portrait session I have booked for tomorrow. My nerves were kind of getting to me about this one, not because I am doing a portrait session but because there is no wiggle room here. This is a very last minute shoot, the photos […]
toughest shot you can take
The season is upon us to spend a bit more time in the graveyards. I personally love them, it is something that missing from the west coast landscape. While there are cemeteries out west, they are much more uniform and organized then their counterparts on the eastern seaboard. Nothing beats […]
Cemetery Season
There are all kinds of photographs depicting autumn. I can guarantee, now that I live in New England, that I will posting many here in the next few months. Well I thought it would be a great idea to kick off the season with a cliché friday post. When […]
Cliché Friday – Shallow DOF Fall Leaves
After a few busy weeks I finally broke out for a sunset shoot. I had a great time but, I feel like I got really lucky with this photo. I decided to go at the last minute, so I didn’t scout the location or check the tides, this all lead […]
out for sunset
©Rob Nitsch – click to enlarge! After moving from California, the last thing I would have expected to find on Cape Cod was a Winery but, here it is! I am by no means a wine connoisseur but, I have spent plenty of time with some in many renown wine […]
Truro Vineyard
Sometimes photography and life do not get along. After many weeks of unpacking and settling into a new life on the right coast, I found I was spending less and less time shooting. Which is contradictory to the reason we relocated. Although I was doing a lot of work for […]
Prioritizing
I thought we were full steam ahead into fall but this week it looks like mother nature decided to lock up the breaks, and throw us into a wild J-Turn! She even set the climate control to humid! This is a shot of a road side stand that is a couple […]
Indian Summer
©Rob Nitsch Sometimes a smile will concur a miss focus. Well this is really just a throw away image for me, I am just using it as an example of home many throw away images you will have when photographing a toddler. They will run from you, run away from […]
Smiles
How much more cliché can you get then the car shot? Hey let’s get even more specific, shall we? How much more cliché can you get then the 3/4 SUV shot in a desolate landscape? If you don’t have this one in your image library you may just be asking […]
Cliché Friday – The Car shot
Yesterday I was able to break away with August and do an impromptu photo session at the towns public garden. Worked out pretty well, Mom got some time to get some stuff done, Dad got some photography time and August got some fun time! The clouds were a little thick […]
Fields of Silver
Things may look a little different around here now. Over the weekend I switched out the theme for inebetweenstops, I transitioned to one that was a little more versatile yet still simple. Of course, I thought this would be a little change but that is never the case. Now lets […]
August’s Apple
©Rob Nitsch Sometimes it is good to go back through your old photos. I have been busy with earthquakes, hurricanes, computer issues and worst of all unpacking! So my photography has taken a back seat this week (this week only! I promise.) Well anyway I was restoring a laptop yesterday […]
Rocks in the Afterburn
Looks like Opal’s portrait went over very well on Monday So, I decided to include another photo from that session. This one includes her brother Tober. These kids were great to work with, I can’t even describe the fun that I had that day. I shot two locations, the beach […]
Opal and Tober
©Rob Nitsch By no means am I trying to start a flame war here, I just want to share my experience of moving from Aperture to Lightroom and if I will go through with it. I will be as honest as possible. I have been using Aperture for over 5 […]
Aperture vs. Lightroom
Now that these photos have been turned over to the clients I thought I would share a couple here. I could not believe the intuitiveness that this little girl had in front of the camera, not to mention the great range. Some of the shots she would blast you with […]
