happy birhday marina hansen, Billy Newman Photo

Happy birthday to Marina Hansen This photograph of Marina Hansen was taken on a hillside in Maui near a coffee plantation. I took this photo using a long exposure of less than one second. This allowed me to capture the illumination on Marina’s face from the light of the camera and the light from the stars in the night sky. This hillside in Maui was one of our preferred locations to photograph images of the …

This open area we are in this photograph looks out toward another island in the Hawaiian island chain. I noticed that I preferred the perspective of the other islands not from …

working with canon gear now after I sold my Sony equipment this summer   Working with a Sony camera was a very good experience. There however are limitations to the equipment. I found that I could not use Sony equipment in the capacity of professional work the way I wanted. I think that Sony’s autofocus systems are very slow. I think that Sony battery systems are very under capacity. I think that there is a …

Taurus and the Pleiades   This image is the night sky was photographed in Maui Hawaii. The image takes advantage of the new gear that we had in Hawaii for our portrait photography business we were working with. In this image, the camera is set on a tripod and sat for a 15-second exposure. The long exposure allows for more light to gather in the lands to capture the same filaments of light that make …
