I Love SmugMug

By | Photography, Tech Talk | No Comments

So you’re probably asking what is SmugMug? It’s the best place for your photographs in my opinion, I use them to store all my completed works that are available to purchase. It’s simple to use and gives you an online store in a matter of oh I’d say an hour or less. You sign up for an account, setup your galleries, upload your photo’s, set your pricing structure and you now have a place to sell your work. I also use this to store the photographs I take on shoots, by making them password protected only the client can see the pictures and download them straight off the Internet. Which means I don’t have to make copies and deliver them or mail them out to my customers. So if you’re looking to sell your work online or to get your work to your clients faster and cheaper take a look at SmugMug.

Sports Photography Using HDR Composite Images

By | Canon 6D, Composite Photography, HDR Photography, Photography | One Comment

Well as promised I will be doing more portraits this year, my thinking was to combine my art work with people to create one of a kind images that you can’t get from just anyone.  Sports Photography will be one thing that I’m going to push towards allowing your kids or athletes to become superstars by turning up the normal sports photographs a few notches. Here’s an example using my son Alex as a model and baseball as the sport. The HDR background was taken at a local baseball field the kids used this past season. Then the model or subject photograph is taken in a studio setting but this could be taken anywhere using a solid background and with enough space using soft boxes and speed lights.  If you have any questions about my work or if you’re interested in having portraits like this taken feel free to contact me at NFirebaugh@NFirebaughimages.com .

Big Kid On Christmas Morning

By | Canon 6D, Photography, Virginia | No Comments

So Christmas is finally here! The wait to use my new camera is over 🙂 so like a little kid I ripped it open, hooked up my Promote Control and mounted it on my Slik tripod and out the door I went.  I’ve had this under the tree for almost a month and I was about to bust. Below is a photograph I took of Mill Mountain Star in Roanoke,VA with the new Canon 6D which is my first full frame DSLR. I was bummed when I got home and tried to process my raw files using Photomatix 4.2 because it doesn’t recognize the files yet so the HDR will have to wait until the update comes out.

Composite Photography Coming In 2013

By | Canon T2i, HDR Photography, Virginia | No Comments

I will be offering a new service called composite photography, this combines studio work with my HDR work.  This is a two part process one the subject will be photographed in a studio setting using lighting and a solid color background. Second the background is shot using HDR or High Dynamic Range Photography. Then both are combined together to create one awesome eye catching image.  To give you a little idea of what this can look like here’s an example I took recently.

Christmas Portrait Sessions

By | Photography | No Comments

I have decided for 2013 to start doing more portraits and composite photography. I couldn’t think of a better way to get this started than Christmas Portraits, starting today and ending next Saturday I will be shooting little ones and family portraits.  A big THANK YOU goes out to all who signed up for these shoots and without support from my fans and clients I wouldn’t be where I’m at today.

If you’re in the market for family portraits, portraits of your kids or loved ones keep me in mind. You can contact me for prices and availability by email at  nfirebaugh@nfirebaughimages.com
