The party's at ryanbrenizer.com/blog

Well, response to my new blog has been so good, and I am so impressed with the Wordpress functionality, that I am moving everything over to ryanbrenizer.com/blog. This is in no way a change of my relationship with Amazon -- for months now, all of my posts for them have been hosted on their new site End User, and you will still have to go there to see what I think about the latest and greatest in camera tech. But anything under the aegis of Ryan Brenizer Photography has a new home!

RSS users, update your feeds! Here is the new blog, and here is End User.

For You Blue

(My main blog site is now ryanbrenizer.com/blog. I will keep posting content here, but it's much easier to comment there!)

More extreme white balance? Nope -- this is exactly what the scene looked like in real life, thanks to the crazy night lights at the High Line.

I'm always looking to do something a little different from the norm with clients, and when it's warm enough more and more I say "hey, why don't we do the shoot when it's pitch black out?" Even popular engagement spots like the High Line take a very different tone at night -- during the day, this spot looks like a random airplane hangar.

Thanks, Bill, for holding the Lowel video light on this one!


Some RAW programs are more equal than others

Some RAW programs are more equal than others on ryanbrenizer.com/blog.

(My domain doesn't let me host my photos on other sites and hot-link, another way the new blog will make my life easier)

New Blog Address! (And welcome PhotoJojo readers)

1:35 PM PDT, September 8, 2009
Photojojo created a tutorial based on "The Brenizer Method" of bokeh panoramas today, which means that it's as good a time as any to reveal a little project I've been tinkering on. Amazon is an awesome sponsor and a great site, and the gadget blog I write for, "End User," is very cool. But unfortunately "amazon.com/ryanbrenizer" has been broken for some time, and I don't have the ability to fix it. In addition to normal things like it being hard to comment, not working with blog APIs, etc., for some time it's been impossible to read anything but my five most recent posts! That makes it kind of hard for people to find information on, say, Brenizer Method tutorials.

So I've started a new page. It's not fancy yet, and there's still a huge gap in the content (you can always search Google for "ryanbrenizer" and your search term in the mean time), but here it is:
http://ryanbrenizer.com/blog

I will keep putting all my content on here as well for quite some time, but it's going to be a heck of a lot easier to be interactive over there -- I will be able to see new comments and respond, everything is run via the WordPress standard, the newer posts will have large images on big screens and small images on tiny netbook screens, etc. RSS readers, change your links!

In the meantime, here are some links:

Rebels in Love

Married, but still dangerous.


Their Middle Name

11:16 PM PDT, September 4, 2009

Not only are they hot, not only are they world-travelers, but they're getting married today! I can't wait to spend the day with this fantastic couple.


Living in Art

You know you have a power couple when you take them to the celebrated scultpture on the Metropolitain Museum of Art's rooftop and they say "Oh, that reminds me! We should invite the artist to the wedding!"

And Remember … No Disintegrations!

The hardest thing about doing engagement shoots is to get a shot that the client will love but that I haven't seen before. Luckily, there are few places for surprises like New York City.

View the slideshow of this wedding here!

It POURED during our vendor meeting at New Rochelle's Beckwith Pointe, like it did through most of June and July here. The skies were opened, the venue's gorgeous view looked gray and muddy. "Don't worry," the manager said. "I promise there will be sun on the wedding day. I will make it so."

Good job, guy. The wedding day was sunny and bright. Spirits were high, and only got higher as the night went on. Their families were incredibly close-knit -- the very manly best man brother was nothing but sincere, open and emotional during his speech, no embarrassing stories in sight.

Congratulations!


Amy and Mike: 7.25.09

Mike and Amy's wedding was multifaceted. On the one hand you had the consummate planning, the beautiful Prince George Ballroom, the guests and wedding party looking gorgeous and dapper, a touching, deep-felt Catholic mass in a beautiful church … and on the other hand you had a room full of people with such intense energy and joy that there was no point in containing it. When I finally realized that nothing short of an Act of God would tame the wedding party for a group shot, and realized that Mike and Amy weren't the type of people to want a tame shot anyway … I went with it. "OK … you two kiss. The rest of you? Without causing injury, be as rowdy as possible." The floodgates opened, and from then on the wedding was more thrill ride than work (but they usually are … shhhh, don't tell anyone I enjoy my job so much).
