Neon
Under the glow of neon lights, a person pauses on a cold winter night in the East Village, New York City. The street is St. Mark's Place.

Time Tells Its Own Tales
480 Brunt Street in Red Hook, Brooklyn, New York City.
This is a Civil War-era storehouse located in the Red Hook Waterfront Historic District. The trolley cars that sit in front of it in various states of urban decay were donated to Brooklyn to celebrate a time when trolley cars were a main mode of transportation.

Layers of a Lovely Day
Sometimes the problems solve themselves, at least when you have brides like Jennifer, awesome enough to brave a forest trail in a gorgeous couture gown. We've had this strange but beautiful thing where all the rain and nasty weather has fallen on weekdays. The New York Times even had to point out that there is no reason for special seven-day cycle in the weather. Me? I credit karma.
Apparently the reason that sometimes you come to my site and there is no site there is that someone out there has been attacking ryanbrenizer.com for a long time. We're working on fixing it, but in the meantime, please hold back for a bit, Mr. Cyber-Jerk. I have so much great stuff coming to the blog this week, from gorgeous weddings to camera reviews, that we'll probably bring the site down all by ourselves.

The Green and the Gray
One of the hidden benefits of using so many advanced panorama and compositing techniques to quickly do the otherwise impractical or impossible is that it takes you back to the film days where you can be pleasantly surprised by a photo much later. The result of this tilt-shift pano of Central Park’s urban/pastoral view is exactly what I had in my mind, but it was great to see it take shape.

A Grin Through Lace
A moment as Amanda puts on her dress. I don't see a lot of wedding photojournalism on 500px, but I like it.

Rules for Shooting Wedding Group Photos
1. Maintain a strict sense of decorum. These are the photos that will end up on the mantle for generations to see, and the parents and older relatives will want to order copies.
2. To make that easier, try and get these photos done before the alcohol is served.
3. Never upstage the bride and groom. They are the stars of the show.
4. Make sure that you get a clear, flattering shot of everyone in the party, that way everyone will order copies.
5. To heck with it. Gauge the desires and attitude of your bride and groom, and the party. Wedding photography shouldn't be one-size-fits-all.
