Hi PJ,

The Ahuja shots were created with a Canon 5dmk2 and a various assortment of L Series lenses. Most of the shots utilize the TS lenses from canon, 17mm, 24mm, 45mm, 90mm. Hope this helps and happy shooting!

There is a fire training center at DFW and they have a huge fuel spill fire training area. I’ve seen it a couple of times and it always surprises me to see a huge fire right by the airport.

nice shot! i live in Cabo and we had no hurricanes in the past year, so please don’t say that :)

i agree with you that the location of Capella Pedregal is amazing, and the tunnel Dos Mares is the only privately owned tunnel in the whole Mexico. It’s lit with chandeliers and it makes a really dramatic entrance to the hotel. it’s a world apart, and very very exclusive.

looking forward to see more photographs.

I’ll still say it, “Only 70!?!”

I think you could have easily pulled out 80-90 if you had pushed yourself a bit more.

Ok fine, that’s a lot especially since most were 2-5 days long.

Looking forward to more posts in 2011.

Pretty slick. What’s the small gap in the windows about halfway up? Restaurant, Pool, Rainmain suite?

Your advice on Santa Barbara was spot on! We have loved staying on Miramar Beach and calling Montecito home. We have enjoyed the great restaurants of SB and the so many great hiking trails and places to see. Your customized google map with place to visit was a great kick start. Seeing dolphins each morning and several sea lions has been special for both the kids and I.
Thanks again for taking the time to share.
See you soon in SF on my next visit.
Tim

Nice Blake. I like the concept of the “image of the week”.

I wish my K-12 experience looked as cool as the NHR school.

Another set of beautifully captured photographs! I am looking forward to the Image of the Week. I RSS all of the blogs that I follow so as with TiVo, they are waiting for me when I have time and what day specifically that they come in are of not as much consequence… as long as they keep coming! Can’t wait!

What a beautiful and incredible image! The composition, color, exposure, timing, graphic design and architecture all come together to such an amazing effect. Wish I could have heard the architect’s reaction to your image!

Oh yes, it’s the new 17mm t/s. I had such a love affair with the one I rented for the week from borrowlenses.com that I ended up ordering one from bh after the first big morning of shooting. Pricey at $2500 but it’s just a spectacular lens that is so well thought out.

Wow! Love the framing and the impact on this one. Is this the 17mm t/s lens? I look forward to seeing the entire project. It looks like you had some stunning architecture to work with.
