PetSmart - volunteer photo shoot for charity

On Saturday I donated my time and services to take photos at the Santee PetSmart. For every $10 photo sold, $5 of that went to San Diego Animal Rescue, which is a non-profit that provides foster care for homeless pets awaiting adoption. It was a huge success and I had a lot of fun meeting and playing with the animals ;-)




Lowepro - it's my bag, baby!

I just hooked up with Lowepro (the maker of innovative camera bags) for an exciting project! I'll be testing and photographing some "top secret" new products that are yet to be announced. In addition, I'll be coordinating and organizing a collaboration between Lowepro and the SD SmugMug Photographer's User Group to get other photographer's involved. This IS my bag, baby! ;-)

Photo Love

I'm in the process of updating my portfolio. Since I went pro about 5 years ago, I've accumulated thousands of photos. I love siftin' through my art and reconnecting with photos from the past...

Windansea Landscape Shot

Taken during sunset at Windansea. 4 second exposure with off-camera flash at right to bring out details in the foreground.



On-line Photo Album

Hey friends! Here's an on-line photo album featuring some of my work. Wait a minute - I'm not sure I'm vibin' with that word "work". Here's my photo album featuring some of my "play". Ahhh, much better  ;-)

Photo Album

Hey all! I put together a de Alba Photography Photo Album, and wanted to share one of the pages ;-) This was a wedding party shoot from last year...



Kid Shoot

Some photos from my latest kiddie shoot...





New Lighting!

Just got some additional, travel/portable lighting equipment to add to the arsenal ;-) Here's a few quick shots of my first test. Both shot during dusk using a single light strobe about 10 feet away to camera right, using a 45inch reflector for diffusion and balanced with the ambient light. Stayed tuned as I take the equipment out on my off-site shoots for some high-end pro shots. ;-)




The Viking

Here's some photos from a recent shoot out on San Diego Bay. The yacht, "The Viking", was for sale, so I was hired to capture interior and exterior shots to be used for the listings. I love my job! ;-)
