Colin Wright Photography bio picture

Welcome!

Since I started photographing professionally in 2003, I have been dedicated to producing the most beautiful creative outdoor photography I can.  Finding the hand of God in images of His astounding creations is what I strive for with every image. 

My primary focus is on photography practiced in the great outdoors, with my photographic interests also including aircraft, macro photography and elements of color, contrast, symmetry and reflection.

I am represented at Framations Art Gallery in St. Charles MO, where you can always see examples of my work hung on the walls.  Framations also hosts a video tour of some of my work, which can be seen here.

Scott Kelby’s 3rd Annual Worldwide Photo Walk

After attending last year’s photo walk, I decided I wanted to contribute more this year, and have volunteered to lead a walk in St. Charles MO this year. This year’s WWPW will take place on July 24th, 2010, and, thanks to Amy and Sarah, we’ll be starting out at Framations, at 218 N Main Street in downtown St. Charles.

So, what’s a Worldwide Photo Walk, you ask?

It is the largest global social event for photographers, and this walk in St. Charles is just one part of it. Last year, over 900 photo walks were held with over 32,000 photographers of all skill levels participating. And the best part? It’s free!

If you’re interested in finding out more about the photo walk, click the logo above, and if you’re interested in joining us in St. Charles on July 24th, click here for details!

Fresh Art: Swinging in Time

Swinging in Time

Swinging in Time

After two days in the snow, it was time to come back inside the office and see what I could do with my pendulum. Pretty easy setup — set the pendulum up inside some black cloth, and get it moving. I set my 580EX II to strobe 15 times at 10hz across an exposure of 2 seconds. I had the flash set to 1/128th power, as the flash was only six or so inches away from the pendulum.

I made this image with my Canon 7D and 24-105/4L lens. I sucked it into Photoshop CS4E and applied a blur vignette through Nik Color Efex Pro.

Swinging in Time is available through my online gallery in a variety of sizes.

Fresh Art: Blue Chesspieces

Blue Chesspieces

Tonight, I pulled my old slide light table out, put a glass chessboard atop it, and began to play with some glass chesspieces I had lying about.

I’ve been wanting to play with this light table for a while, and finding these chesspieces gave me just the excuse. I suspect I’ll use it with some other images of bottom-lit glass and liquids. Should be some fun experimenting.

Blue Chesspieces is available through my online gallery in a variety of sizes.

New Hosting

Last night, I finished moving both domains to Dreamhost. It’s my belief that this will improve my uptime, and make things a big more responsive.

If you find things that aren’t working, please let me know!

Agility Class

I’ve had the good fortune to have photographed at a friend’s agility field for the last two weekends. Needless to say, it’s been a hoot! Great dogs and owners, all learning to work together better as a team.

Above is Chloe, one of the dogs I had the pleasure of photographing on the course. She’s a wonderful, friendly dog, and very photogenic!

Myself and four other photographers will begin an exhibit in a couple of weeks. We’ve titled it Off the Clock, and it will premiere at The Old Orchard Gallery in Webster Groves MO on October 11th. We’ll be hosting a reception on October 17th from 6pm to 9pm.

If you get the chance, c’mon by and see what the five of us have been up to… off the clock!

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009 - 8:32 am Siobhan Wright - Hahaha, I helped with that! Yay! Lol, I was browsing this site the other day in ANP and Mrs. Larson (who is also the photography teacher) came by and said "Ohh, what is that?" and I was like, "Oh this is my dad's site. He is really into photography." And she said, "Oh you are so lucky to have a PROFESSIONAL in the family." Haha. She said you are a pro. XD You will always be the best to me. Love, Sio
