I have known Kelly for 11 years. She is one of my longest friends and one of my besties. When she told me that Chris had proposed to her (at the Eiffel tower on Valentine’s day nontheless) I wasn’t surprised. These two work so well together and balance each other out perfectly. While we were hiking to the top of Mt. Pinos, I shot a couple photos of them. All on my small mirrorless system. I am loving how they turned out.

This past weekend some of my camera gear got swapped around so that I ended up shooting with a friend’s camera rather than my own. It comes from the habit of sharing and lending equipment within your circle of friends. I have gotten into the habit of changing the photo settings around to best match my preference of a more desaturated, low contrast, and high sharpness for shooting.
The one setting that I forgot was to make sure that the images were checking to see the image format. Most of my friends shoot in RAW so I’ve never had this issue before, but over the weekend I began an impromptu photo session in JPEG.
NEVER AGAIN or at least I’ll try my best to avoid that.
On the brightside, this allowed me to really focus on just a handful of photos and spend a lot of time of them. I got to do a mini session with Adrian around his neighborhood in Goleta and here’s how they turned out:
