Sony Alpha DSLR-A900 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only) DSLR-A900

If I were in the market for a pro-level DSLR, and was not already so heavily invested in Canon, I would take a serious look at this camera. I have seen some product from this model recently and the results have been SUPERB! This camera could give the Canon 1D III a good run for the money -- at a much lower price point!

Richard D. Cole Photographer... New Business Card


This new business card is the beginning of my new ad campaign in which I am emphasizing quality and creativeness... I have found that in the United States today too many people are willing to accept "good enough," regardless of the field.  I, personally, am tired of mediocrity and I won't offer it to my clients.  So, "When Good Enough, Isn't" call on Richard D. Cole for your photographic needs!

A Wedding and A Father's Last Moment with his Little Girl



A father's last moment with his little girl...


Yesterday I was in Dorset, VT shooting an antique festival. While there I saw signs that there was a wedding in town so I decided to stick around and see if I could get a few good candid shots. In the past I have found that I can really get some great facial expression shots by standing far back and using a telephoto zoom. When I shoot a wedding on a contract I do all of the formal shots that most people want... but my favorite shots, and the bride and groom's too, are the informal candids that capture the true emotion of the day.

So... There I was taking some photos from the edge of the church property. I was leaning against a tree away from everyone dressed in my casual clothes, just shooting pictures for myself. I was there before most of the wedding guests arrived and got some good shots of people hugging and talking. I got this great shot of the minister standing near his Harley...
How cool is that... an Episcopal minister that rides a Harley!!!

Days End



I took this photo this past Sunday after a very long weekend. The sun was setting over Lake Champlain, with the boats silhouetted and all of the colors fading the shades of gray.
