If youβre from Oklahoma, you need not be told that some of the most impressive homes around are in Nichols Hills. My friends at the Mercy Hospital Foundation asked if I would join them and photograph a special fundraiser to be held at a home in Nichols Hills for a cancer center. Iβm a bit embarrassed now that I canβt tell you who the fashion jewelry designer was or even whose home it was, but it was all very impressive and nicely done. =) I was quite involved just taking pictures that I didnβt get a chance to meet the designer or really anybody else, although I understand it was attended by a veritable βwhoβs whoβ of Oklahoma City.
Photographing the event was a lot of fun. Everyone was nice and didnβt seem to mind me moving around taking pictures despite my flash brightly lighting up the dimly lit room. The main purpose for photography was to just document the event for the Foundation, but they may find use for some of the images in their newsletter like they did with the Mercy Golf Classic photos I took earlier this month.
Without further ado, here are a few of my favorites.
I thought the lighting here was really cool with the warm light inside in contrast to the cold twilight outside.
There was a great fireplace dividing two rooms, so I just had to get a shot from the opposite sides. =)
These guys were hard at work. I used a slower shutter speed to capture the ambient light (and also the movement of the bartenders).
Cheers! Everyone had a great time.
As always, thanks for reading!
