Exploring the Warehouse District in Raleigh

My fellow photographer friend and I decided to take advantage of a perfectly overcast day and shoot some photos while exploring the warehouse district of downtown Raleigh.  I had driven through this area many times but never walked around and shot photos.  Oliver is pretty keen on spots around Raleigh for good shots.  We picked out two good shirts and a pair of shoes (that I am completely jealous of) and off we went!

I even used a new flash that I hadn't tried before.  It was off camera, so I was holding a camera and a flash.  No tripod and no stabilizing extra hand.  It was quite different from either having your flash on your camera or on a light stand off to the side.  I like being put in a shooting situation that I am not used to.  I learn something new every time.

The warehouse district won me over.  Less people, less cars, and a lot of character.  It's a great spot for a unique portrait session.  I can't wait to shoot out there again!

Here are some photos of our little photo walk about!
