Just Gotta Stop For Clouds!

We had driven past it a couple of hours earlier, but it was in full sun with bald skies. Yuck. When we came back by, the thunderstorm was building and the aperture in the clouds let enough light in to bring drama while providing a great background. So was required was an illegal U turn as we were shooting. The only real question was, what lens to use? There was actually no right or wrong answer because everyone could make up and tell their own story. I went with the 18AF for a couple of reasons. One was its angle ...

Super Moon & Photographers

Photographers love the moon! More then histograms or new lenses, photographers see a moon and it has to be incorporated in the photograph. No matter if it's a micro dot, no matter if you can't see the "man on the moon." If there's a moon in the sky, it's in the photograph. This weekends "Super Moon" had photographers around the globe pointing there lenses up shooting the bigger, brighter moon. Our group from Photoshop of Shooter this weekend had photographing the moon as an assignment. How could any photographer pass it up? I've seen lots and lots of Super Moon ...

I did this for a long time, most still do and while you get an OK photo, you can do much better relatively easily. What's the issue in the top photo? ...

K&M Adventure FL … 3rd Morning

We started a new tradition at our K&M Adventure Monument Valley of going to some place new neither Kevin or I have been to before. It's a way to see not only how we deal with a new location, but share visual ideas as they come to us. So this morning on word from some birders (which turned out irronious) we headed to Myakka River State Park. It's really a gorgeous place, when it's not hot and there is moody light. We arrived when the ground fog was amazingly thick so we slammed on the brakes and stopped in this ...
