Inspirational Weekend Reads
If you read the two titles together, one seems to respond to the other and when it comes to improving your photography, they do! George Shiras’ Hunting Wild Life with Camera and Flashlight is an amazing book! Shiras was a Nat’l Geo shooter starting in 1898, to repeat, 1898!

Digital Darkroom – Shooting – Workflow Webinar Today!

I’ll be doin another online class with Precision Camera today and the doors are open. Here are the basics: You want the best possible photograph. Remember that it begins and ends when you go “click” with the camera! With that said, our cameras are what I loving refer to as “cold, heartless bastards.” There is no setting for romance and no slider for passion. You have to bring that to your photograph, and that is often done in post — in the digital darkroom. Finishing your photographs – not fixing – is what we’ll be covering in this special, fun webcast. I’ll start with how the photograph was taken, knowing what would need to be done in post to finish it and then, actually going into Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop. I’ll go over how if I can’t get an image finished in two minutes, I will abandon it. We’ll...
