In this episode “Photography Goals”
We can help move our photography forward by putting words to our goals. Goals are more than a to-do or wish list, but journey which at the end there is a reward.

I was very fortunate to take a leap back in time to what once I thought would be my photographic career, architecture. I had just finished my first year of school and architecture photography really appealed to me and I was pretty good at it. Obviously that’s not how life unfolded but I still have a sweet spot for it. This past weekend in Austin I had the opportunity to revisit the old flame and a few things came back to mind.

The photo we were after is what you see below, what we used to call a Dusk & Dawn, a photo just when the sun sets and the lights come on. It really only takes a few moments to make that photo but you always arrive early just because. Because you wanna find the right spot, make sure everything is how you imagined it and to simply enjoy the passing of light. There is a time though when you’re waiting for that Dusk & Dawn when it’s great for B&W but not for a color image. Until I was standing on that knoll, I had forgotten that piece of trivia. But as you can see above, the B&W photo though shot at the same time as the color photo above, the B&W has a heck more snap to it. It’s a small thing that you can now tuck in the back of your shooting mind.

In this episode “Kaboom … Flash Time”
By a show of hands, how many are intimidated or outright scared of flash? How many own a flash, know they should use it but it’s the last piece of gear pulled out of the kit? Perhaps this will get you past the hurdle.

We are incredibly fortunate to travel out with our imaginations, passion, and cameras and see the world. It’s a grand world with lots to share and teach us. In that is the challenge of the landscape photographer. No matter whether the landscape is your own backyard, town city or some far off destination, they all have many aspects that are similar. Our landscape photos need to say more than, “I was here,” but rather, “You NEED to be here!” How to we make that difference in our photos?
There are so many possibilities from gear, techniques and digital darkroom for you to choose from. During our time together, we will do just that. We will cover gear, techniques, lights, locations, strategies, and post-processing so you have many options to select those that work for you, your photography and storytelling. Join Precision Camera and me for a great night!
Take your landscape photography into the city and to the next level with Moose Peterson in this special workshop at Butler Metro Park. The iconic skyline will serve as the perfect backdrop along with models to bring the city to life.
