An Idea for Christmas
I don’t know about you, but I am pretty happy with some of my photos. My friends and family like them too. So, Why not give a photograph to them for Christmas? The only problem I have with this is deciding what type of frame to use. Does it fit with the other frames on the wall? Is it always best to go with a basic white matte and black frame? Why not make it something different? I found this site online called Fotoflot . This is pretty cool. It solves the dilemma of which frame to use because there is no frame. Check it out and let me know if you like it.
Travel Photography Without Traveling? I’m Serious!
Here’s a good idea. You want to get into travel photography but don’t have the money or time? Well, do it from home. You don’t need to travel to sell your photos. Here is an example. I live in Southern Utah. I want to do travel photos but can’t afford a trip to Japan (I really would like to take a few weeks off and visit there). But, where I live, there several national parks that are within a hundred mile radius. I could visit Zion’s or Bryce Canyon. You say you don’t have any national parks near you? Photograph your town. Now you say it is too small? Come one. I lived in Malad, Idaho, population under 3000 and I still found tons of stuff to shoot. So, there is no excuse not do travel photography. After you get a few good ones, go out and sell them. You can use the money you get from them to buy more photo equipment. Have fun and don’t forget to bookmark this site and visit often. Thanks and enjoy!
Here are a few of my “local” travel shots.
Building a Triangle: Composition for Two or More People.
Today our lesson is on how to photograph a family. This idea also works great for couples. It’s really simple. When posing more than one person at a time, build a pyramid. Here is an example…
When Blur is a Good Thing. Dedicated to Head Bangers.
So, most of the time when a photo is blurred it is a bad thing. Well, would you say I was crazy if I said sometimes blur is a good thing? I knew it, you think I am crazy. I am a bit, I mean I can act weird sometimes. My wife says….uh well, let’s leave it at that.
Anyway, I believe that blur can be very effective if used in the right situation. Sometimes you find yourself thinking, “What am I going to do? I forgot my flash and now my photos won’t turn out.”
That is what happened the other night. I went to see Korean dancers. I really could have banged my head against the seat in front of me, but then the police would have asked me to leave. I had forgotten my flash. Instead I just figured I would make the best out of it. This is what I got:
Mystic Forest
I took this photo about 2 years ago. The fog was pretty thick and it was very pretty. It was taken in Montana, near Missoula. This is one of those shots where I happened to have my camera with me. I always carry my camera now because you never know if you will miss a good shot. Luckily for me, I had my camera on me that day.
