Been Away......

I am sorry to everyone that I have been away for a while, and we are just getting back into the loop of things. although we have been local, we have been crazy busy the last couple of weeks. I will try harder to keep this as up to date as possible.

We have done a few family portrait shoots, and we have been working hard at lining up weddings for next year! Things are going well, be looking for some new pictures in the next couple of days!

I am glad to be back....

Photo tip of the day - be patient

When you are trying to get that perfect shot, just be patient with it. Don't give in too early, take your time and get the shot you have come for.

Photo tip of the day - Move it from the middle.

begginer photographers are notorious for their instinct to center everything. Unfortunately centered pictures aren't terribly dynamic or interesting. Instead, learn to move your subject away from the middle of the frame. A simple way to frame a photograph in this way is to follow the rule of thirds. To do this, simply divide your frame up like a tic-tac-toe board and place your subject at any of the intersecting lines.
This may seem a bit awkward at first, but once you see the results you'll wonder what you were thinking placing all of your subjects in the center.

Photo Tip of the Day - Get eye level

When you are photographing kids, animals, or even adults, make sure you are eye level with them. This creates a warm inviting feel to the picture, and really makes them stand out as the main focus of the image.

Photo tip of the day - Get in close

All too often the actual ’subject’ of a street photograph gets lost in the activity going on around… Get close to the subject, make them the primary object in your frame. Don't let them get lost in all the hustle about that is going on. 

Picture of the week!

Tip of the day - Don't delete the mistakes

The temptation with digital is to check images as you go and to delete those that don’t work immediately. The problem with this is that you might just be getting rid of some of the more interesting and useable images. Keep in mind that images can be cropped or manipulated later to give you some more arty/abstract looking shots that can add real interest to the end album.

Few Pictures from the Bassetti shoot....

Here are some pictures from the bassetti shoot, I hope you enjoy them!

BE Bold

Don't allow yourself to be paralyzed by fears of using the wrong settings, or an non-politically-correct social policy.

If you are afraid of upsetting someone by taking their picture, just go up and ask if it's okay. Ask them to sign a release and offer a print in return.

With wildlife, adopt a low-impact method when you go places where few photographers have gone before. Use different settings on your camera, experiment with different lighting, turn the ordinary into the extraordinary! The best way to learn, is to do.

Be wise... but be bold.

Finished a awesome shoot with the bassetti's, great photo's and great time with friends. Now onto the editing stage.
