For several years, photographers have availed themselves to the latest in image & corrective enhancement software. Gone are the days of chemical baths we once used to develop our negatives; now almost completely replaced with high speed computers and amazing software. I've received many emails asking what software I use to finalize my digital images. As I thought about devoting a blog

It's the biggest day of your life... Maybe you're not sure what to expect from your photographer? What exactly does your wedding photographer do for you? More importantly, what should your wedding photographer do for you? After shooting hundreds of weddings, I have learned there are two things that will ruin your day. # 1 is obvious.

Professional Photographers Take Heart

THE DUST HAS SETTLED...HOORAY! For the past year I have been receiving emails from many professional photographers. They go something like this... "There is too much photography out there. People shooting weddings on the cheap, stock agencies building inventory like there's no tomorrow, magazines closing their doors, the big box stores shooting portraits for 29 bucks. I've had to

I've always enjoyed taking advantage of new technology as it evolves. Take a look at this LINK and watch the video before reading further. My commentary follows. If you are a amateur shooter or professional, one can not help but be impressed at this video when we consider (what) was the prime image capturing device. A DSLR that costs about $3,000! Wow!

Look at This! and My Favorite LINK This is why professional photographers employ assistants and use current technology. Sadly; the above scenarios are becoming all too common. I wonder how many images were forever lost of the ceremony that will never be recovered? Although it's a funny video, we have to ask ourselves (WHY) this happened and is it a chance you are willing to take on your

Photography Meets Video

I knew this day would come sooner or later. Well; that day has arrived. As working photographers, we must either adapt to change or wither on the vine. Publishers, editors, commercial accounts and such are shifting to photographers with more skill sets; more bang for their (end users) buck. Mixing video with still photography is fast becoming a “must have” skill set.

A Million Stories

One of the neat things about being a photographer is meeting so many people. All of them have a story. I love stories. A story to tell This wonderful gentleman I met at the Bluffton street fair. He told me about all the places he went in his 1941 Ford Truck. Look at the map he's holding. 1939! Opening the map he showed me all the places he visited as he explored the states; every place

(Auto) P,S,A and M… Huh? Or..Lions & Tigers & Bears, oh my! In continuing our discussion about DSLR’s, the above cryptic letters are easy to decipher. They stand for (Automatic), (Program) (Shutter) (Aperture) and (Manual). That’s the easy part. Learning how when & why to use them is a little more daunting. Let’s start with (Auto) or Automatic.
