NWPhotoSchool: November 2012

http://nwphotoschool.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, November 20, 2012. The pictures in between. I was traveling between two cities in the state of Rajasthan, India.when I happened upon this itinerant group of locals, and whispered quietly to my driver.STOP THE CAR! My point here, is that some of your best shots will be those moments when you are "in between" two places, and not really thinking about what's flying by the car ( or bus or train ) window. So never let your guard down.opportunities will pop up in the most unforeseen locations. Wellit'...

NWPhotoSchool: November 2013

http://nwphotoschool.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, November 12, 2013. Ok….so sometimes you just get lucky. I was wandering around Bondi Beach in Sydney Australia on a quiet afternoon, and happened to notice a salt water swimming pool at the far end of the beach. As I got closer, I noticed not only that the pool was empty, but that 2 young boys were standing quietly in the waterless environment.

NWPhotoSchool: January 2013

http://nwphotoschool.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, January 16, 2013. Banking on the fog. I'd driven by this location on the Oregon Coast many times, but this early morning was different. The small fishing port of Garibaldi, Oregon was shrouded in fog, and the sun was just starting to peek through the haze. The fog was obscuring a busy background, and only revealing the docks closest to me. Shoot first.eat breakfast later! Canon 1Ds Mark II with EF 70-200mm f2.8 IS zoom lens @ 1/250th f 5.6.

NWPhotoSchool: Rainy Day Refuge

http://nwphotoschool.blogspot.com/2014/02/rainy-day-refuge.html

Monday, February 24, 2014. I was wandering around Central Park on a dreary New York afternoon, looking for anything to shoot in the cold, flat light when the clouds opened up on me. There's nothing like being caught unexpectedly with all your camera gear in a downpour, so I quickly. Dashed under a bridge to try and keep things dry. There was no let up in the monsoon rains, so I started to explore the framing possibilities the bridges' arches were offering me. Canon 5D with 24-70mm lens.

NWPhotoSchool: December 2014

http://nwphotoschool.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Monday, December 8, 2014. A different point of view. I never understand it when photographers shoot the EXACT same picture that's on every postcard they can buy from any souvenir shop….when they could just spend a few minutes and find their own unique point of view. The moral of this story? Canon 24-70mm f2.8 lens. Sign up for our hands-on photo workshops here! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). To pick the right one for you. www.nwphotoschool.com.

NWPhotoSchool: February 2013

http://nwphotoschool.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, February 19, 2013. Good things come to those who wait. I'd heard about the skateboard park hidden under the Burnside Bridge here in Portland, but never actually checked it out.until now. I had waited until the late afternoon sun was doing it's magic with the light and shadows. The message here is sometimes it's better to find a nice "frame-able" composition first, and spend some time waiting for a moment of "gesture" to bring the scene together.

NWPhotoSchool: August 2012

http://nwphotoschool.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 30, 2012. Make friends in new places. So a photographer walks into a bar.er.a church. In the Cook Islands in the South Pacific.on a Saturday.what was I thinking? Sunday is a day of worship here.NOT Saturday! Soft, warm light was filtering in the stained windows, the century old walls peeling and nicely faded. I think it would make a really nice shot! So the lesson learned here, is that if you see a great location, but no-one occupying the frame, make it happen! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sunday, March 10, 2013. That is often the question when you live in the Northwest, and. The extended forecast is rain, rain, or rain ,. And you're thinking about grabbing your camera. Bad weather can make good pictures. A moist world looks pretty great -. If you decide to brave the rain, just make sure to use common sense and protect your equipment from getting wet. Find a covered area or protect. This cross country image was taken at Seattle's Woodland Park during a fall monsoon. View my complete profile.

NWPhotoSchool: Turning bad light into good

http://nwphotoschool.blogspot.com/2013/09/turning-bad-light-into-good.html

Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Turning bad light into good. So the sun is up, the weather is great, it's a perfect time to shoot people outdoors, right? It would have been perfect just after sunrise, or right around sunset, when the sun is low, and the light is softer and warmer, but right now, the sun is high with harsh shadows. When you try to shoot people in bright glaring sunlight, they squint, the light looks harsh on their faces, and the resulting images usually disappoint. The solution?
