Perhaps the number one reason people attend photography workshops is for a photo tour – to be put in the right place at the right time. We selected Tony Sweet because he is a master of composition and is aggressively creative. I went to be stretched and challenged. That said, I do want those killer […]

Greenbrier Cascade
As I have an increasing interest in black & white imagery, I have processed the few workshop images done so far in color and then black & white. This particular image of a cascade up at Greenbriar seems more effective in monochrome. OK, good and I move on. Then I check out our workshop mentor’s […]
Reflections & Other Delights
What did you learn? Perhaps the main question we get asked after we have plunked down a good chunk of cash for a workshop. In my case this week a hefty chunk as it was an advanced workshop – just five shooters. Pretty intense. Now I know the conditions necessary for good water reflections and generally what […]
National Cemetery – Soft Shadows
Shadows do so much for us. Often we work to minimize their effect because cameras can’t look into shadows the way our eyes can. Our time in the National Cemetery became a good lesson for us. Take away the shadows and we lose so much of the character of the place. If my photo does […]
Ten for Tony
My morning project has been selecting ten images for critique at my workshop up in the Smokies next week. So, of course, I wind up selecting an image taken in the early morning up in the mountains – and one with water. Weather is not looking good but who cares. I get to hang out […]
Saturday Night Fever
Come to the Fair. It’s Saturday night. It’s family night. It’s date night. It’s the last night to play and play we did. While the world pigged out on rides & food, we got to delve into visual goodies – camera settings. All sorts of buttons to push and dials to twirl. Sometimes to […]
LARC Arriving
Big boy arriving. No lark this one. That aint no tweetie bird. Weighs 260,000 pounds and is being delivered by a barged 500 ton crane. Turns out to be a big white elephant painted olive drab with Home Depot outdoor paint. You see the barge company sold it for $7,500 after taking out the engines. […]
Come to the Fair
Nice morning this morning. The piers beside us are empty so I have nothing to add interest to the foreground so I just shot and enjoyed because that’s what I do even when I have no purpose. And then the water looked abstractly interesting and then a plane from Orlando flew up into the sun […]
The Day Is Underway
Nice morning this morning. The piers beside us are empty so I have nothing to add interest to the foreground so I just shot and enjoyed because that’s what I do even when I have no purpose. And then the water looked abstractly interesting and then a plane from Orlando flew up into the sun […]
Morning Shadows
Sometimes the obvious is not so obvious. For whatever reason, we have passed by the National Cemetery in Beaufort, SC multiple times without giving it a thought. For whatever reason, I finally thought of it. So, we spent part of an afternoon and two mornings working the textures, the patterns, the trees. The cemetery’s standards […]
