Photography Month in Review—-February

What a month it has been. I spent the majority of February in Hawaii visiting with my ailing grandma. Naturally, I brought my camera along. Only I didn’t bring my computer, which made it hard for me to write as many blogs I am normally do. So what would be the Photography Week in Review is now (just for this entry) the Photography Month in Review. If you missed any of the exciting items covered this month now is your chance to get caught up. Photo Challenges. Can you recall your most challenging photo shoot? One of my most memorable … Continue reading →

More Tips for Winter Photo Shoots

If you live anywhere near the Upper Midwest portion of the United States then I’m sure you would agree that Old Man Winter has hung around long enough. During the last four months we have been hammered with snowstorm after snowstorm; endured brutal wind chills and chipped off more layers of ice than most Alaskans do in a lifetime. Still, there are times when I have peered out my bedroom window and wished I was hearty enough to brave the elements in order to capture some frameworthy winter scenes. Alas, I have not made good on my New Year’s resolution … Continue reading →

If you were too busy recovering from your New Year’s celebration to get your daily dose of the Photography Blog now is your chance to catch up. This week I completed my series on eBay photography.

Taking Your Camera on a Boat

In previous blogs I’ve discussed ways you can protect your camera on trips to the beach and even on the ski slopes, but I haven’t touched on how you can snap frameworthy shots on a boat ride without worrying about putting your expensive photo equipment at risk. Camera protection is critical in shooting water sports. Fresh water is bad enough, but when salt water infiltrates your camera you are looking at potentially devastating damage. Which is not to say you should simply leave your camera at home when someone offers to take you surfing, rafting, kayaking or paddle boating. On … Continue reading →

Extreme Shooting

In my last blog I shared my resolution for 2008—-take more winter action shots. I am a whimp when it comes to cold weather and as such I often miss Kodak moments of my daughter frolicking in the snow and ice. That’s my New Year’s resolution. However, I am mindful that not everyone lives in a place where it snows and therefore some of the same incentives don’t apply. But, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t incorporate more adventure photography into your daily or monthly shooting regime. When out in nature you will inevitably come across situations that requires special … Continue reading →

Taking Your Camera Outside During the Winter

I will be the first to admit that most of the photos I take during the winter months are inside shots. Being that I was born and raised in Hawaii it is hard enough for me to expose my body to the brutal Wisconsin winter elements, let alone my prized camera. But, as I’ve discovered in the last couple of years, blaming Mother Nature is a bad excuse for missing frameworthy shots of my daughter sledding down a hill or making a snow angel in the front yard. So in 2008 I am resolving to get out more… and take … Continue reading →
