LIGHTING BOOK (A COMPILATION OF LE TUTORIALS) FOR SUBSCRIBERS

Well it was planned for a long time. We put it on the calendar back in December I believe. I couldn't speak to it until it went "live" so to speak, and the marketing push started. So I simply alluded to a certain three days that my friends and LE followers should...

NOTE: THE CONTEST IS CLOSED. WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED MAY 28. Winner: Catherine Johnson AND Eric Bartel. We had a tough time with the tie, so we have to go with both. I will need to hear from you two very very quickly so we can find a date and a time. NOTE: For all...

I am a big fan of Wordpress. I love the ease of use, and the total attention to quality that the Wordpress folks apply to the changes and updates to the core product. I also love traditional websites and feel that they do have their place for photographers. But many...

It was a bright Friday morning as I left to go up north. I had planned on leaving a bit earlier than 8:30, but those plans were offset by the need to get my youngest to school and finish some things at the office. Sometimes the plans we make don't work out. They just...

I have promised myself that I will get out and shoot more for myself this year. These "improvs" are part of the process. I limit myself to one subject and one hour. And the subjects can range over whatever happens to be near me or catch my eye. This time it was pods I...

Occasionally we get a little off topic on a Sunday post. While this one is no exception, there are some very interesting posts from photographers I think you should check out. You may have missed them along the way, or not even known about the blogs, but they are...

And that's a fact, Jack! Over at Project 52 (www.project52.org) we did an assignment on Desserts. The job was to make a dessert shot so inviting that it fairly SCREAMED chocolate (or at least DESSERT). We had a lot of submissions. Here are twenty that caught my eye......

I think it leads it. Simply and right out there. This story on F-Stoppers has a lot of comments on it, most of them missing the point by a swing and a miss (sorry...). [Shocking] Getty licenses Nick Laham Photographs Of NY Yankees Taken With iPhone The story is about...

... or something like that. I don't remember the particulars on the slant of the article. Late on a Monday, the art director called in a panic with a rush job. Could I do an illustration for a publication that was going to press on Wednesday. We had to shoot it,...
