What ‘cha waiting for?

What are you waiting for?  Seems like a whole bunch of life is standing around and waiting for something.  That is not going to really change - there will always be time.  The question is what do you do with the time spent waiting?  Do you spend the time in anticipation of what you are waiting for?  Most people probably do. Maybe we should spent the time living in the moment.  Look around.  There is a big beautiful wonderful world full of interesting people.  Maybe one of them can become your friend.  Maybe one of them is an old friend…

California Dreaming…

Exactly a year ago we were on a mini-vacation in LaJolla California.  Sunny days and beautiful sunsets!  Why did we not do that again this year? I do enjoy Winter - at least the first month or two, but lately I've been more and more sad that Summer is gone. Maybe next year...   Composition with stock photo and a sunset shot Canon 5d mkIII | Canon 24-105 f/4 | 1/30s at f/9.0

How to Photograph a Sunset – Part IV

I love sunsets!  There is just something so stirring about the end of the day.  It is almost magical for me.  Of course I also love sunrises.  I just don't love getting up in time for the sunrise. So, how do you capture a sunset?  First find a good place where you can see the sunset.  Then find out when the sunset is going to happen (https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/) and get there early enough .  I usually try and arrive 30-60 minutes early as sometimes you need time to find the best spot - also some nice pictures can be had before…

Max and Saurab at High Cliff

Site seeing with some friends from Grenoble, France. We watched a beautiful sunset at High Cliff State Park and really enjoyed the colors. This is a technically difficult picture to pull off for several reasons.  The first is the backlight from the sunset will fool your camera into making their faces really dark.  However, if you expose for their faces the sunset will be too bright and all the color will be lost.  The second is the high depth of field requires a small aperture which will drive the shutter speed down and the ISO up.  Low shutter speed -…

Another Sunset

Another sunset picture.  The light was so beautiful and made everything so special. When you look around the world it is so easy to worry about the future - the news is all bad news!  But, if you step away you see that there is so much beauty in the world.  Yes, the news is bad, but it has always been bad!  Always some crisis or flood or war or law and order issue.  We live in this world and and we care so we want thing to be better.  That is a good thing and we should never stop…

Another Sunset

Another beautiful sunset in Neenah.  This is from the Friendship trial on the Fox River.  A cold front was moving in and created beautiful clouds, colors and light.  This is a composite of 10 photos stitched together in Photoshop CS6.  The challenge here was to keep the ISO down to prevent noise while getting a low blue shutter speed and sufficient depth of field.
