I think a lot of photographers stay away from lighting gear for a variety of reasons: Expensive Confusing Takes up a lot of room It's much easier to simply step outside and take photos in natural light. But what happens when the sun goes down? How about when the weather is bad and you're...

One of the most overlooked camera accessories is a better strap. The ones that come with your DSLR are the very least the manufacturer could get away with and still call it a strap, not to mention they are very uncomfortable around your neck and cause your camera to bounce on your chest around...

Here's one I did today of a friend's daughter. Aside from the softbox glare in her glasses, I'm mostly happy with it. What I really wanted to show you here is the backdrop. It appears completely black even though there are two powerful lights that are less than 10ft away pointed directly at...

There are lots of single image HDR presets and actions out there. None of them can replicate the look for a reason: they're all LDR (Low Dynamic Range) images. By definition, it takes multiple LDR images to make a single HDR. The main thing here is DR (Dynamic Range). Even today's most...

There's a great article on Strobist this morning, a highly recommended read: Choosing Extension Cords for Plug-In Strobes Some technical info there, but it's stuff that you need to know, especially if you're using more high-powered studio-type lights such as AlienBees.

Candid photography: It's straightforward, unaltered, and taken without the subject's knowledge. Timing is everything when you are taking candid photos because you are trying to capture someone's "essence" in a single decisive moment. Maybe it's the old grumpy guy who secretly cracks a smile as...

Jen is correct...sort of. This is a blown glass sculpture by world-renowned artist Dale Chihuly.

My turn. Guess what this is...

First, let me make clear that I did not take this photo. It was taken by a staff photographer for the media group that I work for, which owns several local newspapers. The publication shown here is the "group" publication. This is just ridiculous...and on the COVER no less.

I feel burned out. Assignment photography has sucked the life out of me...I haven't picked up my camera in over a week. I actually got the itch today a little bit, packed up my gear and headed for the door, only to decide at the last minute that I just didn't know what to shoot. It's kind of...
