The Humid Photographic Fog Effect

It wasn't on purpose. Out a few mornings ago, the light was just right. I wanted to add some images to my extensive "Amy's Garden" portfolio, the portfolio I've been building for years of Amy's garden. Flowers, plants, wildlife. The garden Amy has dedicated herself to cultivating for 13 years. I've been photographing it for 5 years now with plans on publishing a book of her nature efforts. The sun had risen just an hour before, I had the indirect light, and I grabbed my Nikon DSLR with Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical IF Macro Zoom Lens (click here for the Canon version of the lens) attached

Photographing Rare Clouds

ong time nut for photographing storms and clouds here. I do admit it. Been working on my "Sky" portfolio for years. On the night of June 23, 2010 we had some powerful storms roll through Michigan. Passing through early evening, we were presented with an extremely rare occurence of what is a newly designated cloud type; Undulus Asperatus clouds. I've only seen them just a few times in the past 20 years, but last night was the first opportunity for me to capture the images of these rare clouds. Turbulent motions between differing air masses create undulating clouds Meteorologists have proposed that these clouds be designated as the first new cloud type to be named in over 50 years: Undulus Asperatus.

Father and Son Landscape Photographers

INSPIRATION is the word of the day. As I've taught for years, the best way to be inspired, educated and motivated is to view the works of other photographers. Joining local camera clubs, reading the trade magazines every month, buying portfolio books from your local reseller or online is a great way to become inspired. Don't be afraid to purchase these from other photographers either. It helps promote eachother, and it will prove how open minded you are from learning from others.

Photography Above the Clouds

Millions of flights a year. Billions of fliers. Out of that many that travel the friendly skies, how many do you see taking photos through the window? If you haven't tried it, you might be pleasantly surprised at the results. If you're patient, lucky with light and sitting in a window seat away from the wing, there is nothing stopping you from passing the time working on your "sky" photography.
