Let’s face it. No one actually enjoys being the third wheel on a date. You can be with your best friend, whom you love to pieces, and their fling-of-the-month, whom you tolerate, but you will never enjoy it as much as just being with your friend.
Read MoreWhen looking at art there can be said to be a wide variety of styles, mediums, genres, and sub-genres. To say all of this can get noisy is an understatement. It is most easily seen in a poorly laid out gallery that mashes them all together as a collage of chaotic pieces with nothing in common.
Read MoreA lot has happened in 2019, but much of it hasn’t been photography related. I haven’t even purchased any new photography gear in an entire calendar year! In my personal life I have gotten married, moved, and earned a promotion. We got married in Hawaii, which is a great photography location, but the trip was not meant for taking landscape images. So, while I haven’t really done anything major in photography in 2019 it doesn’t mean I wasn’t able to capture some really nice images!
Read MoreWe all have different goals and ideas of what we want our images to be. Many photographers are content allowing their captures to be memories or a simple photograph for themselves and their immediate family to enjoy. I can certainly see how this can be a healthy approach to your photography! However, there are still photographers out there that desire for their art to be upheld on a larger scale, and to perhaps be revered as masters of photography.

This was mostly a honeymoon dinner cruise on a yacht, but I was allowed a few moments to photograph the coastline during it which I am very grateful for! The result was one of the most challenging, exciting, and exotic landscape photography experiences I have ever had.
Read MoreI recently saw a similar article posted by another photography blog, but I wasn’t a fan of the solutions they came up with. I don’t agree with buying 3rd party lenses, batteries, or memory cards if they don’t offer a similar or better performance to reputable brands. I have had experiences with off-brand batteries being unsafe, cheap memory cards failing, and cheap 3rd party lenses offering results worse than the original iPhone when paired with a modern DSLR. So, I have compiled a list of ‘better’ ideas for saving money as a landscape photographer.
Read MoreWhen it comes to art, everyone has their own tastes. The colors that we like and subjects that are portrayed in which we may connect with change with who you are as a person. You can like different mediums with paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures, etc… However, the most consistent variable that people have a preference for is the size of the works.
Read MoreLandscape photography presents many opportunities in the winter months! The second worst choice as a landscape photographer is to stay inside at home. The worst choice is to go out to these beautiful places unprepared for what mother nature is going to throw at you! So, let’s take a look at what it takes to capture images in the winter months without sacrificing your safety, sanity, or serenity.
