Good pictures just present themselves

Take pictures into the sun. Some of my best pictures come from backlit subjects. Direct sunlight on items tends to wash the color away

I love macro. To find a photo that comes from where peoples eyes ARE NOT looking is the key to many great pictures

Tehachepi California is just to the east of Bakersfield on the 58. It's a beautiful place

Behind The Lens

Location

In the grass outside my house with flowers as a backdrop

Time

I prefer taking pictures early or late in the day for side lighting and reducing the starkness of overhead light

Lighting

Light is literally everything. Place yourself in the position of the viewer and shut out what's out of frame so you can see what THEY will see, not what YOU can see.

Equipment

I use a Sony FDR AX100 video camera set to still photography. No lens, no tripod.....maybe a rock

Inspiration

I see a picture, I take a picture. The key is in the seeing AND in the taking

Editing

I did something but I cant remember what it was

In my camera bag

I have drones, GoPros and video cameras.

Feedback

Take 5 pictures of varying angles of each subject. There's always one that's better than the others
