Behind The Lens

Air miles it is only about five miles from the ranch I grew up on. It is almost 20 miles as you follow the the highway and roads

Lighting

A beautiful early spring day just after mid day. Learn to take pictures in all kinds of lighting and learn how to use the light to your advantage.

Equipment

Sony A330 with Sony 18-50 mm lens Steadied shot on guard rail

Inspiration

I feel that this is one of the most beautiful spots in the world in early spring or late fall. It is such an inspiration to me that when I go to the Doctor and have my blood pressure checked. I have Doctor fear which elevates my blood pressure. I will have the first reading taken and then ask them to do a second one. During the second reading I very intensely concentrate and pictures this view in my mind. I will get a reading from 10 to 12 points lower than the first one.

Editing

I do not do much post-processing. I may make minor adjustments to light, color, and clarity, and that's about it

In my camera bag

A promaster 70-300 mm lense, polaroid lens filters. Two extra Camera Batteries. Binoculares. Flash. Extra batteries for flash. Thumb Drive. Three SDHC Drives. Transfer Chord. Program to download pictures from SONY. Lens Cleaner. Instruction manual for SONY Camera

Feedback

If you are a beginning photographer get as much training as possible. Learn about all aspects of photographer. Learn when to use Programmed, Automatic but most of all learn and spend most of your time on how to use manual. Enter websites like view.bug.com, Gurushots.com. You will see examples of all types of photography. Take the time to find out what camera was used and what settings were used to get the picture displayed. Training does not have to be expensive with the books and training available on the internet. Remember that a good picture is about 60% Luck, 20% Camera and 20% knowledge of photography
