Why all the fuss? For most of us, it’s not that big of a deal ... we grab our camera, turn it on, point at our subject and shoot. Pretty simple right? But if modern photography is that simple, and people are really so happy, then why all the photography books, classes, workshops and seminars? Why then, in a world were technological advancements have made capturing an image easier than making a cup of coffee, do we still want more? The answer is simple: pride. We’re missing it ... and we have to get it back.

Fun at the Embarcadero

Had the chance recently to combine multiple exposures, a few in-camera 'painting' techniques and off-camera flash. With some playful control of the contrast, saturation, white balance and hue and using a few swiggle, flutter and fishing techniques we were able to 'paint' our way around the embarcadero in a brand new way. What fun!!!

It's amazing what you can accomplish when you push your knowledge, your equipment and your vision to the limit.
