Wow! I would LOVE to do this! My husband and I spent the past few years living in Vermont (at a ski area), but as we are avid divers, we tended to get out of the state in the summer and fall to dive in Maine. Just as I got my 7D last summer, Irene hit and pretty much wiped out our foliage season, so I haven’t had a chance to shoot in the fall yet!

Join us, it will be memorable, to say the least :)

Amazing Shot in the Dark ~ Night Photography

Amazing Shot in the Dark ~ Night Photography  Amazing Shot in the Dark ~ Night Photography Recently while attending a campout, I had the opportunity to capture an image of an 1839 Mountain Howitzer firing in the dark. There was one shot and only one chance to capture the image. Using my Night Photography knowledge,...

AMAZING! I’ll bet that shot made your day!

It did! I was completely surprised that it turned out that well. :)

Amazing shot!!!

Amazing shot – well done, Kent!

I tell everyone I know with a camera to take the Night Photo class :) I had just gotten my first DSLR when I did it, and the shots I created in that class were enough to inspire me for a lifetime. Thanks Kent! This shot is spectacular!

This is fantastic. I love the story, and thanks for tips regarding how to improvise a night shot without a tripod handy. Your end result was fabulous. Congratulations, and thanks for sharing your experience and lessons through this video.

Good day Ken
Hope you, family & business are all going well – i just came across your brilliant video tutorial on water marking in Lightroom 3.
This is great for me a keen amateur – i am kinda new to Adobe Lightroom- i live in Cold , Wet, Moody at this time of year London UK—- and shoot the odd wedding during the wedding season with my Nikon D200 and my Brand New 2nd hand Nikon D3

A friend from a wedding i did last year asked me if i could put her 618 images from her wedding onto a site so she can show her friends & family that she can link them up to view her wedding thumbnails- i am going to sign up to Flickr & upload the images for Private viewing
But i wanted to put a watermark so no one can copy the images: Your Tutorial was neatly done , very clear and easy for a slow learner like me to follow, i am not from the digital age – but keen to learn.
I also like your images you must be Cooking on Gas Ken ? the Quality is Bang on the Money( Great)
How do i resize all my images for web viewing so when i add the watermark- i can then use the Lightroom upload to Flickr – i have heard there is an option in LR for doing this? Can you explain please.

Thanks for sharing the knowledge

Blessings & Respect

Will

Hi William,
Thank you for all the kind words, much appreciated! :)

In Lightroom goto File > Export > and you will get a list of choices. In the list you can constant the file size to a maximum for both the vertical and horizontal sizes. Also in this list, you can add a watermark here as part of the export process and not have to load the images into Photoshop. Secret – test run an image or two to see if it turns out the way you’d like before running the whole folder of 600+ images. ;) Let me know how it goes for you.

The Most Valuable Photography Accessory

The Most Valuable Photography Accessory  The Most Valuable Photography Accessory I cringe to think of all the things I’ve bought through the years centered around photography. Of course, the cameras, then the lenses, and the peripheral items; cable releases, mounts, tripods, monopods, covers, cases, batteries, memory cards, and on, and on. The sum total, I’m...

I was really hoping that would be your answer :-) AMEN and AMEN!

What is different about me now and two years ago in regards to my photography journey is the knowledge I have acquired along the way. It is the time I have invested to learn new things, try new things, brave enough to make mistakes and learn from them too.

Thank you for writing this post!
God bless,
Jill
PS I love seeing the photos from when you were younger!

Thank you Jill. You just warmed my heart! :)

These are fantastic! I must learn of this thing called “blue hour” and then I can create shots like that that are in my own backyard! :)

Wait, that’s right, you’re in the DC area. :) Lucky you!! Heading your way next month.

I believe knowledge is knowing stuff, and wisdom is knowing how to apply the stuff you know. I think you have become wise over the years and your passion is evident in your images. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, they are spot on. Age and experience has it’s advantages as long as we tap into them, right?

All the best, Kelley

As I was reading the article I was trying to pre-empt what key piece of equipment this might have been. Tripod was my first guess, then it was cable release … when you said knowledge, I had to agree.

The best thing you can ever do is muck up a good opportunity – you won’t make the same mistake twice, and next time you might also take a bit more time to set up a shot. Knowledge and Experience is certainly the key.

I heard somebody ask once, what settings did you use on that photo. The response was f2.8, ISO 100 and 40 years of experience.

Thanks for your feedback. I love that quote. And another answer. “the right exposure” ha! :)

Loved this…I was just looking back over some of my first photos this week also–I didn’t know about Bokeh or fstop or Blue Hour-yes-that build up of knowledge gives a certain wisdom to my photography now-ever learning. Thank you for all of your knowledge that you share…inspiring me to keep learning…

I hate to disagree with such a well scripted post. Knowledge is secondary to inspiration, the desire to capture a moment forever. Just my two cents. I mean my photos are rubbish but I love them just as much. Maybe that in itself is knowledge. Laters, happy snapping.

Squally.

Great point. A moment captured to be appreciated forever is priceless. Laters. :)
