Re: Soccer portrait pose and lighting questions
I just thought I'd follow up with folks and let you know how this turned out. The shoot was yesterday afternoon. The weather was threatening rain and very dark clouds (it actually started raining right after I finished the shoot - I got soaked running my gear back to the car). After spending some time planning, I decided… -
Re: color mode?
OK, thanks for the context. Here's some suggestions. First, if you are shooting RAW, you don't have to worry about the color mode in your camera. It's a RAW capture. The color mode is specific to the camera's sensor and not something you change. You probably already know that, but I thought I'd mention it for completeness.… -
Re: Dancing with the Clouds [Warning: 9 colorful images]

Re: Traveling to Washington State, recommend photo locations
Washington has too many great sites for photography, so a plan is a good idea. You won't have enough time to get to all you have listed. The suggestions above are all great. Tri-cities is in eastern WA which is on the dry side of the Cascades Eastern WA is as culturally different from Western WA as it is… -
Re: HS Basketball, First time
Aloner... Considering what you had to work with, you did pretty good. What you proved was that you were able to follow the game and get some nice sequences of shots- Now, since you asked for advice.... Go directly to your Yearbook Adviser, do not pass go, do not stop at the cafeteria or even the lavatory.... Look them dead… -
Re: histogram question
Peaks are fine - they occur in nature In my opinion, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a peak in a histogram like this. The x-axis of the histogram is the tonal range (left is shadows, right is highlights). The y-axis is just a measure of how many pixels in your image fall in a particular tonal range. So, a peak in… -
Re: Client image review/approval (a.k.a. proofing)
Maybe part of the difference is because I haven't been syncing my site with LightRoom and I don't use LR for everything. Finding the correct file in my archives is easy for me, when I set up my current DAM workflow 12 years ago I began using a unique file name for each image that tells me exactly where to find it in my… -

Re: C & C Please First Engagement Shoot
Don't quit! Oh man, when I look back at some of my beginning photos I cringe big time. Everyone starts somewhere and everyone should always be improving (even people at the pinnacle of their photography career). A critique can sting sometimes (I've definitely felt it myself on occasion), but the fact that several took the… -
Re: Sunset on Ruby Beach
Thanks! The lenses were the Canon 24-105 and 16-35. My technique: 1) Live within 4 hours of an awesome beach 2) Drive there on an impulse, even if there's a 50% chance you won't come away with anything 3) Get extremely lucky with the clouds and the low tide and the sunset 4) Take off the lens cap :D Because of the low…
