I’ve been thinking about this a lot since February, when we had the opportunity to visit Utah… After shooting spectacular night skies with minimal light pollution, how do you go back to shooting “normal New England” night skies? I mean look at those stars. LOOK AT THEM.
Last month, I put together a video tutorial for the first time. The topic was one I’m very familiar with — shooting waterfalls — and the waterfall itself was a pretty spot close to home. But talking to a camera was difficult. It wasn’t being in front of the camera that was intimidating… Just… Trying not to be an awkward mess while talking at an empty room felt impossible. Lol So big high five to all you content creators out there who do it everyday and make it look easy. And a huge thank you to Matt, the owner and video editor over at Light & Landscape, for making lemonade out of the lemons I gave him. 😅
If you want to see said video and be uncomfortable on my behalf, and maybe learn something about waterfalls, hop on over to the publication’s website and subscribe!
This is a photo from one of the stills I took at the river that day.
The newest article, featuring photographer Beth Young, is live on Light & Landscape. We chatted about setting goals for your photography, and how life impacts your ability to keep those goals. I found her outlook refreshing, and oh so inspiring! Give it a read and let me know what you think.
Connecticut doesn’t have many “big views”, but boy do we have a lot of trees. They say you can always find something to shoot close to home if you look hard enough.
I have the feeling that most photographers will be able to relate to this: I’ve shot this location dozens of times, and never walked away with a photo I liked until now. The frustration and subsequent feeling of triumph IS REAL.
Two of the biggest skills a landscape photographer needs is patience and perseverance. In the end, they’ll pay off.
Looking for other bloggers, book reviewers (if you can read, you're in!) and photographers who want to join forces to save the world! (Or something like that.)
