Hello Friends,
How was your weekend? It was gorgeous weather in my neck of the woods. Autumn is stretching out into December, which always makes me very happy. The leaves are gone from the trees, though. So, my photography was geared more toward the lonely, desolate landscape. Do you know what loneliness and desolation stand for in this description? They are emotions drawn out from the circumstances of the scene. I often think about that before clicking the shutter. What emotions am I sharing in this photo? When you give something purposeful, your viewer gets something meaningful. Food for thought!
Global shutter? What’s that? Specifically, we’re talking about an electronic shutter, not a mechanical one. But there’s more to it than that. Check it out in this blog post. This is likely the future of digital cameras. TAKE A LOOK →

You may be wondering why. Read this post, and you’ll discover that not all filters are created equal. TAKE A LOOK →

“Every artist-photographer has a central story to tell, and the difficulty, the impossible task, is trying to present that story in pictures.” — Gregory Crewdson
