A Neat Trick on the River
Chestatee River in the north Georgia MountainsTo shoot a canoe in a river, you need to rig the canoe so that it won't move. I set a cable across the river and tied the canoe to the cable. Then my subjects could paddle all they wanted without going anywhere. I was able to make the shot at my leisure!
Architecture & the Sweet Light
While most subjects look better when shot in the sweet light of sunrise or sunset, some benefit more than others - think architecture. Whether it’s a high rise skyscraper, a country barn, or even your own home, photographing them in golden light makes them appear more striking and dimensional. So set your alarm clock early enough to be where you want just as the early light kisses it. Or reconcile that you’ll be a bit late for dinner when you photograph the structure of your choice as the sun descends close to the horizon...
Autumn Photography
Washington DC DPA Instructor Dana Bowden offers 5 tips on photographing in the autumn time.
Big Skies!
Nothing says open space quite like a landscape defined by little more than big sky and continuous ground. In this image, stratified layers of color transition through various shades of green, yellow and blue, delineating a compositional plane and horizon. We find a soothing calm in the rendering of earth and sky in minimal content and form, which is interrupted dramatically, however, by the comet-like trail of the cloud.
Bird photos and patience
Patience is key! I set up this shot with the camera zoomed out and rested on a railing which was close enough and high enough to get this image straight on.
Chair Foliage
Fall foliage often conveys a sense of tranquility and even halcyon days of yesteryear.
Clouds and Coastal Shots
Fall Foliage Photography
Fall is one of the most exciting times to be out shooting landscape images because of the spectacular color found in the trees dotting the hillsides.
