...Forever!
Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and instead of quoting Dr. King, I prefer to quote Michael Jackson’s song, “Man in the Mirror” – “If you wanna make the World a better place take a look at yourself then make a change.” I think Dr. King would like the song and the sentiment very much. We all need to be vigilant against hate of all kinds every day. =o)
So, I read this photography book, The Digital Photography Book, Volume 1 by Scott Kelby cover to cover between today and yesterday. It was really good. Lots of stuff I knew, stuff I didn’t know, and stuff I needed to be reminded of, presented in a highly readable and enjoyable format. I bought volumes 2 and 3 as well. We’ll see if implementing some of the ideas and tips improves my photography in general. Big tip I will struggle with is using a tripod so much, but…if I wanna keep making better and better photos, I’m willing to try and see if it makes a “change”.
You all probably know Scott Kelby, his writings, and online Photoshop TV program, but while the name seemed familiar, he’s new to me. Anyway, good Stuff, and we’ll see how some of the tips work. One tip, funny because I’m always craving sunny days for my bird shots is shooting on overcast days, and pre and post storm/rain, so since it was overcast and raining the better part of the day, I went outside and tried it out as well as some of his tips around exposure and composition.
I shot this flag on my excursion, and even though it was overcast, and the flag was WAY up there, if you look closely, you can see the stitching on the stripes and that the stars are very fine and embroidered. The entire flag against the overcast sky was less splendid, so taking a tip that wasn’t new to me, but a good reminder, I cropped to a part of it in detail. I like it, and I hope you do too!
Hugs and thanks for viewing! =o)
