I decided recently that I wanted to learn more about light, in terms of how to use it to get the photo I want and how to best illuminate subjects. The book that all serious photographers seem to lean toward is “Light: Science and Magic”, so I bought it. Open it up and it will […]
It is interesting how my comfort level with public photography changes from time to time and location to location. I am usually not a person for public photography, just because it seems like it is viewed negatively. I carry my camera when I go places, therefore, I am a photographer, but what do others see? […]
