2009. Castillo San Felipe del Morro, San Juan, Puerto Rico  To date, I've traveled to all 50 states and 5 continents...
This was taken my first digital camera, a simple, cheap one. I was a surfer while living in LA. I captured this at Huntington Beach from the pier.
Beginner tips on how to get good action shots:
Another image captured in Chicago in 2008. The subject is the Robie House. It's the angles in the structure that really catches your attention.  Frederick C. Robie House If you're into architectural photography, check out Berenice Abbott's work.
Still in Chicago at a Cubs game with my family. (The Cubs lost). I was annoyed by the post in the shot, so I included it into the composition. This was my first attempt at framing.
Wrigley Field
A great video on composition by Jamie Windsor. He's excellent at explaining a lot of techniques and concepts. I encourage you to follow his YouTube Channel if you want to be a serious photographer. Another image taken in Chicago. I took my daughter on a sunset cruise. I rarely shoot through glass. Here's an example of why I don't:  Lighthouse in Chicago If you must shoot through glass, here's a good article. This was shot in Chicago. I had taken my daughter for a week to the Windy City as a high school graduation present years ago. I really wish I had found Lightroom sooner...  Navy Pier Here's a link to Lightroom tutorials. These are paid courses and I do not endorse any of them. But they are reviewed by users. I'm self taught and learned by simply playing around.
I always felt sorry for the trapped animals behind the glass. Yet I snapped away. In several years, I would abandon this practice...  Chicago Zoo Karen Lunney is one of my favorite wildlife photographers. She's located in Australia but more famous for her work in Africa.
My first vacation after moving to Los Angeles was to Las Vegas. This was taken in the lobby of the Bellagio Resort. My first use of cropping photos.
The hotel's famous glass flowers on the ceiling.
Here's on of the best videos on cropping, presented by the SLR Lounge: Because Maui (a rescued, 14 year old Westie) goes with me on most of my shoots, I'm introducing her. Bambi came first. She was fearful and timid. I thought another dog would get her out of her shell. I couldn't have been more wrong. Once Maui was an adult, they needed to be separated. I will never have two dogs again. Bambi passed immediately following our move to Boston.  Not besties... |
