You know, sometimes I think it’s fair to compare nature photography to playing the one-armed bandit at the casino. One day you may begin to think you’ve had enough and the next . . . you can’t get enough. Today was one of the latter. It was one of those mornings I’m always talking about […]
It has quickly become obvious that the challenge to create a new expressive photography every day for 100 days is really a challenge. Here it is only day number 5 and I was finding it difficult to find time to get outdoors with my camera. Now, getting outdoors isn’t a requirement of this challenge, but […]
My wife says “He’s never happier than when he’s in a fog.” I’m not a big drinker so I believe she’s talking about how much I typically enjoy photographing foggy scenes. With that understanding, you will understand why I was feeling pretty good as I pulled out of the driveway at about 6:30 am. It […]
I felt like I had to get my photo in today before the weatherman made life miserable, so I was out early with no specific destination in mind. It seems, though, that my trusty Silverado knows where to go so I ended up at Labrador Hollow. It was almost a repeat of the conditions I […]
Okay, I’m hoping the hunt doesn’t get more difficult. Today was one of those days where everything you do seems to get in the way with what you want to be doing. I left the house about 6:30 am and soon became aware of a dramatically colorful eastern sky. But, first, I thought, it will […]
Over the last couple of days, I’ve extended an invitation to our local community of photographers to join me in a 100-day challenge of creating one meaningful, expressive photo each day. Today is New Year’s Day, 2020. What better day to set off on a challenge. The photos in this post are my favorites from […]
What better time is there to present ourselves with a challenge. After all, the New Year’s holiday period is a traditional time when we make resolutions. Resolutions to do things that make us better at something: better Moms and Dads, better employers or employees, healthier people, more knowledgeable about something . . . oops, there […]
My friend Sue Morison will photograph almost anything, except weddings, she says. A few days after a session on close-up and macro photography at my Getting Ready for Winter Photography workshop earlier this month she was out with here camera putting it through its paces on Syracuse, NY’s Clinton Square. This is the first year […]
Okay, here’s some more about Martha’s experience and recent show, which wasn’t her first. However, I don’t recall how many she’s shared with the community. I’ve gotten to know Martha Lanctot quite well, initially as a student in my workshops and over the years as a friend. I’ve come to appreciate how through photo workshops, […]
A newsletter along with scheduled classes and photoshoots have recently been introduced to f/8 insights, all under the auspices of Tom Dwyer Photography. Following a recent survey designed to determine the interests of the members of the meetup group, f-8 photoclasses.com, a schedule of classes and events is being announced for the coming weeks. While currently scheduled […]
