The “space” I’m speaking of here is dealing with the composition of a photograph. Using the lead in photo above as an example I’m referring to the large amount of extra space to the top and left of the flower blossom floating in water. I chose to compose the image that way to exaggerate the [...]
Silhouettes are sort of the reverse of most other techniques used to make your subject singled out in that usually your subject becomes the darkest part of the photograph. I feel this method explores more of the shape of the main subject than anything else. A silhouette proudly shows the outline of the main subject [...]
I’ve previously written an entire series about color in nature photography but this time I’m going to concentrate on using color to make your subject stand out. For the most part color in nature isn’t something we can control. As a photographer all you can do is observe it and capture it, which can make [...]
Photography lends well to those who think, “what else do you do when you look for things to grace that new roll of film or the mega pixels processed by the sensors on a digital camera?” Then there are the times when the weather sucks like it did in the North East this year. So [...]
I know I know, fences aren’t exactly nature or wildlife related but they do exist in some beautifully scenic areas and can actually enhance a photograph some of the time. For me as a photographer a fence can be a blessing or a curse. There have certainly been times when there is a naturally beautiful [...]
I spend a lot of time outdoors chasing nature with a SLR camera, big lens, and various equipment hoping, to get the job done. I probably spend as much time talking to people about photography because big lens draw people who think you have all the answers. Well no one does. That prompted me to [...]
Argentina is a place that might not normally be at the top of a wildlife photograhers must go list. Maybe this post will change that. Over a week and a half this past Christmas and the new year we traveled to several places throughout the country and saw some incredible places, wildlife, and birds. [...]
Well, this color isn’t that exciting but it is incredibly common in nature, brown. A bit on the dull side, sometimes even boring. Brown doesn’t stand out too much and yet it can still make for some dramatic views or hard to find animals and birds. When the sun hits something brown just right it [...]
Red: bright, vibrant, powerful, and eye-catching. Those are just some of the descriptive words that come to mind when viewing something red. Red can paint an entire sky during a sunrise or sunset or make a tiny bird stand out like, well, a bright red bird in a green tree. During the fall color change [...]
Let’s brighten things up this time, enough with the black, time to move on to orange. Orange is another abundant color in nature, especially during the fall months in many areas of the world. If it’s not too cloudy you can start and end each day with some orange during sunrise and sunset, usually some [...]
We just got nailed with a very bad (or good depending on how you look at it) snow storm here in the Northeast this past weekend. Here in the southern New Jersey where I live we got 23 inches of snow in just a little over 1 day. I realize compared to some areas of [...]
After the leaves fall there is an emptiness in the landscape. Void of color, and other than the wildlife that is about, it seems lifeless. That is until the first snowfall of the season. On this cold December morning I got up out of a warm bed to head to Bantam Ct. to catch the [...]
