There have been quite a few folks here that have helped me with my journey into saltwater. While my knowledge on SW is not sufficient to help others yet, my knowledge on photography is. There have been a couple of folks that has mentioned wanting help on bettering their photography skills. Well I aim to do just that.
I have been into photography for more than 20 years and for a while I even worked as a semi-pro photographer until my other business started demanding more of my time and I had to choose.
My passion is nature photography, but I also have a studio setup for people as well. A few months ago I was doing a photo shoot for Senior Photos and I have also been the photographer of choice for a small modeling agency. I have nature prints hanging in houses across the country and my people photography has won awards.
I personally shoot with a Nikon D90 and I shoot 100% in manual mode and I also shoot in RAW (digital negatives). While you can do so much more with a DSLR (like the D90) the newer point and shoot cameras are pretty good for basic photos. You just don’t have as much control over the outcome of the photo.
I have a couple of uses for this thread in mind. Anyone that would like help to improve their photography I would encourage you to post up a photo here that you’d like help with. I will do my very best to get you the results that you are looking for.
Another thing that I am planning on doing over the course of this thread is to write some small help articles. My goal is to help you better understand photography and how the settings relate to the image you are looking for.
Keep in mind that while there are some rules or guidelines for photography, the finished product is all about the photographer’s vision. Just like any other form of art… photography is subjective.
If you have any questions… please feel free to ask. The only stupid question is one you never ask. Ya’ll have helped me out tremendously in learning about saltwater… this is one way I hope to give back to those that have helped me.
Below is just a very few of the images I have taken over the years.
Bald Eagle taken with a 500mm Lens
>White Daisy photographed in my home studio
Cossatot River at first light in southern AR
Timber Wolf at the edge of a woodland pond (shot with the big lens)
