The new, the horizon and the passing.
The new
I’ve just written a quick article on composing landscape shots. If you are a fan of landscape photography but don’t seem to get the shot you want, give this article a read.
The horizon
The Whale Tail I ordered showed up last week and I am spending the next few weeks putting it through it’s paces. Once I have compiled enough information I plan to write a review and possibly a few tips and tutorials. It is definitely a tool that all photographers should have in their camera bags.
The passing
News travels fast except when you don’t have your ear to the ground. I had to learn of the passing of one of my hero’s, Monte Zucker, from the cover of a photo mag who was putting on a memorial spread in his honor. What’s worse is his passing was back in March.
I can’t begin to tell you how it saddens me to hear of Monte’s passing. I learned a great deal about portraiture and lighting from studying from Monte’s work. If you haven’t had a chance to see Monte in action and are interested in the very finest portrait photography, stop by the store and pick up a video or two. There is a lifetime of work to study there so it’s well worth the money.
