Beached, it's Creation

Image
  This is the story behind one of my most popular and favorites photos and how by accident, it came to be. In the later part of 2022, our area Facebook pages became a buzz, talking about this sailboat that had washed ashore in the Navarre Beach/Pensacola Beach area. Well of course, being one of my favorite subjects to shoot, I got with fellow photographer (Walt Ebbert of Walt Ebbert Photography) and headed down to see what it was all about.  Sure enough, there she was, beached at the surf line. At that time, no one really knew how it got there, it was just too soon to know the story. It later came out, the owner was sailing off of the Navarre Beach area and suffered some type of medical emergency, incapacitating him. The seas were a bit rough at that time causing the sailboat to drift ashore. Some beach walkers found the boat and called for help, the gentleman was life flighted to a local hospital and that's where the story dissipates with not much, if any info afterwards. The...

The Aches and Pains of Camera Gear

Image
 Lets all agree, camera gear can get heavy and of course the more you accumulate the more it weighs, and well age can play a little factor, (Ok maybe a little more), as much as we don't want to admit it. So, that is what this blog is about, gear weight and how I (we) can mitigate it. It seems the obvious choice is to get lighter gear and yes, that is what I looked at first. Our choice of lenses can be the biggest weight savings, as professional 2.8 lenses can weight a whole lot more than prosumer type lenses. Along with that, Prosumer style lens usually out weigh entry level lenses most of the time. The same can be said with camera bodies, the higher end the body, the more it usually weighs. So the idea is to strike a balance with your gear. Then there are all the accessories we choose to carry, depending on the type of photography you choose, will dictate how much extra gear you will be carrying. It could be carrying just a tripod and some filters to a full blown portrait (lights/...

Getting Outside Your Comfort Zone

Image
 Getting outside your comfort zone sometimes, can be quite the experience, both for learning and growing as a photographer. A couple weeks ago, a fellow photographer friend, (Walt Ebbert Photography) told me about a Night Shooting Seminar and wanted to know if I'd be interested. After a few minutes thought, I said sure, why not. I checked out the workshop details, and it seemed as if it was pretty much going to be a downtown night photo shoot (old buildings, night scenes, etc). It said something about a model being available, but I didn't think too much about that part.  I also learned, the instructor was pretty famous in the fashion /portrait/commercial photography world, so that was pretty cool. We arrived at the workshop and were introduced to our instructor and model for the evening and that's when I learned, it was going to be more of a model shoot amongst the old downtown area, which is way out of my wheel house. We were also going to do this night shoot without use i...
