I am stil waiting for someone to tell me what the images are actually of. Come on I know some of you folks can figger it out!

I guess you all are camped out waiting for the BIG I Phone release.
Not me sorry to say.It looks cool but I just don't need to stay that much in touch with the world and the internet as well, I heard that some folks with obviouly to much cash are paying folks to stand in line for them so they can get the latest tech toy.

Fooling Your Folks

No it is not what you think it is about fooling folks that view your images to take a real look at what the are viewing.
You can accomplish this by moving in on a particular aspect of a scene whether it is the texture of the sidewalk or the awesome green vein of a leaf! Who is to say? Do you ever watch a movie or a show on tv and you see more than the talking heads in front of your eyes? Can you remember the time on the clock in the background or what the sign read in the far left corner, what color was the car that just went by, can you remember the liscense number?

These are all exercises in helping accenutate your visual accuity. What and how much can you see in your minds eye as well as with your peepers.

Just remember exercise your minds eye to see MORE !

First Summer Weekend

Howdy
Hope this post finds everyone in great spirits on this first Saturday of Summer. I am sorry once more for my lack of posts, gotta get my brain in gear and do a post EVERYDAY no matter what.
I am invited to a summer solstice party today so I reckon I'll go for it.

Should be dragg'n my camera along for shots for posterity or whatever.

I am in negotiations for a photo gig with a new startup local magazine sounds like an interesting situation we'll see!........... I will keep ya all posted!!

Okay Dokie A photo tip, Let me see what is in the ol' cobweb laden brain pan today!!
Are you a tack sharp kinda person every detail in the image has to be sharp
or its not a great image, well I am kinda of the same way but have learned that selective focus for arts sake is always a great tool to make em' drool!

You do this by focusing carefully on the most important part of the scene/subject by opening the aperture up to it's widest aperture to minimize depth of field {longer lenses "my favorite all around workhorse is an 80-200 2.8" produce less depth of field, so therefore they work better for the effect} but use whatever lens you have and just be certain to have it open to it's widest aperture. An out of focus background is also a great way to disguise a funky junk filled background!

So there ya go folks
