Want Your Images to Look Different? (part 1)

by kbpadmn | Black and White, Creativity, Digital Photography, How To, Inspiration, Landscape Photography, Vermont

Then photograph differently!  I don’t mean to be glib, but it’s really true. We’ve all no doubt heard the famous Albert Einstein quote about the definition of insanity: something like doing the same thing over and over the same way and expecting a different...

Photograph with Intent – Part 3 “The Decisive Moment”

by kbpadmn | Belize, Creativity, Digital Photography, How To, Inspiration, Landscape Photography

As I alluded to in the first two posts of the series (“Getting Picky” and “Creative Exposure”) our photographic journeys are very much an evolution, everyone on their own path and pace.  Except unlike the slow and steady pace of biological evolution our evolution as...

Cloud Light

by kbpadmn | Deserts, Digital Photography, How To, Inspiration, Landscape Photography

All photographers are students of light but as landscape specialists we’ve got to be keenly aware of the subtle nuances of light on the landscape, particularly if we want our images to stand out in a crowd of ever-growing landscape imagery.  In my last post “Getting...

Getting Lucky at the Grand Canyon

by kbpadmn | Deserts, Digital Photography, How To, Inspiration, Landscape Photography

No, not like that.  Geesh get your minds out of the gutter!  I mean truly getting lucky with the light and atmospheric conditions when out photographing.  There is a great quote, I think by Arnold Palmer or some other famous golfer about how the longer he practices...
