Just An Important Reminder...

Hey All

Just a reminder - of which I was reminded today!

Cameras don't take pictures, people do. I shot one of these pictures today with my G10, the other a year or so ago with my 1Ds Mark III.

Both look pretty good to me.

Message: Compose carefully, see the light, watch the background, get the best in-camera exposure.

:-)

Keep shooting.

Best,
Rick
P.S. My next book (no kidding): Confessions of a Compact Camera shooter.

5.22 Friday Fun Photo

Hi All - TGIF

After teaching the benefits of using a reflector during one of my workshop (top photo), one of the participants came up with the idea for the bottom photo.

Here are two quick videos on how to use a reflector/diffuser kit. Just scroll down on that page and click the play arrows. One video for outdoors shooting, one for indoors.

Wanna jot down a quick caption for the bottom photo? All in fun! For ideas, see my Write a Caption post under Older Posts here.

Have a great weekend, pardner.
Rick

Where in the World? Wednesday 5.20.09

One of my Rick Sammon On-Location Light Controller and Tote goes to the first non-professional photographer (in the US) who most accurately describes the location in which I took this photograph.

Post your answer here. Don't know? Take a guess. Who knows?

Good luck!
Rick
P.S. Packaging, postage, handling, tracking and insurance make shipping outside of the US too costly. Sorry :-(
