Across
the room, intently looking through the glass was a jaguar. It was in its perfect pose, just gazing out
like it wanted me to come over and photograph it. So when I looked I knew it was just a matter
of time before all the children and surrounding families at the zoo would tap
on glass or disturb it or aggravate it.

Incognito
While vacationing at my cousins place on a lake I was presented with multiple photographic opportunities: fog, sunrises, sunsets, reflections, and frogs. Yes frogs. Each morning the area near the lake was still wet with dew and the frogs propagated there.

Blocking out the Sun
Ideally, when photographing your want the sun at a low angle. This means capture times either need to take place two to three hours maximum after sunrise or two to three hours maximum before sunset. In between that time, the light is not ideal, especially if the sun is out in full force. So what are you supposed to do if you want to capture something and the time is not ideal?

Can the Sky Be Your Subject?
When shooting sunsets, sunrises, storms, etc., a lot of people shoot the areas surrounding the sky. But what if the sky was so awesome that it could stand alone in a image?

The Perspective of Repetition
Perspective and repetitive pattern in photography are two ways to bring interest into your subject and make your images more compelling. Combining both of these at the same time can yield some interesting results and if done right produce a captivating image.

4th of July Freedom
I have a bit of a special place in my heart for the fourth of July. It might have something to do with that fact that I was supposed to be born on that day, and it was 1976 (yes aging myself) so I have the whole bicentennial thing going as well. I did come a few days early though. But I digress.

The Power of Penumbra in Photography
What the heck? Penumbra, umbra (isn't that a store?), antumbra...basically they are all parts of a shadow. A shadow is key element that makes a photograph powerful. After all photography is about seeing light and part of light is the absence of it or shadow. Shadow plays a key role in photography due to producing depth in a photo or adding a second dimension to something that otherwise would appear flat. The length of the shadow also can produce an interesting element to an image. It all depends on the light source and its angle.
