The Nikon 1 V2

I shot this boat house using a Nikon 1 V2, it captured the shadow and the highlights in the water really well. I maintained good range using the active d-lighting and the 18.5mm lens help me to achieve distinct lines across the frame. I love the auto white balance feature, it helps make a smooth transition in color.

On The Look Out For Great Shots

More Symmetry Photography

Symmetry Photography

Have fun with your photography by looking for symmetry in your shots. While browsing images and sights in your everyday life you may come across some reflective images by mirrors, shade, or even water. Focus on trying to balance the horizon across the center of the frame for the best results.

Insect Photography

Very tough shot using a laser beam photography rig.

The Butterfly Effect

I like to take two different approaches when capturing things like insects, butterflies, or birds. Sometimes I might want to isolate the subject from it's surroundings. To do that I usually will use a long lens and a wide aperture. Or sometimes I will do the complete opposite and pull back on my zoom and use a smaller aperture to capture more of my subjects natural habitat surroundings.

More Landscape Photography

When heading out to capture some amazing landscape photography don't forget your filters. Especially your hard, soft, and solid Neutral Density Grads. The hard and soft grads help bring the sky and the land together in one harmony. While the solid ND grads help to capture movement in the waters, the wind blowing the trees, and clouds in the sky.

Tripple Falls Glacier National Park

This photo captures the moody, cloudy mid day light beautifully. The colors are stunning, the lines definitive, and the shapes and textures are spectacular. The low point of view with a wide angle lens does the photo much justice and the slow shutter speed really captures the movement of water.

Tripods Are Very Useful

Tripods can be a bit of a pain to lug around, but I find that my landscape photo's come out best when using one. I have much more control and precision especially when dealing with those slow shutter speeds.

Wildlife Photography

Capturing awesome wildlife images can sometimes be very exciting. Dawn provides the best light for photographing wildlife and it's also a good time because the animals will be preoccupied with finding food. Remember to pack light and move very quietly as you stalk your subject. Another technique is finding a comfortable spot and play the waiting game.

Capturing Fast Moving Targets

Set your telephoto lens to it's widest aperture for the best results when shooting fast moving subjects. This will lower your depth of field making the shot considerably tougher but her, practice makes perfect.

Digital Cameras

When purchasing a digital camera it's important to know that you get what you pay for. The more expensive cameras have a bit more weight to them because they are usually made out of steel and are very durable. Cameras that weigh less are usually less durable and are made from alloy or polycarbonate which feels like plastic.

Wide Angle Lenses

Wide angle lenses help you fit subjects or scenes into the frame. There are three main types of wide angle lenses, the fisheye lens (circular or full framed), the fixed wide angle lens, and the Ultra wide angle lens. Most people go with the Ultra because essentially it is made up of all 3 lenses at a fair price.

Photography | The Color Of Light

The color of light as it pertains to photography techniques is an important thing to know. The light you can see with the naked eye is made up of color wavelengths going from warm to cold. Color temperature doesn't have anything to do with temperature rather it refers to the actual color of the light.

Metering Patterns For Perfect Photography

You must understand your camera's metering patterns to get perfect exposures when taking photographs. The metering system decides the best exposure after it determines how much light is in your shot. Multi-zone is the default metering system and if you change that you may want to change your exposure as they work hand in hand.

Close Up Photography

Close up photography is proven to be difficult but don't let that deter you from giving it a go. Your challenge may be establishing a good depth of field to get a focused and sharp shot. That's why your choice of aperture is important. Go with f/16 or f/22 but remember that the higher the f number the slower the shutter speed will be so be sue to hold that camera steady.

Photography With A Telephoto Lens

In order to get a great frame-filling picture from long distances try using a telephoto lens. The lens magnifies subjects far away, they have long focal length's and there a must have when you can't get close enough to the subject like at a sporting event, or if you don't want to get close to the subject like wildlife.

The Fundamentals Of Landscape Photography

When doing landscape photography you may want to capture a broad view. A good way of going about ensuring that everything is in focus is by shutting the lens down to f/16 to increase your depth of field. You will need a wide angle lens for this because small apertures go hand in hand with landscape photography.

Shadow Photography

Here the sun is just arising, as it peeks through these statues the shadows make it into a great shot.

Photography In The Shade

Finding shade in the sun is essential to good photography. Shade is the only way to escape sun rays and settings in high contrast. Taking shots in the shade while the sun is up will give you more control over the light. The shot will more than likely come out softer and cooler but that's better than that glare the harsh sun rays give off. In this portrait she is under a tree in the shade, but we still allowed for just enough sun light to peek through for a great shot.
