The Right Place at the Right Time

I was recently complimented on these two photos.  I said thank you, but then I told my friend that I was not as great a photographer as these photos imply at the time I took the photo.  Heck, I don't know if I'm that good now.  What I did know at the time was that sunset was a great time to shoot.  You get warm, golden light and if you can balance that with your flash, a beautiful subject as well as great communication with the lens, you get a great shot.

No question, you should strive to know everything there is to know about your craft.  But sometimes, its best to know one really important thing.

Sometimes simple is best

As I continue to grow and learn more with my photography, I look for new ground to cover.  I get frustrated sometimes because I don't have all of the gear I want; lights, light modifiers, technology, assistants.  It sometimes feels like I can't do things like the big boys because I don't have the resources.  Well, last week I learned that you don't need all of the bells and whistles to create great art.  All I had was a model, no designer fashion, no high end make up, no studio; one light with an umbrella and a black background.  Great art is all around, you just have to learn to see it.
