Todd’s Photography
Who Says That Sunsets Have To Be Orange
A little more fun with photoshop.
This picture did start out as one of those bright orange susets … you know, when you point the camera directly at the setting sun and the whole sky is lit up like fire. (note to self: do not look through view finder when taking these type of shots; the spots in my vision have almost faded ..read more
Art Is In The Eye Of The Beholder
You know what’s cool about being a “photographer” … as opposed to just “some guy with a camera” ?
I can post up a picture like the one above; tell you that it’s “Art” (who’s deep meaning, I’ll leave to you to interpret); and you might just have to believe me.
Todd, the “guy with a camera” probably could have ..read more
One Antidote For Dull and Ordinary Pictures
I very rarely; ok pretty much never; just save/share my pictures straight from the camera (it probably has something to do with the fact that I shoot everything in RAW). But really, a fairly large part of making a dramatic picture, happens in the post processing stage … back in the film days, this “magic” took place in the dark room … now ..read more
A Pile Of Sand On My Front Porch
I remember when I deployed in 2007, my mom (as moms are wont to be) was all upset that I was going “off to war”. I explained to her at the time that in all likelihood, I would probably be relatively safer during my time in Iraq than I would at home … simply because I wouldn’t have to drive back and forth ..read more
But I Don’t Want My Picture Taken
Tough, I’m taking it anyway !
I swear some people will go to such great lengths not to have their picture taken. Seriously if they’d just stand still for even a couple of seconds I might be able to create a seriously cool portrait for them. But NOOOOO … instead they have to go moving around, and trying to cover their ..read more
My Favorite Lens
I got my first dSLR about 5 years ago. Like most people, I started with the kit lens, a 50mm, and a cheap 80-200mm zoom lens. Shortly thereafter, I learned about “quality” lenses, and went on a buying spree. The lens that’s on my camera most of the time is a Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 (I took this picture with that lens). ..read more
1000 Words
Well, they say a picture is worth 1000 words, and to be perfectly honest, I’m too tired tonight to write even half that many. So, it’s gonna have to be an essentially “Wordless Wednesday”.
Bonus points if you can figure out what the heck I took a picture of thoughp.s. at some point in the future I may ..read more
How To Make A Sunset Picture Interesting
This may surprise some of you, but I’m not a huge fan of sunset pictures. Don’t get me wrong, sunset is a great time to take pictures … just not always of the sky. The thing is, it’s not too hard to get the feeling that when you’ve seen one sunset picture, you’ve kind of seen them all. Even when I ..read more
