Color & Textures

I like to photograph things with substance. What I mean to say is that my eye is drawn towards textures and shapes in living things and inanimate objects as well. In direct sunlight you must be very aware not to burn out the highlights of the picture and cause your exposure to be too contrasty. So there is a fine line in preserving the full range of  your photograph with the proper exposure. My advice is to shoot RAW images and adjust in Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom. A few examples . . . .

Travel /Vacation Photography

The one thing I like so much about photography is the fact that you can sit your camera on the shelf or pack it up in the bag and forget about taking pictures for a while. Whether or not that is a day or two or a few weeks or even a few months, that is entirely up to you. Then, out of the blue you will be looking online and perhaps you see a great picture or reading a magazine and see something that catches your eye, and you get totally re - enthused to go out and take some pictures.
Nothing gets my juices going though like taking a trip and going to an entirely new environment with my camera bag. A new city or town to take photographs gets my senses at their pinnacle. I tend to get absorbed in colors, textures and architecture. My eyes are paying extra attention to detail. I constantly look for interesting looking people to take candid pictures of their everyday life. I record the memories I want to have of my trip, and you should always do the same. There is not standard when it comes to your personal preference. I have posted a few examples.
