Getting Ready for Fall Shooting

Rambling Camera Conversation..........

2009 Scott Kelby Photo Walk - This year we had a good time walking in downtown Greenville, SC and had a good twenty to thirty attendees. The pictures are rolling into the Flickr site and it is impressive what you can capture in three hours. Check out the details at http://www.flickr.com/groups/skphoto2009-greenvillesc/

Length of Summer Days - As we prepare for the number shorter days (less sunlight) to begin increasing, we now can begin capturing evening shots (and early morning shots) and get a little more sleep. Begin preparing the ND and Polarizing Filters for the tree color and I am thinking about trying frozen waterfalls if I can make it out this winter season to capture these subjects.

Great Apps - If you are a Nikon User and use your iPhone there are a series of apps available that are the Nikon Camera Users guides on the iPhone. The unique part of these apps is that they are presented in the context of the menu's within your camera. The group also has a Live View application pending that will work with your iPhone and some Nikon Cameras on the App Store. Check more details out at http://kentidwell.net/

Enjoy until next time.......

Mount Rainier in July

After an overnight to Mount Rainier in Washington State, the experience left me with the desire for more visits in the future.

The park itself has many opportunities for composition. The obvious ones of mountainscape photography exist. but also waterfall, wildflower, rock sculptures, glacier/snow and much more.

The challenge with the park is determining what is your focus when you get to the park and then how you will work that subject.

I have included several of my shots of the mountain but will certainly plan another trip in the future.

Another angle is once you capture the mountain try turning your photogrpahy into Black and White. This image brings us more into a creative angle. Visit the rest of my gallery for more photo's from the park.

Estes Park, CO

My trip to Rocky Mountain National Parks - Estes Park, CO (for a brief hour and a half); turned out to be an interesting photography adventure. This federal park is a great area in Colorado that is an easy drive and provides a great area for landscape and wildlife photography. Once I entered the park the immediate availability of mountain landscape shots was apparent. Also, identifying wildlife was as easy as driving slow enough and watching the Elk cross the road. Preview my images in my gallery and let me know your thoughts!

Capturing the Night in Northern Greenville County

We are beginning to see the color change in Upstate South Carolina but it will probably be one or two more weeks until we see the brillant Yellows and Reds of the Blue Ridge Parkway at higher elevations. None the less I always emjoy visiting and capturing mountain view perspective. Even got a shot of downtown Greenville, South Carolina.
