Wow, that junco photo just looks like a calendar shot!

Very good!

@elianafranzenburg beautiful shots! Yeah, I don’t know why I didn’t think of putting “God’s Word” in my photo. Great idea. Also liked how you have slightly different lighting, to give a couple options. Focus us just right in the flower shot; really like that idea! Never would have thought of it. And the water drops are so perfectly clear, that…[Read more]

@frazer-family wow! 15in? I just love the textures and simplicity of each shot! Would you have happened to take any shots when the sun was out, or did it stay cloudy until the snow looked ugly like it did here, when we got our whopping 4in? 🙂

Such a great question, @loganlamar! I’ve thought a lot about it, and I’m still trying to figure it out! Here are a couple thoughts from my perspective.

God is glorified when His will is done. I have my own ideas of how to glorify Him, but the fact of the matter is, because He’s the One that knows best how He can be glorified, then when I have the…[Read more]

Fantastic!

That’s fantastic! That’s always nice when she has some posing ideas. Now you have some posing ideas to use as reference for the next time around. 🙂

Might any of the photos you took be helpful for giving ideas to other photographers, via the Pro Posing Database? http://www.lenspiration.com/proposing

18-300 is certainly an awesome focal range for a simple walk-around lens. It comes with it’s limitations though. If you don’t think you need the wide aperture in low light (ie, you’re using it more for landscape or middle-of-the-day events/wildlife than for indoor shooting), and if you’re not concerned about chromatic aberration, excellent image…[Read more]

Here’s the photo I took for this assignment!

Sounds like a fun excursion, @greta-kennedy! My best photography memories are from when I’m out with my siblings.

Working with mid-day sunlight has always been a challenge for photographers regardless of the technology of the age or the skill level of the photographer. It’s just always hard to work with. The best way to deal with it is like what…[Read more]

@esther, that is certainly a unique opportunity. You did well. I’ll see if I can critique them at the end of the webinar tonight.

@frazer-family, thank you for the info! No need to upload the edited photos to Dropbox.

@kesleyfhall, thanks for the submissions. The rich green color in the photo from your archives is a pleasant change of scenery for this time of year. 🙂

@bennett-family, it’s nice that you had some natural sunlight to photograph so you didn’t have to…[Read more]

I enjoyed looking at the process you took to get the glowing effect in the first shot, @ernestf-lloyd. Removing the little distractions really does help. It appears that the natural warmth or softness of the scene was lost in the first edit, though. And I think the glow may cover too much of the scene. Perhaps if it was coming from the top of the…[Read more]

Good thoughts, @frazer-family. Do you think you would want to experiment with adding some glow to 20181008_WCF_0353-2.jpg using whatever program you currently have?

Also, I would be very curious to know where 20180528_EJF_9349.jpg was taken.

It looks like you have a very efficient method of organization to be able to pull pictures together of…[Read more]

Loved looking through the collection! There’s one thing that influences my decisions in this sort of scenario where multiple pictures will be used in one product: how do they look all together? Let’s say 3 of the 6 cards are dominated by a yellow color, and they are arranged/advertised/stacked in such a way that the yellow ones are the first…[Read more]

I really enjoyed this one! Despite not having actual sunlight on the path, it was fun to try and add my own. I’ll be keeping my eye open for “real” sunlit paths over the next couple of weeks though. 🙂
