It may seem strange, but some of my favorite images lately have been out of focus. Let me clarify. I have methodically selected certain lenses and purposefully thrown the image out of focus. The result, a nice painterly image with vibrant hues and intriguing shapes. I have never learned how to paint, so I feel [...]

As I previously posted, there is a new area of photography I recently have explored. It is indoor HDR photography with my 5D and 17-40mm. I knew that I would enjoy this idea, but until I truly indulged myself in it I did not realize just how much I enjoy it. Yesterday I went into [...]

Using a Canon 5D and a pinhole body cap will be my newest addition to a variety of techniques I already have used with the camera. A pinhole camera body cap is exactly what it sounds like: a body cap with a tiny hole in the center. Using the cap instead of the lens will produce less than sharp [...]

This will make four posts in one day, oh well. I usually wait and spread out my uploads, but I figured that the reason I take photos is so that I can show them. Enjoy.

Okay, so sometimes I get a little cocky. But seriously, isn’t that a spectacular sky? I had a wonderful time tonight, but now I must do the dirty work. Editing 270 images can become tiresome, so bear with me.

Sometimes things don’t go the way we expect them to, sometimes they do. We never know which though. We must always remember to try and find gratification in the small things and not only in the big things. Maybe look at the smaller picture instead of the bigger one for once. Not everything that happens [...]

Photographs Like a Painting

I recieved numerous compliments on my photographs recently (all which I really appreciate). A few comments caught my attention especially: they stated that my photographs had a painting like feel to them. I thought that this was interesting because I usually always concentrate on sharp and highly detailed images. But none the less I went [...]
