Cold Light, Warm Background: A Practical Guide to Light Temperature Contrast
Waterfalls, ice formations, and snowfields share a common photographic challenge: they’re naturally lit by the sky, which means cool, blue-shifted light dominates. Without correction, your waterfall looks gray and lifeless in photos even if it felt magical to stand beside. But those same cool tones can become a powerful compositional tool when paired deliberately with warmer elements in the…
Why Blue Hour and Golden Hour Work Together (And When to Break the Rule)
Every photographer knows golden hour—the soft, warm light that paints everything in honey tones just after sunrise or before sunset. Blue hour gets less love, but it’s the other half of the same coin: that brief window before sunrise or after sunset when the sky turns a rich, saturated blue and artificial lights begin to glow. Understanding how these two hours interact—and when to break from…
The Rule of Inverse Light Temperatures: Make Your Subjects Pop
When you pair a subject bathed in cool, blue-shifted light with a warm-toned background—or vice versa—you create an immediate, visceral separation that draws the eye. Photographers call this the rule of inverse light temperatures, and once you see it, you’ll start noticing it everywhere: in portraits lit by a tungsten bulb against a twilight sky, in landscape shots where a snowfield reflects the…
Snow, Elk, and Mountain Memories: Rediscovering Colorado in Winter
There are some places in this world that get under your skin — places that you carry with you long after you’ve left, tucked away somewhere between memory and longing. For me, Colorado is one of those places. And when a recent business trip brought me back to Denver, I realized just how deeply that state had woven itself into my soul. The trip was work — meetings, presentations, the usual parade…

The Aggie Barn
The Aggie Barn Under the Stars in Reagan Texas
A Brief History
The Aggie Barn located off of Highway 6 in Reagan, TX has become a landmark know to many students and former students at Texas A&M. As a student, we knew when heading to College Station from the north that we were almost there when we saw the Maroon and White barn greeting us back to Aggieland.

The Rioter's Fallacy
The Rioter's Fallacy _ What is really going on when we see protestors getting in the face of police officers taunting them.
Join Fluffyshotme Photography in showing support for our country’s law enforcement officers.
In the recent weeks, we have all witnessed protestors and rioters pushing the narrative of ACAB (All Cops Are Bastards.) This ACAB movement is built on the belief that police regularly abuse their authority and these people are standing up to show they are no longer afraid of their oppressors;…

Understanding a Black Swan Attack
Understanding a Black Swan Attack
There are times in our lives where we just don’t have an explanation for what just happened and we are just left in shock and horror. Now, is one of those times for me.
The etiology of the term Black Swan comes from the latin phrase, “rara avis in terris nigroque simillima cygno” (“a rare bird in the lands and very much like a black swan”) written by the 2nd century Roman poet Juvenal. When…

Fluffyshotme Sticker for my Sweden Trip Business Cards or a Sticker?
Recently while planning to a trip to Sweden, I ran across an ad for stickers. I started thinking to myself, “Who doesn’t like stickers?” So I decided to design a sticker for the trip and hand them out along the way in addition to my business cards.
This gave way to a fun experiment – Asking people if they would prefer…

That week, I decided to invite anyone from my photography group on Facebook if they wanted to go on this grueling trek across the great State of Texas. One…

Our mission trip concentrated on facilitating pastoral training for some of the local ministers in the area. Once we had completed the work of our mission trip, we headed down…
