Week #25 - Reflection - Challenge End

Week #25 – Reflection – Challenge End

This week will be the final week of the “Weekly Photo Challenge.” Originally I wanted this to be a year long challenge but I have came to realize that producing a weekly video as I have been is not really teaching much. My plan was to instruct and challenge. The videos lately have been nothing more than a challenge to go out and take photos and that does not really require a video. So what’s next?

Week #24 - Ten Angles - Photo Challenge

Week #24 – Ten Angles – Photo Challenge

The images you capture are only as good as your perspective. All the technical photography knowledge in the world can not replace having perspective. This challenge of capturing Ten Angles of something will force you to look at something from different angles. If you have ever wondered why what you saw did not translate well into a photo, capturing ten angles will help you find what it was that…

Week #22 - Sports Photography - Photo Challenge

Week #22 – Sports Photography – Photo Challenge

Early on in my photography career I turned to sports to teach me how to be fast on my feet. As a wedding photographer I knew that I needed to be able to react to my environment quickly to assure I never missed the shot. Over the years I have been able to photograph several sports I enjoy being a fan of.

Part of truly Ditching Auto is understanding your camera settings to the point they become…

Week #19 - Still Life Photography - Photo Challenge

Week #19 – Still Life Photography – Photo Challenge

Still Life Photography has always been an interest of mine because I get to use photography to capture the objects around me. We use Still Life Photography often on social media to showcase things in our life such as food. It is the photographing of objects arranged in a way that is appealing to the eye. Still Life as an artistic style is often used to teach lighting and depth.

This week, you can…

Week #18 - Portrait Photography - Photo Challenge

Week #18 – Portrait Photography – Photo Challenge

Most of my photography career has been in the portrait space. As a wedding photographer, you have to be a good portrait photographer. I have since expanded in many directions with my photography, but I have found that being able to capture a good portrait of a person is a different challenge that most other types of photography.

This week I am challenging you to capture a portrait of someone.…
