Seattle Architectural & Real Estate Photographer:

Today's article will cover shooting in Low Light. Don't be afraid of the dark: I hear it all the time; "Do you want me to turn a light on?" Nope. "Do you need more light in here?". Nope. "Is the atomic weight of cobalt 87?". Also nope (it's 58.93, but I digress). Chances are good you don't need ...

I'm about to send you to a site beyond your wildest photographic dreams. No, no...not my site. That's more like an odd nightmare caused by a gas bubble during a cat nap. I'm talking about http://www.photo.net Photo.net is going to expand on that effort and more. It's simply an amazing site. Actu...

Today's article will be about safety considerations and your rights (both as a photographer and a subject).

Today's article will cover B&W Conversion and Toning. BTW, I don't have a lot of time today as I'm prepping for the John L. Scott convention tomorrow.

They remind me of the cross posting I'm seeing a lot of, here on AR. What's cross posting you ask? That's when you post your blog to every dang list yo...

Today's Blog will cover example of Boke. By the way, this is intended to build on Cheryl's very well put together description of DOF (depth of field). I suggest you take a peek at it before reading this unless you already feel you have a pretty good grasp of it. Boke is the out of focus properti...

I'm going to help you be a better photographer today. In fact, by the time you are finished reading this one blog you are going to be armed with one of the best tools I know of.  I'm talking about an understanding of proportion. Specifically the Rule of Thirds, and for my advanced students - the...

Have you hugged your business plan lately? Taken out out for a nice meal? Sat down an really talked? Here's an excerpt from a recent conversation I had with mine: Me: So...how are things going? BP: Oh, you know...things are good. Me: Yeah? BP: Yeah we billed out a pretty good chunk of change las...

Today's article is going to cover Lenses (for those of you wondering about the dynamic range two parter, I plan to sneak over to one of my clients homes being held open and actually walk through the solutions within the same room. Yay, a field trip! - that will be later however). I'm going to ta...
