5 Tips From The Acadia Workshop
Last week I hosted a great group of photographers in Acadia National Park. After each workshop I like to reflect and consider the things we focused on and the realizations we had. In this video I recap the workshop and share 5 tips and observations from a week in Maine.
Target glow looks to brighter areas of a photo, such as foliage in sunlight
Crops are powerful and can dramatically refine an image
Pay attention to smaller details and micro-landscapes
Strive for element separation in a scene
Sturdy tripods are well worth carrying
The video mentions a few other posts I have about glow looks. You can read and watch more here:

Test your own filters for a color cast. All you need is a reference point and consistent lighting.
I get asked about my tripod spikes all the time. Finally another company is making a set like the ones I have.
Calibrating your monitor and printer can be a bit of a hassle. And you need equipment for it. Is it really necessary?
Not all printer drivers are created equal. You could be missing out on important controls and settings for your photo prints.
I use the X-Rite i1 Studio to color calibrate my monitor and printer. The dial on the device may be a little difficult to rotate. I’ll show you the simple trick I use to make it easy.
A seascape outing usually results in a lot of photos of a few compositions. Culling is critical to keep the working set of photos manageable.
Image theft happens… and it sucks. I use Pixsy to help me find potential infringements on my work. I’ll show you the basics of what I look for when I review matches found by the service.
Scott Davenport is a landscape photographer and photo educator and based in San Diego, California. He leads photo workshops, writes photo books, hosts podcasts, makes tutorial videos, and feels weird referring to himself in the 3rd person.
He also can't help getting his feet wet photographing at the beach.
Finding several unique images within your existing photo is a great way to grow your eye for composition. You might have new, compelling photos hiding in plain sight.
