Vlog: A Week In The Life
I'm trying something new in 2018 - a vlog. I'm enjoying making videos more and more, and there are some photo topics that don't always fit well into my weekly In The Field and In Post videos. So... I'll give a video log a whirl.
This first one is a set of snippets from a typical photo week for me. Think of it as a peek into what I do to create my content and photo work.
And rest assured - In The Field and In Post will continue, business as usual. I'll see you again tomorrow with a fresh ITF video.
Photography is ultimately about the photos. The software used to make them are our tools. I am often what photo software I use. To answer that… I need to give you a brief history of my photo software journey.
In my Live Edit videos, I process a photo I’ve never worked on before from start to finish. The bumps, missteps, and switchbacks are all part of the learning.
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.
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.

He also can't help getting his feet wet photographing at the beach.
How fast are my photo edits? Turtle slow... and I've got reasons for that
