The first time I photographed “love locks” I had no idea what I was photographing. I was in Florence (nee, Firenze), Italy, near the Ponte Vecchio, when I noticed a considerable number of locks attached to a fence. I had … Continue reading → read moreFebruary 01 2012
Some of you may have noticed that a blog post I published yesterday vanished into thin air. That’s not something I would normally do, but this time I think it was warranted. In that blog post I talked about photographing … Continue reading → read moreFebruary 01 2012
One of my favorite things in photography is being able to spend some time with a subject and try a variety of different positions, settings, techniques, and more to try to interpret the scene in unique ways. I had exactly … Continue reading → read moreJanuary 26 2012
When you want a dog to head your way, you would typically say something like, “Here, boy!”. When you want a cat to come in for the night, you’re likely to sing the refrain, “Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!”. But what … Continue reading → read moreJanuary 25 2012
I sometimes get accused of being high-maintenance. But I’m just particular! And this, of course, extends to my photography. One of the things I generally strive for (though not always) when composing a photograph is simplicity. I tend to focus … Continue reading → read moreJanuary 24 2012
Have you ever had one of those moments where you have the camera up to your face, your eye focused through the viewfinder, and you’re just not sure what to focus on? No, I’ve never had that happen to me … Continue reading → read moreJanuary 19 2012
I’m sure it comes to no surprise to anyone in the digital photography industry that Eastman Kodak has filed for bankruptcy. Kodak is a company founded in 1888 that became the iconic brand in photography for professionals and amateurs alike. … Continue reading → read moreJanuary 13 2012
I’m very happy to be returning to Maine again this summer, to teach another workshop at Maine Media Workshops. I’ll be teaching a unique workshop called “Lightroom Photo Project Workshop“, which I think will prove to provide a fun learning … Continue reading → read moreJanuary 13 2012
As I mentioned in a recent blog post, I recently got my Canon EOS 7D back from Canon Professional Services. I had apparently worn out the shutter mechanism (a combination of lots of photos and perhaps too much Live View … Continue reading → read moreJanuary 12 2012
As I wrote in an earlier blog post, I recently had the opportunity to check out the Lytro “light field camera” at the Wired Store 2011 in Times Square in Manhattan. At the time I didn’t have enough time after … Continue reading → read moreJanuary 10 2012
I’m delighted to report that my Canon EOS 7D has returned home, after a thankfully brief visit with Canon Professional Services. There had been hints of a problem with the shutter on this camera for a while. At first, those … Continue reading → read moreJanuary 09 2012
Photographers are, obviously, visual people. As such, I’ve heard many photographers express a visceral fear of losing their sense of vision. I too have expressed this fear on numerous occasions. I recently had an opportunity to face this fear, though … Continue reading → read moreDecember 28 2011
As a photographer, I’m sure you’ve heard no shortage of advice on the particular equipment you should purchase and keep in your camera bag. If you listened to all that advice, your wallet would be a lot lighter and your … Continue reading → read morePhotographing in the Guggenheim!
December 21 2011
I recently visited the Solomon R. Guggenheim museum to explore the “Maurizio Cattelan: All” exhibit. I knew from past visits that photography was only allowed from the ground floor, which isn’t all that helpful considering the artwork is displayed along … Continue reading → read moreDecember 18 2011
I’m very pleased to announce my latest video training title, “Mastering Macro Photography: Learn by Video“, is now available. Produced by my friends at video2brain, this title features 2.5 hours of video instruction in high-definition. In the video lessons included … Continue reading → read moreDecember 17 2011
As I was walking past Rockefeller Center today, I decided perhaps I should go check out the tree and try my luck at a little photography, despite only having my iPhone with me. Not my brightest creative moment. You see, … Continue reading → read moreDecember 14 2011
Today I had the opportunity to check out the not-yet-shipping “light field camera” from Lytro, which was being presented today at the WIRED Store 2011 in Times Square. The technology behind the Lytro camera is pretty cool. Imagine being able … Continue reading → read moreDecember 12 2011
While I was in Austria recently recording more video training titles with video2brain, I had the opportunity to spend a little time on a brief road trip, and along the way I stopped in Venice in part to check out … Continue reading → read moreDecember 08 2011
Monopods are often thought of as a tool only suited for sports photographers, but the reality is a monopod can be very helpful in many different situations. One common situation where a tripod can be helpful is when photographing from … Continue reading → read moreDecember 08 2011
I was at B&H Photo in New York last week, presenting a session on image cleanup in Photoshop. During the presentation I said something that I really don’t think the audience believed. But it was true! I showed them an … Continue reading → read moreDecember 07 2011
Sometimes photography is a “just because” endeavor. I wish this sort of “because” was always as impressive as George Mallory’s, “because it’s there” form of “because”, but the bottom line is that sometimes we take photographs just because something strikes … Continue reading → read moreDecember 05 2011
When I published an edition of my Ask Tim Grey email newsletter on the day before Thanksgiving, I figured many readers (at least in the US) were going to pass it by, being busy traveling or otherwise preparing for the … Continue reading → read moreDecember 01 2011
I find sunsets so fascinating from a photographic perspective. As photographers, we seem to take extra special notice of sunsets. And yet, while sunsets can be quite remarkable to observe, they often don’t translate into great photographs. I was reminded … Continue reading → read moreNovember 30 2011
I tend to chuckle a bit when I look back on my thoughts leading up to my first visit to Austria. I had been contacted by a good friend of mine who had started working for video2brain, asking if I’d … Continue reading → read moreThank You, Thank You, Thank You

I really mean it. Thank you so much. As I wrap up the festivities after a month-long celebration of ten years of the Ask Tim Grey email newsletter, I can’t help but feel thankful. So it seems especially appropriate that … Continue reading → read moreNovember 28 2011
When I’m speaking at events I often get asked how I manage to send out my Ask Tim Grey eNewsletter just about every weekday (an email newsletter that I’ve now been publishing for over ten years). I can’t say that … Continue reading → read moreNovember 04 2011
So I was at the Apple Store in the Meatpacking District of Manhattan a few days ago, getting an issue with my iPhone checked out and buying a few items, when I noticed what looked like a model of the … Continue reading → read more“Concept to Completion” Now Available
