We all know that weather predictions can be—shall we say—a little less than accurate. In fact, I’m sure we’ve all heard (or made) jokes about how inaccurate weather predictions seem to be, with many theories about the arbitrary ways meteorologists must go about predicting the weather. I’m wrapped up with… read moreJune 23 2009
Sunshine can be so exhilarating after a few days of overcast, rain, watching the sky, and obsessing over weather forecasts to see when you’ll get some better weather for photography. Last night the forecast called for a lot of cloud cover this morning, but when I woke up and looked… read moreJune 22 2009
Part of any photo excursion is dealing with environmental conditions as they change. The Palouse region of eastern Washington state is known as an arid region, getting an average of just under 20 inches of rain each year. That compares to an average of about 37 inches per year for… read moreJune 21 2009
I love photographing while scouting for great locations much more than going somewhere I already know will be good. There’s so much more adventure when you don’t know what to expect, and I love the joy of discovering great subjects and locations that are new to me. I’m in the Palouse… read moreJune 05 2009
I was sitting on my couch reading, trying to ignore the uncomfortable heat. It was about 9pm, the sun had just set, and the sky was turning an incredible pink, but somehow I wasn’t inspired to go outside. I think the head had stifled me and convinced me that staying… read moreMay 06 2009
As a photographer, I’m sure you’ve experienced this. You’re in an unfamiliar place, perhaps photographing or just attending an event, and you meet another photographer. There’s an immediate bond and connection. The conversation flows freely. There’s a sense of camaraderie. I’ve had an experience like this on many occasions. In several… read moreNo More Something for Nothing?

I got an email the other day letting me know about a change in the terms of service for the Kodak Gallery. The bottom line: no more free photo storage if you don’t spend money. Of course, there’s no shortage of websites that allow you to store your photos at no… read moreMarch 01 2009
I can’t even fathom going on any trip — even a business trip — without a camera. In some extreme cases I’ll just take my point-and-shoot digital camera along with me, but whenever possible (which is most trips) I’ll bring my digital SLR along as well. A tripod, however, can be… read moreFebruary 16 2009
It is interesting to me how often I find myself taking a photograph of something interesting without having any idea what it really is. This makes it all the more exciting when I discover at a later date exactly what I had been photographing in the first place. I had this… read moreJanuary 26 2009
I’ve been publishing my Digital Darkroom Questions (DDQ) email newsletter for over seven years now, and from time to time I’ve explored ways to bring new value without fixing what isn’t broken. I have resisted the urge to include images in the email for a variety of reasons. I’ve contemplated… read moreJanuary 20 2009
This week I’m teaching a five-day workshop at the Art Wolfe Digital Photography Center, and it happened to coincide with Inauguration Day. In fact, class was scheduled to start right about the time Barack Obama was to be sworn in. And would you believe every single student was there on… read moreJanuary 16 2009
There’s a weird time warp that happens when you write magazine articles. You get an assignment, and of course wait until the last minute to fulfil it, so there’s a bit of a lag there. Then you submit the article, and it is generally at least a couple months before… read moreJanuary 16 2009

I love applying targeted adjustments to my images via layer masks and adjustment layers, and quite often those targeted adjustments start with a selection. That’s why I often spend about a full day out of a typical five-day workshop teaching a variety of ways to create selections. Of course, quite… read moreDecember 28 2008
