"Mama, now is NOT the time to be taking photos."

Image
I find it amazing that my 3.5-year-old tolerates me shooting him constantly. When he begs to go outside because the other children are riding their bicycles, I make a deal with him, "If you let Mama shoot you, you can go outside and ride bikes." "Okay!" We both jumped to get our equipment: him - his retro red and white tricycle with tassel handlebars, and me - my Nikon D80 with 70-200 f/2.8.  We both hustled outside before the sun when down - a great time to photograph children. He rode like he hadn't just told me he was "so tired, Mama," circling the courtyard until he couldn't take it anymore, grabbing for the tag in his shirt and popping in his thumb, all while trying to maintain peddling speed. After 20 minutes of his on-and-off tag grabbing, I said, "Peanut, we should go in - you're exhausted." His tricycle hit the grass and he looked at me in frustration and said, "Mama, this is no time to be taking photos, please pus...

Fall Family of Five

Image
On the eastern end of Long Island is a wide assortment of parks, camp grounds and golf courses. Many photographers collect in popular locations with wheelbarrows of props for fall sessions, maneuvering through paths and foliage to get to the best locations where they photograph their clients. I don’t have props. While I love the look of some of the images that result from creative additives, I’ve been fortunate enough to have families that know how to both dress and pose themselves in order to be the center of attention. This family was such a family. While situated in front of a beautifully soft rolling background of green autumn grass, this family posed in color coordinated - though not matching - clothing that both represented their personalities as well as set them apart from the typical family. I wish I could hire this mom to give you all tips on your next session! I’ve never seen pink work so well in a fall setting, and I would love to pick her brain on what her thought proce...

Color Correcting

Image
Amanda , originally uploaded by PhotoGraphicGirl . Clearly you'll know you've been doing a little too much color correcting when you walk outside for lunch and the world looks too blue. During my leadership as the organizer of the Long Island Photography Meetup, I heard a lot of photographers say, "I don't worry about the white balance, I just fix it later in Camera Raw / Lightroom / Photoshop. At the time I thought, "Oh, ok that's cool." But after one brief, nerve wracking lesson with a professional shooter friend of mine, I'm now leaning toward, "That's so NOT the way to think." The other day an awesome photographer friend of mine said, "Stop being lazy." I'm not sure if he realized he said it, because it was in the middle of some other juicy tidbits of knowledge that he was imparting upon me, but it stuck. It stuck because I knew he was right. I was being lazy. And up until that point I was being lazy about white balance...
