All in A Technical Focus
Inspired by the work in our quarterly gallery, I went to work on this series of photographs. Processing them reminded me that it was an exciting set of images to capture. In this article, I’ll share how I ended up shooting bark on this particular morning, and the equipment and technical approach I used.
Shooting at night takes me far outside of my comfort zone and provides unique and interesting challenges. The lack of sleep, the concentration on technique, the jumping at strange noises in the dark, all contribute to a powerful experience – one that I never regret.
My attraction to waterfalls has intensified significantly since I took on photography, as capturing their magic can prove to be a real and energizing challenge. I’ve taken many waterfall photos that have fallen flat, despite being technically well executed. I have learned that conveying the experience of a waterfall through a still image requires a story-telling attitude and patience.
