Reducing Depth of Field

It is the goal of every photographer to make that perfect picture. Getting that perfect picture is a result of good field technique and good post processing technique. Having skill and knowledge in both is what it’s necessary to bring out the best in every image.

I almost loved this image as it was captured in the camera. But I wasn’t 100% satisfied. I felt the background was a bit too distracting. Watch the video to see how I remedied the problem.

Practicing patience

"Patience is the art of hoping."  Luc de Clapiers

There are times when I am out photographing that I have to force myself to be patient. About a month ago, I was coming back from my morning kayak and getting close to the location where I get out of the water, when I spotted this Snowy Egret. I hadn’t spent much time being close to a Snowy in a while, so I diverted my direction and headed towards the bird. At first the bird was not in very good light, I almost left the area, but I saw it was heading to a more interesting spot, so I decided to sit and wait. As usual, whenever I am sitting and watching animals, I engage them in conversation. I was telling the egret how beautiful it was and asking it to meander a bit to my left so it could get in better light...See more images and read the rest of the story below.
