HT2070 - Advice On a Great Place to Go
My experience with other photographers has been that they are generous and kind. They're always willing to give me helpful advice of where to go photographing. That advice, however, is typically the result of their having made successful images there. But the kinds of images I make, or want to make, might be entirely different than theirs. The same can be said about when to go.

HT2069 - The Composed Background
In every picture there exists a foreground and a background. To be more precise about this, there are the things you want your viewer to see, and there is the context against which the subject is seen. Our primary task in composing and processing is to direct the viewer to what we want them to see. The background/context has an incredibly important role in this. The best photographers compose the background as much as they possibly can.

HT2068 - On Abstractions
Abstracts are one of the most puzzling types of photography that fascinates me. Emotionally connecting with an abstract is rare, but so powerful, so unpredictable, so fickle.

HT2067 - Brevity Is the Soul
I know that Shakespeare was talking about the soul of wit, but I've come to conclude it is the soul of photography, too. At least it can be. How often do you look at a book or a project and wish there was more? As compare to, how many times to you find yourself looking at a project or a book and feeling like it is getting too long or repetitive?

LW1426 - More Captures, or More Artwork
I'm of the school of thought that when you've clicked the shutter and made another capture, you haven't made artwork, yet. So what will you do with this precious day, evening, hour? Do you need more captures? Or, would your time be better spent making a print or some other finished piece of art?

HT2066 - Way to Go, God
My friend Joe Lipka (who is a lifelong practicing Catholic) will often set up his tripod to capture a beautiful landscape with the words, "Way to go, God!" I've come to recognize this as a type of photography. No one would ever think this about a novel, a piece of music, a poem, or sculpture.

HT2065 - The Forgotten Ones
Buried in your Lightroom catalog are tons of images that deserve deeper attention. I have no doubt about this. I have faith that each time you click the shutter you do so because there was something that connected with you. That is, you've never clicked the shutter on a purposeful loser. Those potential images in your catalog have simply slipped out of mind.

HT2064 - Monitor Calibration
There have been a few times - - but only a few - - when a photographer we've published has been a bit disappointed in how their images looked in LensWork. In every case, it turns out that there was a monitor calibration issue on their end that was easily resolved. For critical work, the first step is always to calibrate your monitor, with hardware calibration if possible.

HT2063 - The Additive Process
The process of photographic composition is, by the nature of its mechanics, a subtractive process. What superfluous and distracting element can we remove from the framing? It can be useful, however, to reverse this and think of our composition as an additive process, like painters do.
