Long distance motorcycle riders willingly expose themselves to inconvenience, discomforts and dangers that are not factors in the lives of other travelers. It’s simply part of the game…a part that makes the pursuit particularly appealing to me. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. I take a certain amount of pride in taking on challenges that most folks would never consider.
Machine learning is what it’s all about when talking about AI in wedding photography. Right now you probably have developed your own signature style of photography. It starts before the moment of image capture and is finalized in your post production editing, enhancing and retouching.
We’ve already discussed the necessity of using slow/long shutter speeds to create flowing water effects in your images. In order to give moving water that silky, flowing appearance we must record its movement over a period of time through a background that remains still.
The best lens for travel photography…or any genre of photography at all…is not necessarily the most expensive. In fact our choice for the title goes to one of the most affordable lenses on the market.
In a previous post I discussed the importance of getting a proper exposure in the camera. This is paramount to being able to effectively utilize Lightroom and Photoshop editing techniques. The Nikon Z6II is an incredible imaging device. It has the greatest dynamic range of any camera I’ve had the pleasure of using in more than four decades of pursuing photography.
One of the beautiful things about riding divided highways is the absence of conventional intersections. Gone are the hazards of vehicles pulling out in front of you from driveways and side streets. Absent is the potential for oncoming traffic making a left turn in front of you.
The most important trait one must possess is enthusiasm; no matter what pursuits you undertake in life. It has been said that “Men have been racing automobiles ever since they made the first one”. I’ve been around muscle cars and sports cars since I first got my driver’s license at age 16. Fifty years later I’m still drawn to the allure of horsepower and speed.
Today’s digital cameras are sheer technological wonders. They are basically little computers attached to a lens. The public keeps screaming for more and more features and the camera manufacturers keep delivering. The potential to flawlessly record whatever scene is in front of you is already here.
Photoshop is not a Band-Aid for poor photographic technique. The camera original RAW image needs to be as perfect as possible. This means no severely overexposed highlights and no seriously underexposed shadow areas.
As digital artists we have incredible software tools at our disposal. They enable us to to create the images that formerly existed only in our minds.
