We returned from our sunset shoot at First Encounter Beach to an envelope left on our bed that was titled, “Jedi Photographers.” As you might remember, we are now Jedi photographers – so says Yoda and my mom. We were given a challenging first mission even though we are new to this realm. We opened…
Search for Yoda
When you think of Cape Cod, what comes to mind? Is it endless walks along sandy beaches? Maybe kids playing in the ocean surf? Could it be a picturesque fishing village? Or boats moored in the mist? And definitely, crowds and crowds of tourists! Today, we had none of that. Instead, we spent the day in…
Sudbury Safari?
It’s Sunday morning. The temperature is cool. There is nice breeze, and we are a bit tired of packing up our condo. So, we grabbed our cameras and headed out for a walk at a couple of spots in Sudbury, MA. We wanted to shoot (that is, photograph) critters, specifically turtles, but we were open to whatever crossed our…
A Morning Walk
It was our anniversary the other day. The weather was exquisite. Up early and coffeed up, we were raring to go. So what do two photographers do under these conditions? We go out on a photo shoot! We decided to go to one of our favorite shooting locations near our home in Massachusetts, Tower Hill Botanic…
A little bit of Luck – PIC of the Week
Capturing fall color takes a bit of luck. The luck is having the colors where you hope to shoot when you hope to shoot them. A trip to the Historical Wayside Inn area was timed perfectly. The colors were just coming into their fullness, and the early morning light only served to enhance the color. As…
Is Brimfield for you?
Three times a year the Brimfield Antiques Fair comes to Brimfield, MA. Acres and acres of ordinary fields are converted into one of the largest antique and collectables shows in the U.S. hosting over 5,000 dealers. Each time I look forward to spending a day poking around and visiting with my sister – who knows what…
The One Shot Deal
What if you only had one opportunity to capture the perfect photo? When you take a photo with a digital camera or with your phone, do you ever take just one photo? Or do you take a couple of shots – just in case one doesn’t turn out? As a perfectionist, I tend to take…
Shooting People
I really enjoy photographing people, especially their faces. Taking a picture of a face sounds easy. Point your camera at the face and press the shutter release. Presto, a photo of a face. Feel free to keep doing this and you will get disappointing results. On the other hand, I am going to present you…
Out of the boot and into the flowers
You may have noticed that we have not posted for a while. We could say that we’ve been busy – heck, we moved and that counts, doesn’t it? But alas, that is not the reason. Instead, it was Jeff ’s sore foot that turned out to be a stress fracture. Good news, after four weeks,…
A Sunday Morning Shoot
My shooting finger was getting itchy since my last kill on Thanksgiving morning. Always looking for an opportunity to shoot, we spotted a grove of trees with lichen all over the trunks. It was pouring as we drove by, OK, raining, but too wet to shoot. Didn’t have my camera either. The trunks looked fantastic with the…
