Spring Sunrise Class is GO for 5.9.15

April 30, 2015

This just in: The spring Sunrise Scenes class is go, even though it starts at 5 AM!  It’s great fun to plan just where the sun will begin its daily arc, then set up to capture those long shadows. While a tripod or monopod isn’t required, either one will certainly be a great help, at least until the caffeine kicks in–YES, we will have coffee. Why be groggy by yourself? Ask a friend to join you.

Weekly Photo Tip

Take the center column away

A definite Sign of Spring.

If your tripod has a center column, you will want to remove it before getting down to photograph spring flowers. Even with a 100-180mm focal length macro lens, your tripod will be too far from the subject. There are two options: 1. purchase a tripod with a removable center column or 2. just purchase a tripod that never had a center column. Of these two choices, I’d opt for the first one.

About Jack

A classically trained musician since childhood, Jack Carlson always had the “ear” of an artist. It was only a short step to develop the artist’s “eye” as well.

The portfolio of this certified photographer reveals images that emphasize mood and composition. Their purpose is to present a feeling in addition to portrayal of person, place or thing. Sometimes that feeling is nostalgia; other times it is serenity.

Each photograph tells a story.
