Recently I have had more opportunities to get back to basics, photographically speaking anyway. I teach middle school students in a photography club and this allows me to force myself to work with one camera, one lens, no lights, and lots of creativity. It's refreshing to get away from the gear and get my head back in the artistry.
Sometimes nature doesn't even need me to be very creative, it has that down pat. I was out walking the dogs when this sunrise started to get interesting. I made a dash for the studio and my camera and made it just in time. This shot was taken right out in front of the studio, and yes having this for a view is something I exploit regularly!
What do these things have to do with each other? This shot was simply good photographic technique. No bells and whistles, no photoshop tricks. Just a glorious morning, a camera, and one happy photographer to be there to take a photo. Basics are good.
