| Vermont Fall Foliage workshop sale! |
| |
The workshop is in the beautiful town of Woodstock, annually recognized as one of the prettiest towns in America. I run the workshop from my Woodstock home and I have spent years scouring Vermont's backroads to find special places to photograph. There isn't a more magnificent place than Vermont when the maple trees shed their green to reveal brilliant red and orange colors.
We'll spend five days together and it all starts with my world famous fun but mediocre spaghetti dinner. My cooking is average at best but I sure do know where to go in Vermont to find spectacular beauty!
I hope to see you in Vermont!

| I’ve discovered over the years that when I am in a situation where I know there is a good photo and I’m not making the image I should, there is one of two things going on. It usually means something else going on in my head and I’m not thinking clearly enough to be creative and translate what I am seeing into something in the camera. Fixing that is tough but I usually have an honest, hard profanity laced chat with myself while hoping people around me don’t hear the conversation.
If I’m still not getting the shot after punching myself in the face, then I’m probably using the wrong lens. I see an awful lot of photographers worrying about aperture and shutter speed, that is rarely the problem. If you choose wrong with those two it is apparent immediately and you try a different setting. But thinking about how the lens is affecting the shot is something that takes more effort and gives the photographer greater control over the image’s outcome. Creatively using a wide angle lens is one of the best ways to make a very strong center of interest and give a photo a sense of depth. And a long telephoto can compress a scene and make objects feel closer together. While in Iceland I use a wide angle to accentuate the church in the foreground while the background diminished off into the distance. When I switched lenses and put on a 200mm, I pulled the mountains closer to the church which put more emphasis on the background. They were shot with the same aperture and shutter speed but look vastly difference because of lens selection. Which one is best? That depends on what I’m saying with the final image. I did a seminar on lens selection, click here to watch the video.
