A
mix of images and subjects to whet your appetite to go out and shoot
something today! Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
1 whole camera with fresh batteries
1 - 1 to 8 GB flashcard
1 polarizing filter
3-legged tripod or, if you prefer, 1 monopod
Pack
up everything, head out, and stir around until you find some great
lighting. Then, find a subject in that lighting*. Compose the
image. Place camera on tripod. Take at 100 to 400 ISO until done.
After shooting, upload images to computer and serve hot.
*Professional
photographer Bill Lea says for years he would pick a subject and
shoot it in the best possible light. Then, one day he made a change.
He went out searching for good lighting and picked a subject in
that light. That transformed his photography, and he has been
“chasing the light” ever since. Visit Bill’s extraordinary,
exceptional photography at www.BillLea.com.

After
a business lunch in Newberry this past June, I struck out cross-country
towards Greenwood, scouting for something to shoot — perhaps
some hay rolls in a field. I drove through the small town of Silverstreet
heading west on Hwy 34. A couple miles out, this guy in the orange
shirt passed by going in the opposite direction on the bicycle.
He looked like he had a destination in mind. I hadn’t seen
one hay roll yet or anything else worth stopping for. Something
about this guy and the bike caught my attention. I turned around
and caught up with him. His name was Larry. “Larry, I do some
photography and I’m looking for hay rolls or anything to shoot,
but I don’t see a thing out here — except you!”
“You want to shoot me?” he exclaimed.
“Why not?” I said, and we set up a quick one at the edge
of this golden field. Three frames — this last one with a touch
of fill flash, and that was that. Larry mounted up and headed on
to work. I resumed the drive toward Greenwood. Later that evening,
I thought about what a nice day it had been.
