...My Outdoor Photography Studio

We have the equipment and the motivation but the location and subject are eluding us. We make up excuses
in our head as to why we can't travel that far today or the light won't be right for the lake/shore. We have decided to take our camera out on a whim, with no ready made scenarios, and now we are struggling to actually think of somewhere to go and something to photograph. Top

...Pricing Your Photographs

There is a way to come up with a base price for photographic work. It's actually quite simple, yet will
take some time to come to an accurate figure. Keep in mind that the base price varies considerably depending on the particular photographer's situation, not what the market will actually bear, although that does factor somewhat into the equation.

...Photographs That Sell

So, what is it about that winning picture that produced a sale? It may good lighting, it may be striking
content... but hey, all the pictures submitted were about the same topic, so eliminate that one. Let's face it, there could be a million reasons for the selection of that winner, but there isn't! The winning shot is unusual. It's different from the rest. It's got something the others just don't have. It's got oomph. It's got pizzazz. Call it what you will It's got that winning streak that just knocks spots of the competition. It has? Well what the heck is it? Tell me and we'll bottle it.

email is always the same... "You have no idea how Outdoor Eyes has helped me". And they were not referring to photography or outdoor adventure. They were referring to life's ups and downs. I was with my cousin and her husband a couple of days ago and we were discussing their past tragedy. For many years, their young son had a drug problem and no matter how much love and devotion was given to their son, drugs finally took the life of their son. They both could have let it stop there and not make any meaning to their son's life. But they couldn't, so they started writing a book. And now, they also get countless letters and email saying the same... "You have no idea how much your book has helped me". It is truly amazing that an idea will have an impact on people's lives that you don't even know. You don't ever think about it, it just happens. And when it does... it's worth all the effort. The power of text is very powerful indeed.
to the Diesel Hut, our base camp, after an unsuccessful summit attempt. High winds, poor visibility and horizontal hail at 5,000 meters had forced their retreat. Nothing new, no one had summitted in the past month. I rolled over in my sleeping bag, slightly dejected. We had spent a week
acclimatizing, and were running out of time. If the weather didn't improve in the next two days there would be no summit for us either.
some tips you can use with your editor to help those skies regain some of the natural color as color in the sky can save an image. The following tips will be for use with Adobe Photoshop. I am sure you can convert the names of the items and steps if you use another digital editing program.
background thump. I get frustrated that I can often do little about it. Digital photography brings yet more noise into our lives, BUT this time I can take full control and tame the speckled beast trying to embed itself into my images. I use two weapons in my fight against digital noise.
