Learning Lightroom

Original: 

Edited Version:

The challenged I faced was making the colors pop but still look natural. The best thing I have found is to walk way from the photos and come back later. Then take a side by side comparison of the original and the edited one to see if the changes made were all necessary and if it needs anything else. I like the way the trees look in the edited picture and how the water turned out. It was a photo from my iPhone so I am happy with how it turned out in the end.

Macro Vision

This article helps describe when, where, and how to shoot macro photography. This type of photography takes a decent amount of time and lots of patients to master. But if you have a limitation of time or a budget this kind of photography might be the best choice for you. During the different seasons the photographer can capture many different types of moments. This creating an endless amount of options to photograph.

With macro vision the subjects are typically changing from month to month and every year could produce a different subject. Through capturing flowers, plants, and live subjects there is many different ways to capture these moments and interactions throughout the year. This can be done in parks, forests, or even your own back yard. It does not take much to be able to photograph these moments. As Mike talks further he goes into detail about specific issues and ways to go about this type of photography. To me it is very advanced, I am still trying to learn my lightroom and taking clear and well thought out images.

How to Photograph the Milky Way

In this article written by Adam Woodworth from Outdoor Photographer he describes how to properly photograph the Milky Way. He first talks about about when to best time to capture the Milky Way is. He then talks about the gear that is needed to make this possible. You can not just grab any camera and take a picture into the night sky and expect to get a great image. It takes a lot of skills and technique. Then the most important thing after all of the prep work is to get the right set up and camera settings. The photographer is going to have to have a long exposure time and the camera has to be set in a solid position for the best possible picture.
