Good Photos Don’t Come Easy
This past weekend we were able to escape to the awesome city of Duluth, MN and of course I was able to take some pictures. Now, most of the time I take some decent pictures and I feel pretty pleased with the results but sometimes there is that one picture that I just don’t know where it came from, is like BAM! a big slap on the face followed by a crotch kick, you get the point.
Honestly I think it’s all luck, like many awesome photos, it’s all about being in the right place at the right time and pressing that button on the right moment.
For a while I’ve been entertaining the idea of overexposed pictures, now, overexposure is not something you want in your pictures and to use it as a technique it’s a gamble, the picture will either turn out really good or just one big crap. By no means I think I’ve conquered the technique, I don’t think I’m able to pull it off at will but somehow the picture above turned out just the way I wanted with no intention whatsoever. A little tweak here and there…voila! my best picture ever.
I also been playing with bokeh and out-of-focus pictures. Again, I’m pretty pleased with the results but nothing like that overexposed picture…not yet. Check out my best pictures of the month so far in the album below or visit my flickr page
