Today Allison called me into the living room to watch a short segment on Rachel Rays talk show. She had Mark Steines the show to talk about his family Christmas photo. We got to see how he took the photos of his family. The guy is a decent photographer. The segment showed some of the things that he does to get some great photos of his kids.
Here is a link to Mark’s Photography tips from his segment on the Rachel Ray show. There are some great ones. I will certainly be incorporating them into my photography.
I certainly have a greater respect for those people who can shoot photos of birds. These buggers have been all over the back yard and then to the front yard and they buzzed all over the place. This was the best one I could get. One bird was in our large Christmas tree int he front yard and popped its head out of the branches for an iconic photo. Then within a second it was gone. No way I could have gotten that one in time.
So instead I went after slower subjects, like this Rhododendron.
