Audio & Music Production
Many call music the universal language. When you think about it, it’s pretty accurate; it has it’s own written symbols, can be read, played, and spoken.

Film Photography
A common misconception that people have with photography is that you always need the best equipment to produce the best quality of pictures. This could not be a bigger myth. All you really need is you. The camera comes second. Great photography captivates the soul, and this can be done any way possible. The individual’s […]
Photographing Objects in Motion
Camera blur was one of the biggest issues that I had when first starting out with athletic photography. The people I was trying to photograph were moving so fast that I didn’t know how to focus on them for the smooth picture I wanted. Earlier in my blog, I’ve talked about the exposure triangle and […]

Black & White Photographs
Whether it’s been an old film seen in one’s leisure time or a book that was to be studied for class, we’ve all seen a photograph in black and white. Most, especially ones for the 20th century, probably have some deal of noise or grain in them. In classic motion picture art, color was not […]

First starting out as a blogger […]
Histograms in Photo-Editing Software
When editing your photos in Adobe Lightroom, Paintshop, etc., have you wondered what that graphed display is in the corner of your screen? What does it look so funky, and why does it mean every time I adjust my slider? That funky looking graph is the histogram, for whatever photograph you are developing on in […]
