Tundra Swans. Pocosin Lakes NWR, NC

 

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of assisting Juan Pons at his “Geese, Swans and Bears” photo workshop in North Carolina. Birds are not a frequent subject of mine, but I always jump at the chance to learn something new.

As photographers, we tend to concentrate our efforts on learning one particular type of photography. It could be wildlife, portraits, landscapes or any number of other disciplines. It’s great to develop a personal style and hone your skills in a specific area, but sometimes it’s good to make pictures that are outside of your area of expertise.

Pons http://www.outdoorphotogear.com/blog/?p=347 [/caption] I am a realist, at least I used to be. By realist, I mean that I like to portray my subjects as they are in real life, with as little embellishment and alteration as possible. I think this changed when I recently received a Lensbaby Composer for testing. I have to be honest and say that at first I was a little skeptical. Yes I have seen examples of images taken with Lensbabies in the past and I always thought that they were interesting, but not really my thing.]]> http://www.outdoorphotogear.com/blog/lensbaby-composer-mini-review-347/feed 0
