So if you’ve been following my blog, you know I taught my first workshop a few weeks ago. Some other random thoughts of the workshop would be my extreme lack of sleep the night before,the apprehension, the nausea, but the most memorable would be my beautiful model Sara. And if you’ve followed this blog for awhile, you know she’s all over it. Hey, I can’t help it, she’s gorgeous!

Spending time with other photographers, I quickly realized I shoot for post. I can frame a picture fine, even get the lighting right. And yes, my ‘eye’ plays a major role in how/when/where/what I point my camera at. But when I take a pictures, and say maybe the exposure isn’t right, the shadows are horrible, it’s just a bad picture, I always play with it in Lightroom first before deleting it. I know maybe if I could just fix this tiny thing in LR, then I could put this effect on it, to make it look like this or that. Even blurry pictures sometimes are salvageable to me. There’s lots of glooowy effects you can throw on top of them to make it look like it was on purpose. I observed the other photographers, making sure all their settings where right before shooting, while I was there, click, click, click, click. Maybe I need to take a page from the pros books, and maybe they need to take a page from mine.

I just know I enjoy taking pictures, ALOT. And I love editing them to give them that extra artsy SNAP.
