Do you take shortcuts? – this is for all of us that do not shoot everyday. If that is you I am curious if you tend to take shortcuts when shooting. If that is time or set or props or not paying for models or whatever you might do or not even realize you might do…
Trying to enjoy a few minutes to re-edit a few older shots…
I need a month off from my week off.. I guess that is what happens when you take no time off all year and then only get a week based on all your employees going out at very strategic times… or as I like to call it General Manager Murphy's Law….I will be trying to up my game in 2013 based on what I have learned here on G+ and the fact if your going to mess around with photography why not make it better each time…. I have lacked any drive and I think many non "professionals" that do not do it lately can easily get pulled into short cuts… I am sure I will still take many… and it is better to get any shot than the perfect shot, but I sure would like to try to get more perfect shots….
To all the great people I have met here and have forced me (even thou they might not even know) to rethink what I do and to try to push myself a bit more in all aspects of what I do.. thank you…
Here are just a few:
+Trey Ratcliff +Thomas Hawk +Colby Brown +Sandra Parlow +Mike Spinak +Jim Davis +Karen Hutton +Frederick Van Johnson +Sharon Strandskov +J. Rae Chip +Scott Bourne +Scott Jarvie +Brent Fishman +Olav Folland (He should be trending) +Catherine Hall
+Serge Yurovsky +Victor Bezrukov +David Shimabukuro +Jay Patel +Chris Chabot +Frank Doorhof +Lexy Page +Danny De La Cruz +Keith Barrett +Elizabeth Hahn +Doug Kaye +Eric James Leffler +Ricardo Williams +Peter Adams +Ariston Collander +Ron Clifford +Dan Carr +Christopher JayTo all those I know I will miss.. thanks
And maybe most important to all the Googlers that made G+ a very cool part of my life for the past year please keep up the great work and the changes… we actually love them even thou we "give suggestions" ie: complain…
+Brian Rose +Natalie Villalobos +Vic Gundotra and the 99 others I follow in my circle of Googlers… Keep rocking it in 2013…..
Good wishes for you in the new year and always +Brent Burzycki
I know what you mean. I know where I want my photography to be, but I cannot bring myself to release my pics into the wild until I am satisfied that I have done it perfectly, and that has to change. I think 2013 is going to be the year when it will.
+Brent Burzycki Thank you too for all the amazing and inspiring posts. I shoot full time and so often find myself without enough time to sit back and enjoy G+ and FB. However when I do log on, I always check your pages out right away. Keep up the great work and have an amazing 2013! All the best!
