I am not usually one to get involved or jump on the bandwagon of riots over things that at most should only be peaceful demonstrations. I have responded to these types of actions many times in the past 19 years I have been involved in law enforcement as a reserve (A reserve does not get paid for their service to the public – IE: A Volunteer Officer or Deputy). I have seen it from both sides and I will tell you this much, the instigators in these groups are not there for any cause other than themselves. But after the stuff we have seen in the past two days in Oakland where outsiders once again take to the streets of oakland and cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage and lost business to "see justice" while burning the American flag I am sort of at my wits end with these types of people… so in discussing the issue this article came up which I find a very interesting read.. and at least in my opinion this guy deserves an award for stepping up and saying something… http://www.bondaction.org/content/article/37076/Black%20Racism%20killed%20Trayvon Very interesting viewpoints. I am not really one to agree […]

Good locations are hard to find… one trick is to look locally, we found this local bar and made a deal with the owner that we could use the location before they opened one day and all we had to do was provide him with a couple final images he could use for marketing the bar. Look locally and barter skills for location fees. But beware that in many cases you the photographer is liable for damages and injury when on scene at a location. Many of us get away with no issues daily but make sure if you are running your own business and using locations that you carry the proper insurance or at least know what issues you open yourself up too when shooting on location. I have many forms that models need to sign, Model Release – Liability Release – Copy of ID – Permission to use Pictures and a Property Release for the location owner to sign that shows how the area will be used. Sometimes the best investment in your photography business and career might be a consultation with an experienced photography / media lawyer to make sure you paperwork is in order in your […]

Pretty cool +Nicole S. Young Originally shared by +Nicole S. Young F-Stops Explained Through Animation I recently shared another animated GIF, showing the change in aperture from f/1.4 to f/22. I created this animation two years ago, just after +Google+ was born, and thought it was worth re-posting once again 🙂 The background in this shot is white string-lights … you can see them come into focus more and more as the aperture gets smaller. Camera Info:• Canon 7D• Canon 70-200mm f/4 IS lens (set to 200mm for maximum compression)

So i have been watching a show on KCSM called Wild Photo Adventures… His guest he had carried this gigantic 600mm lens into the most crazy locations.. Then he pulls out another camera 70-200 that he had slung somewhere…. And says.. Now that's a lot of gear to lug around.. And I wish it was me…
