Quotes<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Photography for me is a passion, a mixture of science and art that creates magic. If a day goes by without photography, it\u2019s incomplete.<\/em>“<\/span>\u00a0–\u00a0Scott MacQuarrie<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“The subject matter is so much more important than the photographer.<\/em>“<\/span>\u00a0–\u00a0Gordon Parks<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“I like to watch the person viewing my photographs to see if their eyes twinkle or cloud with tears. Does the smile sneek out when they were not exspecting it to. Then I know I have captured emotion that can be shared.<\/em>“<\/span>\u00a0–\u00a0Marsha Cairo<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

– Removing halos<\/a> Halos are lighter lines around a selection. They can be the nemesis of doing composites. This video helps with that.
– A simple 2 image composite<\/a> If you haven’t done composites before, even just adding a sky, this is a great place to start

Halloween pennant (Celithemis eponina). Taken with the Nikon 200 mm macro, with a bit of flash, probably -2\/3 stop, that I think really helped. Need to get out this spring and do more dragonflies. Anyone have recommended locations?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
