Sunset Glow & Studio

Ever since I began taking photos, I’ve been more observant of what things might make a good shot. For the past few years, whenever I’m driving and the sun is fairly close to the horizon, I realized the colors were fantastic. I know sunsets can be a bit cliche, but they paint everything warm colors, and when that hits your eyes, it just looks amazing. Next time you’re outside during a sunset, point your face towards the sun and look in a mirror.
Here’s a few sunset shots, and just because, a few studio shots from the same day.
Sometimes It’s The Post-Process

Being a photographer requires a few different skills to come up with quality images. You need to start with a good eye for composition and a general sense of setting. Having a good angle and good lighting are crucial first steps, but sometimes it’s just not enough.
Developing skills in editing your shots is what really brings out the shine. Sometimes, if the lighting wasn’t quite right, you have to rely on post-processing to salvage the shoot. My latest shoot suffered from unexpected weather and lighting problems, but in the end I really liked the outcome.
*Also as a side note, I try to avoid vignetting because it’s overdone. Some of these shots include natural vignetting caused by lighting, and some I added a little. You probably couldn’t easily guess which had some added because this is the perfect setting to use vignetting.

Today I went to the Florida State Fair. I like going there for 2 main reasons: food and carnies. I had chicken on a stick, steak on a stick, fried twinkie, kettle corn… I’ll leave it at that. My conscience is keeping me from listing all atrocities.
I also love that carnival culture. From the fire-eating pygmy to the freakshow art to the little boy proud of his prize-winning poultry. It’s a unique experience that really can’t be found outside the fair environment.
