Photographing Rare Clouds

Kevin Moss — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:42:59 +0000

ong time nut for photographing storms and clouds here. I do admit it. Been working on my "Sky" portfolio for years. On the night of June 23, 2010 we had some powerful storms roll through Michigan. Passing through early evening, we were presented with an extremely rare occurence of what is a newly designated cloud type; Undulus Asperatus clouds. I've only seen them just a few times in the past 20 years, but last night was the first opportunity for me to capture the images of these rare clouds. Turbulent motions between differing air masses create undulating clouds Meteorologists have proposed that these clouds be designated as the first new cloud type to be named in over 50 years: Undulus Asperatus.

Father and Son Landscape Photographers

Kevin Moss — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 19:58:12 +0000

INSPIRATION is the word of the day. As I've taught for years, the best way to be inspired, educated and motivated is to view the works of other photographers. Joining local camera clubs, reading the trade magazines every month, buying portfolio books from your local reseller or online is a great way to become inspired. Don't be afraid to purchase these from other photographers either. It helps promote eachother, and it will prove how open minded you are from learning from others.

Photography Above the Clouds

Kevin Moss — Mon, 17 May 2010 00:23:36 +0000

Millions of flights a year. Billions of fliers. Out of that many that travel the friendly skies, how many do you see taking photos through the window? If you haven't tried it, you might be pleasantly surprised at the results. If you're patient, lucky with light and sitting in a window seat away from the wing, there is nothing stopping you from passing the time working on your "sky" photography.

Spring Flower Photography

Kevin Moss — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 23:29:37 +0000

In my part of the country, spring usually comes late April. This year it sprung early, At this time in the year, and its only for about a week, the tree’s begin to bud, grass begins to grow again and turn green, and the marigolds begin to flower. For the nature photographer, it’s time to get back to work! The tree’s at this time of year begin to bud, and within a week, boom! They’re full of leaves. If you can catch the tree’s as they are blooming, you can get some very interesting images. The emergence of spring also means color for many photographers. The greys, blacks and whites are gone from winter, and the great outdoors starts to look good again. Bring out your macro lenses, it’s time to start shooting!

Blur as an Element of Composition

Kevin Moss — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 08:58:27 +0000

Not every image is a candidate for these types of techniques. After a while however, you'll start recognizing images that you'll want to experiment transforming into alternative photographs. I strongly suggest you start working on your abstract or blur portfolio, you may be pleased with the results, and you may be even more pleased with expanding your photographic horizons.

Remembering Robert Mapplethorpe – Master of Photography

Kevin Moss — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 23:50:27 +0000

Among professional photographers, art collectors and rock & roll historians, Mapplethorpe is a well remembered icon. His beautiful friendship with rocker Patti Smith (beloved here in the Detroit area) is well documented and discussed. His hard work in the fine art circles of making photography a serious artform is also well known. In the least, my article here should serve a purpose if introducing Robert Mapplethorpe and his work to the new legions of digital photographers who have joined our ranks in the past 5, 10 or 20 years. View his website, http://www.mapplethorpe.org/ and pay close attention to Mapplethorpe's body of work. His mastery of composition, color, tone in both black and white and color should be inspiration enough. If anything else, his portraits are timeless, and may make you rethink your own choice of subject matter and composition.

Color As An Element of Photographic Composition

Kevin Moss — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 22:39:47 +0000

As in our eBook Improve Your Photography, one of the 50 techniques talks about using color as and element of composition. This article just serves as a reminder that as a photographer, you can also think of yourself of a modern artist. Use digital images to create prints of just color. I learned this early on from my older sister who is an artist. Our home growing up was filled with her abstract paintings of color, no subject, just color. Large 4 foot by 4 foot canvases of color themes were hung on our walls, and I've had the bug ever since.
