DISQUS

John Patterson · 6 months ago

As usuall, another great interview, with plenty of great tips and georgous photos - My favorite was the morning mist and fall foliage - wonderful shot! - My favorite tip "show your friendly face"
I have to say though, that I have mixed emotions at the idea of adding dramatic backdrops to your photos . On the one hand, I've been experimenting with multiple exposures for decades - occasionally coming up with a very rewarding outcome....but, on the other hand, I think it can have a detrimental effect on the photographers ability to enjoy the photo themselves - always being aware of the lackluster sky that was present when they shot the picture. A small point of concern - maybe more important to the amateur than the Pro trying to put food on the table. Allthough Christina and Laura did feel the need to disclose the Photoshop sky while seeming to take pride in the fact that they made wonderful use of the staurated colors of the fall foliage dispite the grey skies on the foggy morning.
I really would like to know if they feel differently about the two photos dispite the beauty and drama of both of them.
Thanks for another great podcast,
John
