Dealing with Rejection

Jeff: Share story about a client who HATED my edits of her daughter’s senior photos.  Preferred the auto-toned, flat, blue-tinted proofs I sent her to cull.  For a couple of weeks I asked everyone I came in contact with which version was better.

Jeff: {another story if time} Total rejection on shooting the local high school football team the first year I tried.  School said they had an exclusive photographer.  Asked numerous sponsors of they would help me get a pass.  No go.  As of this recording I have now shot two football games this season and am working on a pass to get up to the University of Utah field where the high school will play in the semi-finals of the State playoffs.  Worked my way in by shooting basketball.

5 Unconventional Landscape Tips (article by Chris Mowers)

Capture Detail

Jeff: Love this suggestion.  I don’t do enough of it, my wife is very good at it.

Multiple Exposure

Jeff: Have never really tried this.  Maybe a little to abstract for me.

Flip a Reflection

Jeff: Never done this one either, though I really haven’t had too many water reflection shooting opportunities so far.

Intentional Camera Movement

Jeff:  I do this one all the time, except for the intentional part.

Stack Clouds

Jeff: I have actually done this.  Makes the sky so much more interesting and have often had the clouds move so fast it didn’t take that long.
