New Years Eve 2018 Snow Pictures

What a suprise we had today, snowing most of the day, for the sum of about six inches. I figured it would snow a little, yet never expected this much! I'm extremely busy right now shoveling snow off the two decks and the driveway, but when I'm done, I'll get to posting some pictures!

Here are just a couple pictures of our New Years Eve snowstorm.

The last post of the year. Happy New Year!

Photography Videos 2018

As it snowed today, I would like to share with you a couple photography videos in Prescott Arizona I took with my iPhone 6s Plus. Not the greatest, as I'm not a videographer, but better than nothing!

These are all taken around our new house, our log cabin in the woods. The roads were to slick to go anywhere, (we didn't make it downtown to the boot drop,) so we just stayed home. It wasn't that we received that much snow, but that it was really slick on the roads. After reading about all the accidents in the local paper and on Facebook, I'm glad we stayed home!

Update: 1/5/19 - The photography videos in Prescott Arizona were taken of our log cabin and down the front street. Just testing out my videography skills!

After posting the below photography videos, I noticed they are very small. If you want to actually be able to SEE what's going on in the videos, click on the 'full screen' mode of the video.

December 30th Post

Holding space here for end of the year pictures.

Kauai Vacation Pictures

As it's been very cold here with lows around 13 degrees, I figured I'd create a 'warm' page of posts! So, this blog post will be about our vacation a couple years ago to Kauai, Hawaii. We spent a week in a cabin up in the middle of the rain forest. We had to buy our own food and cook for ourselves.

This may not sound like much of a vacation for most, but for us it was ideal. Why? Because we were there to hike, not visit all the regular tourist traps. Sure, we got out to see the ocean and eat some good food, but our main purpose was to hit as many hiking trails as we could. And we did!

So, as soon as I have a bit more time, I'll put up a BUNCH of pictures of our trip, as I took over 1,400 pictures in 7 days. They are with my iPhone, but still very high quality. So, until next time...

The Daily Shot

This post entitled, The Daily Shot, may begin a new thread for daily postings of a select picture. Similar to what I've been doing on Facebook. Oh, and you can check out my Photography Guide In Prescott Facebook page here: Photography Guide In Prescott. It's where I spend most of my time.

I'm also just holding space here for the end of the year. Always looks good to have a few posts in a month, even if I'm busy. I still haven't posted a lot of pictures here, as I've been super busy taking more pictures, or working my other job.

New Years Eve Pictures

This blog post will contain New Years Eve Pictures in Prescott Arizona. Obviously this event hasn't occurred yet, so pictures and verbiage will follow! Should be fun, down on 'Whiskey Row' in Prescott Arizona, watching the 'boot drop!' I will probably only have my iPhone, but it's better than nothing. To many people milling around bumping into me to tote around the big camera. Besides, I'm here to have fun, with photography second.

So, look forward to some great New Years Eve pictures in Prescott Arizona, and as Whiskey Row is right across from the County Courthouse, I will probably add pictures of that, here, as well!

Holiday Images In Prescott Arizona

This blog will cover holiday images in Prescott Arizona. Unfortunately, I don't have time to fill in this blog post, so it will have to wait. One would think that this time of the year, between Christmas and New Years, would slow down just a bit. Not! So, when I have time, I'll add some photos here.

Yellowstone Pictures

This blog post will consist of Yellowstone pictures from our trip there in the summer of 2017. That was the first visit I have made to Yellowstone National Park, and it was great! I think we were there for about four days, and was not nearly long enough to even get close to seeing all there is to see.

I'm not joking when I say that I could spend years in that park taking pictures. My love for outdoor and nature photography knows no bounds, especially when it is combined with such beauty. I will add more Yellowstone pictures when I have time, as for now, this blog is not my priority.

I'm super busy, so here are just two images on our way to Yellowstone. These pictures were taken out the window of the plane, on our way from Las Vegas to Idaho Falls. Then we drove the rest of the way to the south entrance to the park. I will get more Yellowstone pictures posted when I have time.

I have to admit that although the two pictures above aren't spectacular, they are pretty darned good for being shot out of an airplane, through a murky window, with an iPhone. I will post more Yellowstone pictures soon, I promise!

P.S. - Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in improving your photography skills. I offer in-person, one day seminars. This seminar is very personalized, with a maximum number of students of only four. 

Prescott Christmas Parade

'They' say that equipment or your camera doesn't matter. It's all about the photographer. Chuckles. It certainly does matter...Your equipment, that is. We were down at the Prescott Christmas Parade, freezing our butts off, but it was fun. I only took a couple images as it was to cold to take my hands out of my pockets. The photos below were taken with my iPhone.

Zoom on these mobile devices is very poor as they don't have the extending and retractable lens. Thus, the camera DOES matter, as if I would have have the Canon I could have got some good pictures. Oh well. Thus, figure stuff out for yourself, don't just take peoples word for it. Most are full of shit, myself included! :-) I won't go into a rant here in regards to stupid people and stupid comments.

With that said, I'm unconcerned with getting 'good' pictures at the initial Yavapai County Courthouse lighting, as we will be down at the Prescott Courthouse many times before the holiday season is over with. As to the Prescott Christmas Parade, I didn't see a lot of photo-worthy opportunities, but that's just me. As I'm sure you can tell from the rest of my blog posts and photographs, I'm more of a nature/outdoor photographer.

So, here are just a couple pictures I could 'doctor up' well enough to post. I will certainly get more 'good' photos in the near future, when we visit the Yavapai County Courthouse with less people around. It's just to busy down there on a weekend.

P.S. - The U.S. flag on the top of the Yavapai County Courthouse was at half mast for the passing away of former President Bush.

Leaf Photography And Leaf Photos

As you can see below, leaf photography in Prescott Arizona is a favorite subject of mine. Mostly because we have such a variety of trees here, it's easy to find great leaf photos in Prescott. As I have mention several times in several of the blog posts here, I don't have much time to post a lot of content or pictures. Thus, for right now, this blog topic will be a little skimpy on words and images.

So, let's get to some pictures! (Tip: Click on the images below for full size and clarity.) 

The above leaf photos in Prescott Arizona was taken just next to our cabin in the woods. As you can see, I don't have to go far for great color! Leaf photography in Prescott is almost easy with this much color and differentiation. Obviously this image was taken in the fall, thus the striking colors. But still, year 'round, there a ton of leaves to photograph.

The above is part of the same group of leaves. As you can see, I don't enhance the pictures very much. A bit of sharpness and a couple other adjustments, very quickly, and the picture is posted. Why? Because I'm not focused on 'end result' images. That's not what I do. I'm more interested in angles and natural lighting. If you are a photographer who wants to post your pictures or sell them, then obviously you need to know all the settings on your camera, as well as post processing, such as Lightroom and PhotoShop. But again, not my interest here. Leaf photos in Prescott and leaf photography in Prescott can certainly benefit from all these additions, but again, I'm not concerned with that aspect of photography. Strange? Yeah, I know.

Yet another different angle of the same leaves. This is what I teach in my photography guide in Prescott Arizona seminar. First, locating or finding subjects, as most people are walking WAY to fast, then getting the right angle and lighting. I spend hours with you, in person, doing just this. It is actually a lot of fun! Especially when it comes to leaf photography and leaf photos.

And last but certainly not least, the photo above. Beautiful picture, don't you think? And yes, I left the 'limb shadow' on the main leaf on purpose. Why? I don't know. Perhaps more natural. Again, I'm not trying to sell this picture or anything like that. Just HAVING FUN, which we should ALL be doing! I think most photographers do have a lot of fun, yet, when it becomes a business, the pressure is on to create magical images, which can be tough to do.

What is also fun, and easy, with leaf photos in Prescott as well as leaf photography in Prescott Arizona, is that they are, for the most part, stationary. Unless the breeze or wind is blowing, of course. Now the lighting can certainly change if you are using direct, nature sun, but you still have plenty of time to get that great shot. So, SLOW DOWN! HAVE SOME FUN! TAKE YOUR TIME! This isn't a race, by any means. Okay, I need to get back to work, doing what I do, so have some fun with critiquing the pictures above. There are so many ways to get different angles, lighting, etc. I'm certainly not perfect.

Until next time,

Christmas Photos In Prescott Arizona

This blog post will be dedicated to Christmas photos in Prescott Arizona. This page, when I have time, will be full of Christmas photography images as it is one of my favorite times of the year. Especially THIS year, as it is our first winter living here in Prescott. We are still getting used to the cold weather, coming from a much warmer climate in Las Vegas. Yet, I grew up here, and visited regularly, so it's not like I've never been in the cold weather before.

I am still looking for a job to supplement this career as a photography guide in Prescott Arizona, and that process is taking up most of my time. (It's actually a real pain in the ass looking for a job.) At first it was amusing, now it's just a pain. So, between that chore I will be putting up Christmas photos in Prescott Arizona when I have more time. 

So, let me get to posting a couple pictures and then I have to get back to work, looking for work. Again, not fun. Oh, and I always forget to write this: Click on the images below to magnify them for clarity. 

The above picture of Christmas photos in Prescott Arizona was taken in the creek bed where I teach my photography guide seminars. This time of year, the autumn and winter, all the leaves are changing and it's beautifully magnificent! Oh, and another thing. I realize it is only November, so Christmas photography may be a bit early for you, but for me, once Thanksgiving is over with, I am on to Christmas!

The picture above of Santa and the chipmunk was taken on our front deck. I am still trying to get better pictures of this these critters, both the chipmunk AND Santa! :-) But seriously, the chipmunks are extremely quick, so getting them to sit still for Christmas photos Prescott Arizona style can be a chore. It's also a double-edged sword getting these images. Why? Because I can stay in our cabin and be warm, but that means blurry photos having to shoot through the window. What suggestions do you have to improve the angles and lighting? 



Here is a macro photo of a couple leaves changing color. I don't doctor up the colors, although I do sharpen my images. They really are this red in color. I really enjoy taking macro photos in Prescott Arizona, as there are so many subjects or topics to take pictures of! Right now, we are coming into my favorite time of the year, the holiday season, and taking Christmas photos in Prescott Arizona will consume a lot of my time. As I age, I love the holidays!

I love contrast, and the above demonstrates this. And, it's holiday colors, red and green. As mentioned above, I'm much more 'into' macro photography than I am landscape photography or 'large' topics, subjects, or just pictures. You will certain see a fair share of vast images, especially around the lakes here and images taken while we hike, but my true love is taking macro photos. Especially Christmas photos in Prescott Arizona. Bring on the holiday season!  

Okay, enough fun for now. I could do this all day, write up content for blog posts and post pictures, but again, duty calls in finding me a job or career. I would love to find an at-home job, where I could work on taking images and editing them, along with another form of 'work,' but it is looking slim. Most at-home job opportunities are scams and such. Oh well, I will find something. So, for now, this is all the time I have for Christmas photos in Prescott Arizona. 

Until next time, keep shooting!

Prescott Hiking Trails

Prescott hiking trails are where I conduct my seminars as a photography guide in Prescott Arizona. Not to mention the fact that hiking Prescott Arizona is a blast, in and of itself! I am unsure how Prescott ranks in number of hiking trails, yet it must be quite high. There are trails everywhere. This blog post is not going to list all the hiking trails; I will leave that to those who map out the trails, here: Prescott Hiking Trails. Visit that page for a listing of the Prescott hiking trails.

Photography in Prescott Arizona is very popular as well due to the beautiful nature and surroundings. We have trails around the lakes, into the woods, mountain climbing, you name it. Listed below are just a few photographs I have taken while out and about hiking Prescott.   

The image above is from the Summer of 2018 at Goldwater lake. We had just moved to Prescott Arizona back in March, purchased a couple kayaks, and took to the water. What a blast! There are Prescott hiking trails around all the lakes. Hiking Prescott has been a lot of fun, with trails consisting of beginners to advanced. The people we meet on the trails have all been extremely friendly as well. Always helpful and informative. Even though I was raised here, I'm still impressed with the number of trails, as well as how well they are maintained. Kudos to you, the maintainers, whoever you are.  

The above picture is also of Goldwater lake. It's close to where we live, so it's the most visited lake. I also grew up in this area, so it's a personal favorite of mine as well. There are several Prescott hiking trails in and around the lake, as well as the Groom Creek area, south of Prescott. Hiking Prescott on a couple of these trails can be quite challenging. Visit the link above for a listing of trails in this area, if you enjoy the woods and hiking up the side of mountains. (My personal favorite.) 

 

This is an image from out on the Constellation trail, one of several Prescott hiking trails located north of Prescott, in the granite dells area. (Head out towards the airport and Chino Valley and you will find this area, including several trails into the granite dells, Watson Lake, Willow Lake, and several other areas.) Excellent hiking for beginners! Hiking Prescott on these trails has a lot of rocks, some good inclines, yet few wooded areas, if that's for you.

I am out of time right now for writing, but I will certainly come back to this particular blog post and add to it. Hiking Prescott is a favorite activity of mine, as well as my sweetie, and the Prescott hiking trails are second to none! The clean air, beautiful weather year-round, well kept trails, and friendly people, make this area of northern Arizona a popular location. 

This is also where I run my seminars as a photography guide in Prescott Arizona. If you are interested in improving your photography, and learning how to get that 'one-in-a-million' shot, then contact me ASAP. My contact information is listed below. This seminar is inexpensive and lasts only one day. Also, most of the day is spent out on one of the Prescott hiking trails learning how to raise your awareness and get that perfect lighting and angle. It sound easy...and it is! Yet, so many forget these basics when confronted with a beautiful scene. 

But, enough of that for now. I have more photos to edit and images to take. Until next time, keep shooting and working on your angles and lighting.

Barn Photos

Barn photos in Prescott Arizona. Yet another favorite topic of mine! Unfortunately I don't have many pictures of barns, only the semi-barn at my parents house. I don't have time to write much about this topic either. I will put up a couple photographs and add to this blog post at a later date. The barn photo below is really an old house in Zion National Park, up the Taylor Creek trail head.

I realize these aren't really barn photos in Prescott Arizona, but it's the best I can do for the time being. The two pictures listed below are from the old trail station stop in Perkinsville. This is the endpoint of the Verde Valley train ride we took for my sweetie's birthday. Oh, and I highly recommend this train ride! I prefer it over the Grand Canyon train ride. We saw a couple bald eagles and some great scenery to boot.

The image above...I have no idea what it is. Two hole-er toilets? I have no idea, but found it interesting enough to take a picture of. Now, listed below, is the closest thing I have to a 'barn photo.' Hope it works for you. My parents label it as a barn, thus it is, and truly a barn photo in Prescott Arizona. My favorite, as with everyone else, are all the tools and gadgets hanging on the side of the barn. Pretty cool, huh? My parents decorated it this way 20 years ago. And yes, all the rust is natural. :-)

 Two of the four old fashioned push saws were actually hand-made by my Grandfather on my Dads side of the family. My parents have always loved antiques, and love to collect all kinds of 'stuff' as well. You should see it in person; certainly a sight to see!

Okay, I'm out of time for now, besides the fact that I don't really have any barn photos in Prescott Arizona to show you anyway. I have been so busy photographing everything I can, around where we live, I've yet to get to barns. But, I will! Until next time...

Photography Videos In Prescott

Photography videos in Prescott Arizona will be a blog post with links to the videos I will be creating. Hopefully I will create one today! Just FYI, videos are very labor intensive and time consuming, yet they make for great marketing tools. If they say a photo is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million, and I'm not joking. It's so much easier to talk into a camera for a couple minutes than it is to type out a bunch of words. And I'm good at typing! The time consuming part of it is in creating the video.

For me, I like to keep the photography videos in Prescott Arizona somewhat professional. Just like my EFT Tapping videos I created, which were quite a lot. Somewhere around 80 videos, I think. Never did much with them, as I just couldn't figure out how to market it to assist people. But, back to topic. How to keep them professional...First, I need a location where the background is semi-neutral. Not dark and not to bright. Also, the background should not be to busy, and I like to keep the camera level with my body and head. I don't want to appear to be talking down to the laptop or camera like most people do. Then of course I need to look half way decent. Then, the most difficult part of creating photography videos in Prescott Arizona, or any videos, is remembering to look into the camera, and remember the message, or what it is I have to say. Sounds easy, yes? Well, even after creating over 100 videos, I still get nervous and forget what I'm going to say. Then, once I've created a video that's up to specs, I then have to upload it to YouTube. This can take awhile as well.

Also, I don't edit the photography videos in Prescott Arizona. I'm not a videographer. I do my best to get something out there that's okay, and that's it. I even say this in my videos. It's to time consuming to sit around editing stuff, unless that's what you do for a living, or you have a lot of spare time. It's the same, for me, in regards to editing pictures. I'd rather be out shooting them!

So, I'm up early this morning getting my work done and getting ready to shoot some photography videos in Prescott Arizona. The first one will be in regards to what it is I can actually do FOR YOU as a photography guide in Prescott Arizona. It's crystal clear in my mind, yet, I know for a fact, especially with the word 'guide' in the title, that there will be some confusion in regards to what the heck it is I actually do. So, the first video will cover that, and of course what it is that I DON'T do.

Let me get my work done and get going on my first video. I've been 'scoping out our house' for areas to shoot the videos, so I'm somewhat prepared. Good luck to me, and have a great day! I'll post the first photography videos in Prescott Arizona here so you can take a look.

Macro Photos In Prescott Arizona

Macro photos in Prescott Arizona will be a popular blog post here, as the majority of what I do is 'up-close' photography, bordering on macro photography in Prescott Arizona. I'm unsure of the 'technical' definition of macro photography, but I think it's a bit more 'magnified' than what I do, here.

Here, the pictures listed below, is an update to this post. The pictures of the frost listed below. It is getting cold here, and although 25 degrees may not be cold to many, it's cold enough for me! And, combined with a humid morning, we have frost. A couple of these images listed below are more like true macro photos in Prescott Arizona.

The photo above was taken on the morning of November 25th, 2018, across the street from our home. One thing I teach as a photography guide in Prescott Arizona is awareness training. This means that you are ALWAYS on the lookout for new subjects and topics to take pictures of, even close to your own home! Not to mention taking pictures INSIDE your home, but I will get to that in another blog post.

The photograph above is more in-line with the typical definition of macro photos in Prescott Arizona. Up close and detailed. If you zoom in close enough you can see the ice crystals, and at times it looks like the limb is coated with fuzz. I was freezing my butt off taking these shots as well! I'm not adjusted to this climate yet, obviously.

The picture listed above is obviously part of this group as well. One thing I teach in my seminar is to move your body to get the best angles and lighting. This often means that for great macro photos in Prescott Arizona we have to get down on our knees, or, down on our belly to get the shot. As you can see, above, I didn't get low enough. I had a blanket to buffer my knees on the ground, but still didn't get low enough. But, as I teach, practice makes perfect.

The photo above, again, is getting to close to what we refer to as macro photography, or as I label them, macro photos in Prescott Arizona for search engine reasons. Why? Because based on my SBI! software program, certain words and or phrases have higher demand to supply ratio. I won't say anymore, as I don't want to give all my secrets away. :-)

Yet another picture of the front. Another topic I emphasize is this, while looking at these images: Look at the angle and lighting changes you can make, not all the pretty fancy stuff you can do in LightRoom or PhotoShop. Why? Because that's another phase of your training, and it's not covered in what I teach. Same with operating your camera. You will need to learn that somewhere else. Is it important? Of course! But again, it's not what I'm teaching, here, in my seminar. So, let me get back to posting more about macro photos in Prescott Arizona, as it is my keyword phrase, here.

As with a couple of the other images listed above, this one above is getting closer to the truer definition of macro photography in Prescott Arizona. This is also, yet again, another photo that can be seriously improved upon. For macro photos in Prescott Arizona, you could certainly get closer, change your angles and lighting. There is a lot one can do with this image.

Okay, now back to my previous post and comments, which I will not change. The content may not flow, but that's okay. With that said, I'm going to list what I refer to as macro photos in Prescott Arizona as the majority of the population doesn't know technical definitions, and I really could care less either way. I'm just here to provide information on my seminar and what I do as a photography guide in Prescott, show you HOW to get those stunning shots, then send you on your way. :-)

For right now, I don't have the time for writing a lot of content for this blog page or any other one. I'm still putting together photography videos and content for the actual seminar. I will share a couple macro photos in Prescott Arizona for now, and will add more later. I'm unsure how much space Blogspot allows, but I do know photographs take up a lot of memory or space. I may have to list all my artwork over on my Shutterfly account, Google account, etc.

As soon as I can get my seminar information all finished up, which should be today, I can get to writing blog posts. To spell this out a bit further in regards to what it is I actually do, I'm not here to just list macro photos in Prescott Arizona for the world to see. Yes, they are nice, if I do say so myself, but that's not my purpose. My purpose is to post images and then have those with a critical eye, those choosing to 'up their game,' and improve their photography skills, to 'pick apart' my work.

What do I mean by that? I mean, look at each picture or image, and see how it could have been shot differently. Do not worry to much about color, or sharpness, etc., etc., because I'm not looking for a critique on post-processing, I'm looking for a critique on angles and lighting. That's what I teach, and what I want to teach to you! Again, I'm posting macro photos in Prescott Arizona to give you some examples of different angles and lighting. It is tough to do when you are not in the field, but it's good enough for the time being.

Once we get out in the field, then we can really look at the different angles and lighting. This is where my instruction comes into play. I will first show you have to FIND actual targets to shoot, which is simple but not easy, then work on the angles and lighting to get the perfect macro photos in Prescott Arizona that you can show off to all your friends.

Okay, that is enough content for now. Again, I certainly will get back to writing more here, but not at this time. I have a seminar to complete.

Autumn Leaves In Prescott

Autumn leaves in Prescott and leaf photography in Prescott Arizona. This blog post will be dedicated to leaves! Sound boring? No way! When I have more time, I will write up a bunch of content for this page, but for now, I'll just add a bunch of pretty pictures. As this blog isn't just a photography blog showing off pictures, and is more in regards to looking for new ways to capture images as a photography guide in Prescott, I would like for you to critique the images below and leave some comments at the bottom of the page.

Don't get me wrong, I love beautiful pictures. Perhaps it is the type A personality in me, but when I look at autumn leaves in Prescott Arizona I am always looking to improve my leaf photography in Prescott as well. I am always asking myself questions, such as, "What different angles could I have used, or if I am looking at another's pictures, what different angles could the photographer have used?"

Also, I'm always looking at the lighting. The natural lighting, not artificial. I also examine the overall perspective of the entire picture. I'm not as worried about all the 'rules' that most photography schools teach, such as 'thirds' and such, but more about, did I, or the photographer, capture and focus on what needs to be focused on in the picture? As we just finished the fall/autumn season, autumn leaves in Prescott and leaf photography in Prescott is going to be a big topic here on this blog, at least until it snows. I love the snow, as I have already mentioned several times before.

So, feel free to examine the images blended into this post and critique all you would like. Remember though, we are not here to critique as much the 'finished product' as much as we are looking for better angles and lighting. Such as, did I squat down to get the picture, or did I make the most common mistake and take the photograph from my usual standing position? This is a HUGE topic I will cover again and again. Especially when subjects or topics are low or on the ground, such as leaves. Autumn leaves in Prescott and leaf photography in Prescott means that after the wind blows the leaves off the trees, guess what? They are all over the bushes and on the ground. This means, to get the proper angle, you have to squat down, on your knees, or just all the way down on the ground.

What do you think of these images in regards to autumn leaves in Prescott and leaf photography in Prescott Arizona? And what I'm looking for, or focus on, are the angles and lighting, NOT the pretty colors, post-processing, etc., etc. Not to be rude, but anyone can do that, and it's not photography. It's important, sure, as is knowing all the settings on your camera, but again, this is NOT what I focus on, and it is NOT what my seminar/class is all about.

How about these? What would you do differently? I know and realize it is tough to critique when you are not out in the field, looking at your surroundings. And this is why my seminar is NOT on-line or in a classroom. I teach all of this to you while out in the field, on a trail, in the woods. This is a beautiful time of year for autumn leaves in Prescott and leaf photography in Prescott Arizona.

Once again, please feel free to share your thoughts on any and all of these images in the comment section at the bottom of the blog post. There are certain specifics I'm looking for in these images or pictures, and I want to see if YOU see them and point them out. If not, I will point them out in the seminar. (If I pointed them out here, you wouldn't need to attend the seminar, now would you?)

Okay, now that is just a small sampling of autumn leaves in Prescott Arizona as well as leaf photography in Prescott Arizona. I will be adding a lot more images to this blog post, as we just finished up with autumn/fall, and I have a lot of pictures.

I'm going to wrap up this blog post  for now, as I am extremely busy putting together the actual content of the seminar. There is not a lot of paperwork, but I do want to have some information for you when you take this class. Yes, the majority of your time will be out in the field taking pictures. This is what I want, and this is what this seminar is all about. Autumn leaves in Prescott as well as leaf photography in Prescott is abundant this time of year, thus this is the topic for now. It's a Saturday as I write this, so I hope you have an excellent weekend, and I'll chat with you soon!

Gift Certificates For Seminar

I will be printing up some very nice gift certificates for my seminar/class. I think these would make for a fabulous gift for any photography buff! Unfortunately I don't have time to create them, now. I'm still working on seminar/class content, and that takes priority :)

Autumn Images In Prescott

Technically it is still autumn, so I can still carry on and post about autumn images in Prescott Arizona. I'll post some great pictures as well. Here's the thing; as a photography guide in Prescott Arizona, I'm here to assist you in improving your photography skills. Yet, I've chosen a very small market to teach in. Let me explain this, below.

My seminar has nothing to do with camera settings, or how to operate your camera. If it's fall and you attend this class, we will be focused on autumn images in Prescott. If it's summer, we will be focused on that. Etc., etc. My seminar has nothing to do with post-processing or editing your pictures after you have taken them. So, what does this leave us with?

This leaves us with HOW to take the pictures. I get you out on the trail, in the woods, and teach you HOW to FIND the great subjects for that great shot, how to position yourself and or the subject (if possible) for the right lighting and angles, etc., etc. That is what we do. Not just 'me,' but 'WE.' It's a team effort. But, I'm getting off track. This blog post is supposed to be about autumn images in Prescott Arizona, and I am off rambling about my class and seminars.

This happens because so many people don't understand what it is I do. And that's okay! Here is another comment I get, based on the name of my business, photography guide in Prescott. "As a guide, I assume you take me to all the great locations in Prescott, such as Thumb Butte, the County Courthouse, Willow and Watson Lake, etc., etc., at just the right time of day, to take pictures?" No. What I do is 'guide' you through a 'target rich environment' and teach you how to FIND great subjects to shoot and then HOW to shoot them. Then, you can go ANYWHERE and find your own topics or subjects and shoot like a professional. All on your own!

It's fall here, so autumn images in Prescott Arizona would be the most likely topic or subject. What does this include? Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Leaves changing color. Trees with colorful leaves. Bare tree limbs contrast against the sky. Frost on the ground.

This seminar of mine really is a lot of fun, and you will learn a great deal as well, even if you are a seasoned photographer. I will get some testimonials from those who have taken this class and post them, but right now is a busy time of year for most everyone. Photographers are still out shooting, and amateurs are busy at their jobs, making that final push to the end of the year before the holidays. Thus, let me get to posting some autumn images in Prescott and we will move on.

That's enough for now. I need to get back to writing up more details for the class/seminar. Autumn images in Prescott Arizona are certainly beautiful, and I will get to posting more pictures when I have time. Thanks for reading, if you have made it this far, and I will post more content in the future.

If you are interested in attending my seminar, give me a call at my phone number listed below.

Autumn Photography In Prescott Arizona

Join us for this blog post in regards to autumn photography in Prescott Arizona. To begin with, this is our first fall here at our new home. We purchased a log cabin in the woods back in March, 2018, and have been living here ever since. What a great time we've had! As you can tell by all the pictures posted below, I have been extremely busy capturing images of the woods and our surroundings.


I have to admit that even though I was raised here in Prescott, Arizona, and would come to visit my parents who have lived here for 44 years about once every couple months, I never really got the full dose of the beauty, here. This is why I started my own photography guide in Prescott business, and I'm finding out that autumn photography in Prescott is one of the best times of the year!

In regards to starting my own business, I'm still working on that, thus this is not going to be a long blog post. I just don't have the time, right now, to spend writing here. I'm still working on the curriculum for my seminar, the class I'll be teaching. Autumn photography in Prescott Arizona will play a huge roll in this class, as there is so much beauty to take pictures of.

We have the leaves changing from green to yellow to red. We have the barren tree branches that make for interesting macro photography. We have the beautiful clouds for sunsets. You name it, we have it! It' almost to good to be true. It's also one reason why I've not edited many photos, as I'm to busy outside shooting pictures! Yes, autumn photography in Prescott Arizona will play a huge roll in my class/seminar; proper angles and lighting and all that jazz.

But, for now, I have to get back to work on creating some content for the class, so goodbye for now. I'll leave you with a few photographs I've taken over the past several months.

Until next time I get to write,
