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,
