Oh Andrew, it’s so beautiful specially the champagne. Can even see the bubbles surfacing…

Thanks, Andrew! It all sounds too good to be true … but, yeah — it makes absolute sense! Thanks for the tip. One light at a time it is! Will try this as soon as I can.

Being merely an amateur photographer, I’m lost on some of the terms you “pro’s” use, one being the term “chimp”. By following a link here I now see exactly what is meant:-

“Chimping” refers to the habit of checking your photos right after exposure using the LCD screen on the back of your digital camera.

Thanks for the education!

Thanks for your comment, Chris. I think lighting is the most misunderstood aspect of photography.

Nice job. Glad to see I’m not the only advocate of minimizing the tools to do the job.

Andrew,
I have added your link to my photo journalism class at Episcopal and have assigned them “readings” and reflections based on your posts. This is a great site. I really enjoy looking at your work. One studetn’s response to the work and your writing was very touching. …”Being a photographer or just taking photos can be a Hobby or form of expression, but it can also be a way of life and remembrance. It can teach moral lessons, open boundaries, and change the way a person thinks or feels. This article made me think on a deeper level than I expected too.” K.B.

Thanks and hello,
Dianne

Glad you liked it! This approach really, really works, and takes a lot of the mystery out of the process. Good luck!
