Tip # 8

Winter: A Time to Shine
- Kelly Funk

A technical tip this month? No. Inspirational? I hope so. There's no doubt that winter is a daunting season, but one that can pay huge dividends to photographers who are willing to put in the time. Great material comes from correct exposure and composition, yes, but there is more to consider in this season fraught with difficulties, things like: A diligent work ethic, patience, proper clothing, doing your homework and even more patience. Yes, we need to be technically sound but without the aforementioned our winter shots will probably fail to impress. Make the most of those beautiful fleeting winter moments to set yourself a rung above, your audience and clients will think your images are as cool as ice.
