…because Photography is my Creativity

I was a little bit weary for a bit today and didn’t feel much up to searching through a lot of flickr photos.

So I almost did not post my favorite flickr photo of the day. It’s a good thing I came across this one when I did. It is excellent. It is actually taken by one of the photographers I have already posted. It was just too good of a shot to not share though. I was pretty excited when I saw this photographer’s set of hummingbirds. Those are one of my favorite birds! Plus, they always seem so difficult to catch in a good photograph because they are so quick. This one is a really swell shot of a hummingbird! The focus is great, and the exposure is too! No distractions in the background because it is faded nicely. All around, to me, it’s just awesome. I love hummingbirds!

God bless you all!

Hey guys!

So yesterday I kinda went off on a random tangent instead of staying on course with my high-speed photography posts. So today I thought I’d make it up to you and share a bit more on the high speed topic.

I’ve done a bit more browsing on the topic, and it was quite discouraging here for a little while. So many blogs and tutorials make high speed photography out to be so complex. I did find a decent explanation that is not so complex, and I actually recommend this site because I’ve gotten quite a bit out of reading their photography tips and tutorials (I even follow them on Twitter).

It’s a really short tutorial, so it doesn’t take up a lot of your time (unless you click on a few links and go try to figure out more info on the topic as I typically do).

The tutorial states that what you’ll need for taking high speed photography is an External Flash and a Flash Trigger. Of course you’ll need a camera as well, but that’s a given. Only 2 extra pieces of equipment though? I was pretty stoked, especially after reading a few other tutorials that had 6+ things you “HAD” to have.

Anyway, check it out for yourselves – Here! At the Digital Photography School website.

Also, since I got off of topic yesterday. Here is a do-it-yourself high speed photography resource: http://www.hiviz.com/
They have products, activities, tools, etc. Lots of things that will be helpful in getting you started with high speed photography.

That’s all for now. I’m sure I’ll find more high speed photography info to blog soon, so stay tuned.

Be sure to leave a comment and feedback to let me know what you think and if these resources were helpful to you.

Blessings,
Britt <><
