Introduction

I have spent the last twelve years trying to master the art of photography. With countless hours behind the lens and the monitor, I have learned many secrets to producing fantastic images that are being cherished by my  family, friends, and countless customers.  I have been asked over and over; How did you do that? Can you teach me the techniques to make my pictures look like that?  

Well, I am going to share my secrets and methods to create images that can step your images up to the next level.  If you have a simple DSLR camera and at least Photoshop Elements 6, I can show you how to astonish not only your friends, but yourself as well. If you have Lightroom 3+, I'll teach you how to perfect every picture you take even the ones that you wish you could retake.  The methods that I use are used by some of the most famous photographers to create the images you see everyday.  

Most photographers are not going to share these secrets.  They guard them like a magician does their illusions. But I am going to share these secrets and we will share our photo experiences both good and bad so that we can all become better photographers.
 
I will discuss portrait, wedding, event, nature and trick photography.  However, with spring just around the corner in the mid-west, thunderstorms will soon be a weekly event.  In the my next post, I am going to show you how to take stunning lighting pictures like this one.

What you will need: 
DSLR Camera
Sturdy Tripod
PSE 6
A Thunderstorm!

Optional (recommended)
Wired or wireless shutter release device
Lightroom 3





After the next post, I am looking forward to posting the pictures you take with my techniques.  Thanks for following!
