Mr. Boosta

by

I am always looking to add a little humor to my images when I am out shooting. This morning was just such a case. The tide was just right and I was looking for an image that would tell a story of some kind. What I found was the start of a story but an image that makes you think and adds a little humor. Originally I was looking for work boat compositions but when I saw the name on this boat “Mr. Boosta” I knew that it begged for me to make a shot of it. So what’s the story? You can bet I am going to try and find out.

Always Have a Camera

by

The other day while walking to my car I stumbled into one of the most beautiful sunsets we have seen around here in quite a while. It was magnificent. As I pulled my phone out of my pocket to get a quick shot it occurred to me that my trusty Canon G15 was in the car as it always is and it would give me a much better image with plenty of options. One of my mantras when teaching is to always have a camera with you (use your phone as a last resort). Most photographers I know, professional and otherwise have a second camera they can keep with them when the big heavy stuff is not an option. The Canon G15 is just such a camera. It has a great range, 28-143mm and is fast 1.8-2.8. For most things this camera is great. Sure it does not focus fast and not very good in low light but for most things is awesome! Capturing that memorable moment is all about what you have with you. Hence the image below!
