Knowing a Location

Posted on October 8, 2013October 8, 2013 by Jordan Steele

It’s been a little while since my last article, but be assured: I’ve got lots in the pipeline (including a review of the Panasonic GX7).  Today I’m going to touch on something I think is very important for photographers who shoot outdoors, and that’s getting to really know a location.  It’s especially important to know…

Telling a Story: The Chair

Posted on July 19, 2013July 19, 2013 by Jordan Steele

Over the past month, I’ve had a chance to sort of do a little photographic storytelling by creating a series of images over time.  On my way to work every day, I pass a series of abandoned parking lots that used to serve a rather large strip mall that has since been demolished.  Usually these…

Little Building, Big City

Posted on February 23, 2013February 23, 2013 by Jordan Steele

Every once in a while, I’ll see a subject, and I will instantly know the type of shot I want to make.  Sometimes, I’ll take some shots and get it right away…other times, the light isn’t right, or you don’t quite know how you want to go about capturing it. This is one of those…

Creating a Child of Darkness

Posted on September 5, 2012 by Jordan Steele

Ok, well, not for real…just photographically.  I occasionally take part in a ‘weekly assignment’ at one of the forums I frequent, where users submit photos on a weekly theme.  A winner is picked (though there’s no real prize), but the main thing is to get you thinking outside the box and to try new photographic…

Quick Tip: Photographing Children

Posted on August 21, 2012 by Jordan Steele

A lot of hobbyist photographers take pictures of their kids.  In fact, even for those who like shooting landscapes or macro, a lot of people take more pictures of their children than of any other subject.  I know that’s certainly the case for me. I love taking pictures of architecture, landscapes, sports, bugs, flowers, etc….but…

It’s raining inside!

Posted on August 11, 2012 by Jordan Steele

I took this photograph yesterday morning.  It’s my daughter, wearing her little frog boots, and ready to go outside.  I took this shot with one thing in mind, but after viewing the original image, I decided to do some editing to make the image fit the vision that was in my head.  I normally don’t…

Finding photos in the shadows

Posted on August 6, 2012 by Jordan Steele

I went downtown for a quick jaunt today.  I went to North Bank Park, where I go a lot.  I’ve exhausted a lot of the photographic opportunities here, at least when it comes to the cityscape…(though I think it’s impossible to truly exhaust a location…it just gets harder).  I got a few nice photos, but…

Indoor Leaf Macros

Posted on July 4, 2012July 4, 2012 by Jordan Steele

I haven’t had much time to photograph the past week or so.  It’s been brutally hot, and I’ve been pretty busy at work.  Since I had the day off today, I had to do something photographically…but it’s another scorcher, and by the time I got up, the morning light had faded.  So, I went out…
