I was out working on the road recently in this Amazing location at the foothills of the North Cascades. I thought, I should share the secrets of how we become great photographers. Not just people who take nice photos, but masters.
The answer is not a collection of software (no not even mine) or a more super duper camera. It’s here in plain sight and I hope that this video brings that perspective. Learning this way, it’s refreshing and rewarding and once you start everything begins to change.
You CAN take your work further. What separates the men from the boys (ladies too) is the key elements. Once you tie them all together you produce images that are sharper, more creative and more compelling in every way.
Watch and let me know what you think — Gav
PS: We also have some amazing workshops that deal with these aspects of study. Watch EXposed to understand the magic of light and Photo School to help you master the art.

I recently switched to the Sony A7R II and I’m finding it an amazing body. There’s countless YouTube reviews on this camera, so I don’t feel I need to make another. It’s a great system, with great ISO and great resolution that it makes amazing prints. Sony is leading the market, simple as that. But what about the viewfinder?
What I found lacking when I was considering this was details on what the EVF (Electronic Viewfinder) was like. Coming from years of traditional viewfinders on cameras like my Canon 5D series, I was unsure. I require a good viewfinder on my main camera. I could find no inside video of the EVF. I took the risk, but you don’t have to.
As it turns out the EVF has come into it’s own. At least with Sony. This fast digital view gives real time images and information with virtually no lag, it makes photographing easier, especially in low light. I love it. Here’s a quick video I made to show what the EVF looks like inside.

Being a great photographer does not always mean getting the perfect shot. Knowing what you need and sticking to your plan is just as important. Even if it means having to come back later. The best photographers have something to prove in their images and they don’t settle for second best.
Timing is everything and knowing when and where to be is key, no matter what type of image your making. This time of Photographic school I share some tough lessons in getting and NOT getting the shot that serve as a reminder to be prepared when the light moves.
