D8: What I know

Shoot what you know.

I keep hearing that. What I know is the outdoors. I must have shot hundreds of clouds during my senior year of high school. I loved it because every shot is different. I love how the light may only be perfect for a matter of minutes. When it leaves, it leaves you wanting for more. A thirst.


Well, I've decided that I'm going to shoot what I know, but I'm also going to challenge myself. Isn't that what this is all about? I'm going to push myself to get shots that I would never normally think about. Really get outside my comfort zone. I used to have a camera with me more than not. I need to get back to those days.

I knew most of this. The "flash sync mode" reminded me of how much I have to learn when it comes to creative lighting with flash. I'm thinking I need to visit the world of Zac Arias.

Images: Zac Arias. I would absolutely love to attend one of his One Light Workshops. But they're always sold out. And they're always across the country. Maybe I'll have to settle for his DVD.
