Flowers....Everyone Loves Them

Since everyone loves flowers, let's give them a go.
Now this session is a relatively simple one of just photographing the lily.
How to enhance it and put the lettering on, comes with the twice-a-week, more concentrated course. You need to join up with us for that....Call up the main Blog:   http://rhaphotopro.blogspot.com/  for instructions how to join until I get this Blog upgraded.

For good, pretty much unlimited, photos, you'll need a good point and shoot Digital Camera. I use a Nikon Coolpix L24 14 MB one. They sell for less than $100 at Amazon. That's where I have my book, "Mississippi Moments" listed.
First, choose a day that is btight, but not too glarey. Set your camera on the "Next to the best quality". I use that all the time, as I find the very highest quality level serverly limits the number of images you can get on a card.
Be sure your camera has its "White Balance" or "Color Balance" or "Kelvin Temperature" (all mean the same) set on "Daylight" for correct color. If you take snapshots inside with no flash, be sure to change your camera Color Balance back to "Incandescent".
Walk around the flower and choose an angle that shows its petals best. Choose an angle with a good background.
Be sure your shadow doesn't show in the photo. (The mark of a rank amateur).
Make several different photos, watching the monitor and correcting any mistakes you might have made.
Now the email course will go into enhancement, addition of the mat, and adding lettering. Blossom on!
Here is my Lily.



Greetings to you.

Hello to you -
For your information, here are ny credentials that I feel qualify me to help you, as a Teacher!

 Many decades of concentrated Professional Photography have resulted in my being included in 5 National and State Official Archives and Histories, including:

        1.  University of Mississippi, Special Collections Division. (alongside William Faulkner). 

        2.  United States Naval Aviation Midshipmen,  (alongside Neil Armstrong of Moon Fame).

        3.  Professional Photographers of America, History and Timeline, (alongside George Eastman, who founded Kodak).

        4.  State of Mississippi Department of Archives and History for 50 plus years of Military Reunion Photos.

        5. Professional Photographers of MS-AL Past President & National Award Winner for the Photographer who contributed the most to the profession.

 I welcome you to my Blog.

 In it I will show you how to make Great Photos almost every time.

 I spent a lifetime perfecting a "Style" and have put it on a 30 page CD, called the GAHS, "Golden Age Hollywood Style".  Now, admittedly, this CD is a Professional approach to Photography, and mostly consists of Portraits and Portrait Lighting, however, the principles will lead you straight to a system that you can apply constantly on any type Photo.

In order to be of the most help, I am offering you this CD for a modest One-Time-Price of $25.00.  It is worth far more than that and represents a Lifetime of experiments and actual productivity and achievement. Your BONUS, for which you will pay nothing, is an average of 2 Posts a week, sent by email directly to you, indefinitely, featuring all types of new and proven ideas for producing exciting photographs. Also, there will be one lesser detailed Post each week on the Blog for the public. It will be just the "Tip of the Iceberg", as the "Two Emails-a-week" ones really get into the real "Tricks of the Trade". We are almost 18 years into Digital Photography and I was fortunate to be able to teach Digital Photography and Photoshop in college for several years.

I look forward to many nice Photographic experiences with you.

Below is a sample of how great Photography is Timeless and Priceless.

This photograph was taken 50 years ago and

appeared in the Beauty Section of the University of Mississippi 1962 Yearbook.
