Always learning
This weekend I'm tagging along with a brilliant landscape photographer on one of his photo 'workshops'. He and a select group of photographers he respects go on these painstakingly researched photo trips a few times a year, and I've always been amazed at his absolutely incredible talent. Honestly, you have to check out his stuff. This trip I got invited. Little ole insignificant photo-taking me.
I'm totally stressed about it. Other then going out into nature and pointing my camera at stuff, I have no landscape photography experience. It's a whole different set of skills from portrait photography. I know I'll learn a lot, I'm just terrified that I'm going to come off as an idiot with these guys. Oh please, please, please don't make me look like an idiot! I don't even have the right equipment!
My hope for the weekend is I at least learn what in the hell a graduated neutral density filter does and how to use it. Or at least how to make clouds look pretty.
Or maybe I'll just settle for enjoying the scenery in a part of Arizona I've never been to before...

Oh I like! I was in a ton of photography classes in college but the memory thing has totally taken all that learning away. This is beautiful! I'm sure you won't look like an idiot. And who cares if you do. Really does IT really matter what people think? LOL
