Natural Lighting Tips from Bob Holmes – Natural Light in Travel Photos

03 Nov

www.silberstudios.tv Who better to get natural lighting tips from than a three-time Travel Photographer of the Year award-winner? We’re at the studio of photographer Bob Holmes for today’s Marc Silber Show – Advancing Your Photography! He shares some techniques you can use to work with natural light and take better photos, no matter where your travels may take you. Bob has been all over the world and his travel photos have appeared in National Geographic, Departures, and 46 books as the sole photographer. Working outdoors on most of his trips, Holmes is an expert at using natural lighting in photos. He loves looking at natural light, and his unique tip is that you need to picture light the way your camera sees it, rather than the way you see it. And the key to learning how to use natural lighting is to practice — you can’t become a great photographer in a week, but you will get there by shooting as much as you can.

Here is my Epiphone Sheraton II again but now with new wiring and TV Jones Classic pick up’s. I like this song but i am not 100 % sure if i play everything correct. Anyway it sounds good to me and its fun to play (without a slide). I don’t have a mini slide. I am also testing the Video mode of my DSLR Nikon D90. Its in HD, but i am still looking for the best settings, so room for improvement here. Gear used: Epiphone Sheraton II, AxeFX Ultra, Liquid-Foot Jr. (look at the lower right corner), Cakewalk Sonar 8 PE Video: Nikon D90, Final Cut Express 4 Enjoy !
