The Siggins Photography Blog: Previsualization
http://thesiggins.blogspot.com/2015/07/previsualization.html
Visit The Siggins Photo Gallery. Saturday, July 25, 2015. The concept of previsualization in photography is where the photographer can see the final print before the image has been captured. Ansel Adams dedicates the beginning of his first book to previsualization, and is often quoted as saying “Visualization is the single most important factor in photography”. From Graham Clark Photography. The end photo is not exactly what I had previsualized in my mind. With the clouds in the background, it doesn'...

The Siggins Photography Blog: Better Than Sealing A Driveway
http://thesiggins.blogspot.com/2015/06/better-than-sealing-driveway.html
Visit The Siggins Photo Gallery. Sunday, June 7, 2015. Better Than Sealing A Driveway. I had to make a choice between two options for Saturday. The first option was putting down asphalt sealer on our driveway, which is what I had planned for Saturday. The second option was to spend the morning with June riding bikes around the Cades Cove loop in the Smoky Mountains. The driveway sealer will certainly keep for a few more weeks. Click any photo for a larger view or go to my Online Gallery. The only people ...

The Siggins Photography Blog: Beyond Iconic Photos - Iconic Time Lapse
http://thesiggins.blogspot.com/2015/05/beyond-iconic-photos-iconic-time-lapse.html
Visit The Siggins Photo Gallery. Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Beyond Iconic Photos - Iconic Time Lapse. Sometimes there are limited options which leads to everyone's photo looking the same. An example is Triple Falls in Dupont State Forest. There is really only one place to stand where you can see most of the falls. This has led to everyone's photos looking pretty much the same. I tried to be different by converting to black and white. Also taken at Butchart. As is this one. I have no idea what kind of f...

The Siggins Photography Blog: November 2014

Visit The Siggins Photo Gallery. Sunday, November 23, 2014. The college football season is rapidly approaching the end of the regular season and the beginning of the bowls. Going wide is something we'll hear when talking about football wideouts and wide receivers. Maybe we'll hear it this Saturday in the Florida - Florida State game, but I'm afraid the passing will favor the Seminoles this year. The typical way to use a wide angle is to capture a big wide landscape scene. Cable Mill @ 24mm. In the photo ...

The Siggins Photography Blog: Packing for a Big Photo Trip
http://thesiggins.blogspot.com/2015/08/packing-for-big-photo-trip.html
Visit The Siggins Photo Gallery. Sunday, August 9, 2015. Packing for a Big Photo Trip. I've started the process of going through my collection of camera gear and trying to deciding what to take on our trip to Alaska and what to leave behind. It's not always possible to take everything when traveling by airline. Realistically I know I will not be able to bring everything on this trip. With the addition of one more lens and the waterproof camera I'll be out of compartments in the bag. I'm going to ...I hop...

http://thesiggins.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Visit The Siggins Photo Gallery. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. A great idea, with some problems. I use a polarizer filter most of the time when I'm shooting outdoors in the day time. The good news is I have four lenses that all use the same size filter so I have only had to buy one. The bad news is that means I am constantly taking the filter off one lens and putting it on another. This is a royal pain. I was excited to learn about a new product that seemed to address the painful parts of swapping a. After th...

http://thesiggins.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Visit The Siggins Photo Gallery. Wednesday, August 19, 2015. Recently spent a couple days with some great friends in the Smoky Mountains taking photos and enjoying each other's company. The day before I got there they were treated to a spectacular sunrise from the Foothills Parkway. Sunrise by Miles Smith. You can see they were blessed by spectacular colors, light, and God Beams shooting through the clouds. I wasn't able to be there because I couldn't take the time off from work. I've only lived long eno...
