https://getdarker.com/editorial/articles/358rxy3vg1 I had the great pleasure to be assigned to photograph Montana Shakespeare in the Parks once more on the opening night of their 40th anniversary last Wednesday night at Montana State University in Bozeman.  I shot the troupe in 2010 for The Big Sky Journal and have enjoyed the plays for years before that.

watch There’s something magical about Shakespeare, and that magic only multiplies when performed outside under a Montana sky.

https://alldayelectrician.com/kct5zzs7 Shooting theatre is always difficult.  Stage lighting is in no way conducive to traditional photography – lighting is often red or blue and obtaining a correct exposure is challenging.  Add to that the dimension of being outside on a stage, and things really become complicated.

https://penielenv.com/u17adl460ly Using a few creative manual settings, a handmade filter and a little post-production goodness, the images from the performance are now in a cohesive, artistic series.  Using a grain filter to add a slightly off-focus and granulated look ages the images, and desaturating slightly draws focus to the shape and form of the actors, not merely the vibrant costumes and lighting.

Tramadol Purchase Uk As always, experiment.  Find the photographic style that matches your creative eye and go for it.

First Look at Yesterday’s Storm

Tramadol Cheapest Price We had a pretty decent spring storm roll through yesterday, bringing rain, hail and high winds.

follow While I enjoyed the first part of the storm as I was out in the Fire Girl Suby chasing bad weather and capturing photos, the rest of the event was not so enjoyable.  Mopping up water pouring in through the (closed) windows and the roof of my apartment did, however, make for a memorable night.

Last Two Days for Think Tank Photo Test Drive Program!

by Fire Girl Jess on June 12, 2013

The Think Tank Photo Retrospective series test drive program sign up closes on 15 June – only two more days to sign up and try a Retrospective series bag for free!

Camera bags are a personal decision, but I can’t rave enough about my Retrospective 40.  Today it spent the morning in the fly shop with me, and the afternoon chasing after severe thunderstorms in the Montana brush.  Any bag that can keep up with me and make my job easier makes me happy.

Read about the test drive program here:

With the Test Drive program you get to try out any of Think Tank’s very popular Retrospective go here ® soft shoulder bags for 30 days for free!  Should the shoulder bag meet your needs, then your credit card will be charged at the close of the trial period.  Should it not meet your needs, return it within the Test Drive time period and your card won’t be charged.  The Retrospective series was created as an homage to classic photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Frank.  Designed for the photographer who wants to remain inconspicuous in any situation, its “old-school” look mixes with “new-school” features giving tribute to the days when bags were visually simple but highly functional.  It comes in nine models and three colors.  This offer is good only on shipments to U.S. addresses.
 

Use this link to sign up for the test drive!

Spring transitions into summer in Big Sky Country.

Spring transitions into summer in Big Sky Country.

This update is a bit late due to issues on the home front, but give the latest “Dispatches From Craig” post on Chi Wulff a read!

Also, if you are in the mood for some fly fishing-gear-goodness, give yesterday’s The Headhunter post a quick read.

Commercial and editorial projects are booking up for summer and fall – it should be a good season.
