My story begins as I was taking my sunrise walk around the top deck of the Imagination. We were visiting Key West on our first stop. I got up early enough to catch the first light of dawn. It was a golden glow that I will remember for the rest of my life. Why?

In actuality, our stroll through the park only took one afternoon. With these monthly articles, however, it's taken three months to show you what we did. I guess that one of these days I should write another book so that you can sit down at one reading and absorb it...

I began my column last month by saying, "I really never know what to expect when I'm taking one of my classes on a field trip." Boy, is that the truth! Since I began this column a couple of weeks ago I've been on several more field trips, all of which have continued to...

It's possible to overshoot the ceremony itself. What you really should be doing is capturing the highlights from various viewpoints. The concept of these pictures is to show the bride and groom what their wedding ceremony actually...

Some photographers don't take the time to consider the fundamentals of good lighting when they're working with daylight. They seem to feel as if they're working under such precarious lighting conditions, they have to turn the bride into the light to make...

Let's start with this picture of the two wedding rings resting on top of the bride's bouquet. I made it with the macro setting of my Canon 28-135mm zoom lens. I just placed the flowers down and carefully nestled the rings among them. I let the camera select its own...
