Shooting Outside Gallery

    I have to Show my Fan Natic Attitude And because Seahawk Fans are known as the 12th Man       Who can tell who will win, but certainly because I am a Washington State artist I am placing my belief in the Seahawks.  Last weeks comeback in the last few minutes by the Seahawks was one for the record books. This Super Bowl, is being played by the two best teams, and they are both 4th quarter teams. If last weeks game was a nail biter, this game could be one too. Here's hoping Sherman's elbow won't prevent him from using his regular technique.    Russel will need to be able to reach his receivers and be able to scramble, but my feelings are unless he relies on more than running, the Seahawks will have a rough day. Patriots QB Tom Brady has 3 extremely reliable receivers but if they avoid Sherman, and make connections, the game could sway in favor of the Pats.

Can you explain how you shoot? Take a few of your best shots, and try explaining to someone the "how" of your shooting those particular shots. Why did you choose the physical position for that composure? Why did you choose the time of the day, if that shot was influenced by outdoor, natural light? Why did you change settings to achieve a specific capture? Why did you select a particular lens over another? If you were to go out again, could you duplicate that shot, in order to further perfect it? Would you make any lens or camera body changes? Would you treat it exactly the same way you did in a photo editing program, such as Photoshop?  Could you then tell someone exactly how to achieve the same effect, considering all of the above, assuming they needed advice? How to Accomplish If your answers to the above questions are more on the iffy side, let me make a suggestion that will help you in future OutsideShooting, (allow me license to coin a word).
