Night Photography

Fountain in Birmingham, Michigan — Sunset shot of the fountain in Shain Park, Birmingham, MI.

Earlier this week I taught a Night Photography Workshop in Birmingham, Michigan. The city is a little torn up from construction, so we had to be selective in our compositions. Even with the construction there were plenty of great subjects to photograph. We started in Shain Park and photographed the sculptures and fountain. The clouds were stunning as the sun began to set.

Motorcycle coming straight towards my camera. — Motorcycle headlight with flare!

While demonstrating how to capture vehicles at night, I spotted this motorcycle turning the corner and heading our way. I thought the large headlight would be a great opportunity to get some creative flare, and as it worked out, it was.

This is my favorite shot of the evening. The color and patterns are just amazing. If you have never tried your hand at night photography, get your tripod out and play a little. Now is the time while we have warm summer evenings.

Headshots
I called Bob on very short notice for some pictures. I did not have any hard & fast rules so Bob’s direction and guidance was really appreciated. I felt really comfortable with Bob’s process; he & Julie helped to create a fun & casual atmosphere.
My pictures turned out just beautiful! Thank you, Bob. I’d recommend you to anyone.

Creative Workshops
Bob does a excellent job of putting together creative meetup workshops from technical setups of your camera, composition, lighting, editing images, travel arrangements and accommodations. If you haven’t experienced a workshop with Bob, your missing the chance to expand your knowledge and creativity of your photography skills along with a fun time and interesting challenges and places to photograph.
