5 tips to Improve your photography right now without buying new gear

Do you want to improve your photography? One of the questions I get the most is how can I improve my photography?

Thre are many whats to improve your photography. I created this video in efforts to answer this common question and also to share with you what I do on a daily basis to improve my skills. It is not really rocketing science, all it takes its a bit of effort, and a desire to learn and master the craft. 

In order to improve your photography, you need to understand one thing. Photography is about telling a compelling story, nothing more. If you think about it, all the great photos ever taken from the past, have been created with a camera that is older and not as technologically advanced as yours. Do you think Amsel Addams had a Nikon D850? Do not focus too much on the gear, focus on your story and how to tell it well. 

My favorite is number one. Just leave the house. Go outside and get inspired. It is a lot harder to find inspiration inside your house. As soon as you step outside your house and get that breath of fresh air, everything changes.

This years election

I hate to talk about politics, but this is the most important election of our lives. I beg every American to vote, we have a lunatic on the ballot and he must be stopped. I shot this to show that America is very much great and the American dream is very much alive.

About the picture. This is a long exposure shot with a 10 stop ND Filter. I have also included a video of the edit.

Kissed by the sun

Rise and shine, today is the best day ever!!! I woke up at 4am to track Mathews but it is still very peaceful here in Miami. I went to the beach and it was completely empty (even after the sun came up), there is a mild wind carrying an eerie energy with it. There are city workers cleaning up the beach preparing for Mathews, who knows what is going to happen. Here is what I saw, I felt I was being kissed by the sun. This was shot on Oct 5th before hurricane Mathew…

7 mile bridge from a drone

I shot these from my drone on my last trip to Key West. This is the 7 mile bridge, one of my favorite places to fly a drone from.

I come here often and every time I do I bring my drone. I can go on and on about shooting with a drone, but instead I have made a video about it I also explain how I get the water to look the way it does. Scroll to the bottom of this post and check out the video.
