Birds are very interesting creatures, but it’s not so easy to photograph them. Wild birds usually don’t pose where you want and, moreover, it’s often difficult to get close enough to take quality pictures. But if you know some basics of bird photography, it becomes much easier to capture amazing moments of the birds’ life.
One Brief Moment
"A photograph is a stop in time for just one brief moment." – Charles Dobbs Photography
Let’s face the facts; lugging a tripod isn’t always a fun way to take pictures. Ignoring the obvious complaints, which include their size and weight, tripods are actually becoming banned in a number great shooting locations. Unfortunately, hand holding a camera in low light can be extremely difficult and many honest attempts result in soft images.
Thankfully, any of these three techniques will greatly improve the likelihood of sharp hand-held images.

I wake up in the morning, go downstairs while two little dogs follow me to go outside. While they do their business I get my morning coffee brewed and sit down on my MacBook to catch up on today’s events. Check e-mail and look…what do I have here? I have made a framed print sale on one of my photographs! This is the fourth sale of this photo and though I do not know the people who chose to purchase this photo, my best guess is that they are Longhorns in some way or another.
So a BIG THANKS goes out to the person who made this purchase and thanks to all the people out there who continue to support my work. It truly makes my day! GO HORNS!!!

Composition for a photograph is like a screenplay for a movie. If the picture isn’t composed well, it won’t strike a cord with the viewer regardless of the technical expertise or the story being told. Composition skills improve over time with constant practice. Here are some of the basic composition tips with a picture to illustrate each of those tips. The example pictures were all taken in one day while driving through Eastern Washington. These tips will help train your eyes to see the frames, an important point if you want to take great pictures.
