Read the non-sale related posts on the Twitter feed from White House Custom Color (#whccpro) to collect great tips on photographing smarter.

Tidbits can save you many missed opportunities.  Here are a few examples:

  • Use your meter's spot focus option in backlit or difficult mixed lighting situations to read off the subject.
  • Writers get better by reading, photographers get better by looking at lots of photographs.
  • Lightroom running slow? Try replacing *or trashing* Lightroom prefs. Also try running w/ smaller catalogs.
  • Stuck in a rut? Find a theme. Colors, shapes, weather, transportation, water, rock, wood, etc.
  • Pano best practices. Use a tripod. Constant aperture & WB. Shoot overlapping shots by 20-30%, keep cam level
