Amature Hour


As a professional photographer, there are a few things that are absolutely necessary to bring along for any photo shoot. One of the most important items on that list is an SD card. Unfortunately, I learned that lesson the hard way after a recent evening out with my wife and daughter.


We were driving home after grabbing a quick bite to eat when the sunset caught my eye. It was one of the most beautiful sunsets I had ever seen and I knew that I had to capture it with my camera. I pulled over to the side of the road and began to set up my shot, only to discover that I had left all of my SD cards at home.


I couldn't believe it. I had been so focused on getting out of the house quickly that I completely forgot the most essential part of my photography gear. I quickly searched my camera bag and pockets, hoping to find even a spare SD card, but to no avail. I was left feeling frustrated and disappointed.


But then I remembered the old saying, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." I decided to make the most of the situation and take advantage of the technology I had on hand. I pulled out my phone and used it to capture a few shots of the stunning sunset.


While the photos weren't of the same quality that I could have achieved with my camera, they still turned out pretty well. In fact, they turned out well enough that I decided to share them on my social media pages. I also shared the story of my forgetfulness and the lesson I learned from it.


The lesson is simple: never leave home without your SD cards. And if you do, make the most of the situation and use the technology you have on hand. You never know what you might capture.


In the end, the photos I captured with my phone received a lot of engagement and positive feedback from my followers. It was a reminder that sometimes, the most unexpected situations can lead to great results.

Uncovering the History of Reidsville's Iconic Lucky Strike Smoke Stack

Image
As a photographer, I'm always on the lookout for interesting subjects to capture through my lens. One day, I stumbled upon the iconic Lucky Strike smoke stack in Reidsville, NC, and knew I had to photograph it. The Lucky Strike smoke stack stands tall at an impressive 180 feet and is a symbol of the rich history of Reidsville. The Lucky Strike building was built in the early 1900s and was originally used as a tobacco factory. The building's prominent feature, the smoke stack, was added later in the 1920s. It was used to release smoke from the tobacco curing process, and it quickly became a distinctive feature of the Reidsville skyline. As I walked around the building, I couldn't help but feel the weight of its history. This building has seen so much change over the years, from a thriving tobacco factory to its abandonment in the late 1990s. The building was eventually bought by a local businessman who has been working to renovate and restore the building and the smoke stack...

The Importance of Personal Projects in Photography: How to Keep Your Creativity Flowing

What's up, guys! Today we're going to talk about something that's been on my mind lately: the importance of personal projects in photography. Now, I know a lot of us out there are making a living off of our photography work, which is amazing. But sometimes, we can get so caught up in client work that we forget why we got into photography in the first place: our love for capturing moments, telling stories, and creating art.

They're a chance for you to experiment with new techniques, explore different genres of photography, and push your own boundaries. Plus, they're a great way to keep your creativity flowing and your passion for photography alive. Now, I know what you're thinking: "But Peter, I'm already so busy with client work. How am I supposed to find the time for personal projects?" Well, my f...

How to Use Color Theory in Your Photography

 As photographers, we are constantly striving to create visually stunning images that capture the essence of our subject matter. One way to achieve this is through the use of color theory. Color can have a profound impact on the mood and emotion of an image, and understanding how to use it effectively can take your photography to the next level. In this blog post, we'll dive into the world of color theory and explore how to use it to create captivating images. First, let's start with the basics. Color theory is the study of how colors interact with each other and how they can be combined to create a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing image. It is based on three primary colors: red, yellow, and blue. These three colors are then combined to create secondary colors: orange, green, and purple. From there, tertiary colors are created by mixing a primary color with a secondary color. Now that we have the basics down, let's explore how to use color theory in your photography. O...
