Saturation is another issue to address in Digital Photography. There is a fine line between too much saturation and not enough. I prefer to adjust in processing rather than in camera, so I go for more neutral settings vs. fine tuning while shooting. Either way you do it works. Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom both allow fine tuning in this instance.There are some scenarios that call for more saturation while others require less. Just a hint of color saturation can give a picture a surreal look and get you that look you want to achieve.

I like to photograph things with substance. What I mean to say is that my eye is drawn towards textures and shapes in living things and inanimate objects as well. In direct sunlight you must be very aware not to burn out the highlights of the picture and cause your exposure to be too contrasty. So there is a fine line in preserving the full range of  your photograph with the proper exposure. My advice is to shoot RAW images and adjust in Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom. A few examples . . . .

Travel or vacation Photography is timeless. Five, ten or twenty years from now you can look at them and relive the emotions of when you were there with a friend, relative or spouse. Or there could possibly be things or people you never noticed before, so your vacation pictures are new and exciting to you all over again. A few more examples:

The one thing I like so much about photography is the fact that you can sit your camera on the shelf or pack it up in the bag and forget about taking pictures for a while. Whether or not that is a day or two or a few weeks or even a few months, that is entirely up to you. Then, out of the blue you will be looking online and perhaps you see a great picture or reading a magazine and see something that catches your eye, and you get totally re - enthused to go out and take some pictures.
Nothing gets my juices going though like taking a trip and going to an entirely new environment with my camera bag. A new city or town to take photographs gets my senses at their pinnacle. I tend to get absorbed in colors, textures and architecture. My eyes are paying extra attention to detail. I constantly look for interesting looking people to take candid pictures of their everyday life. I record the memories I want to have of my trip, and you should always do the same. There is not standard when it comes to your personal preference. I have posted a few examples.

The new high-end digital cameras are so versatile.They allow you to be so creative in different light levels. I come from the film generation and in low light situations such as concerts, many photographers would use 400 speed film and push process it to 800 Asa to increase the range to get the desired results. Nowadays that is not a issue because of the digital camera's ability to change the iso settings midstream and go from say 400 ISO to 1200 or even 2000 with great results. So at concerts I utilize a number of methods of photography. If permitted, I will bounce flash and utilize natural stage lights for different effects, constantly changing the ISO settings. I usually shoot in Aperture mode to focus solely on the entertainer not on the stage. The following photographs of Blues Musicians are examples of that technique.
