How much time do you spend in Photoshop?
Some photos require just a moment or two in Photoshop, while others requires more time. On average, I spend between 5-15 minutes per photo.
Mediocre Skills or Being Artistic?
We often here the explanation that it is an ‘Artistic photo” – Do photographers disguise their mediocre photography skills as “artistic”?
Using Human Elements in your Photos
Humans are part of nature, and sometimes a human element can add an interesting or emotional point of interest to your landscape photograph.
I could start off like this – “Seeds of Jay Patel’s success were planted early in his childhood….” but it would get boring really fast. I will just sum it up this way...
I am a Program Manager, Website Designer, Photographer, Avid Biker who loves to experiment… take risks… break the rules… have fun… in pursuit of inspiration and creativity. I have 15+ years of program management experience with highly complex hardware & software development cycles.
....and one more thing. I love nature photography and my work has been sold and published worldwide.
