Making the Photo: Swing into Spring

Welcome to May's episode of “Making the Photo” by Dear Bubbles! For this month, I’m featuring a photograph I call “Swing into Spring" from April 2023 in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee. Hear more about how using visualization can lead to making images more quickly and efficiently in limited time, how to shoot through the decisive moment to get the extra out of the extraordinary, and critique your work based on your own definition of what a “great photograph” is. As with all the Making the Photo videos, you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at why this scene caught my eye, how I approached the scene from a creative and technical perspective, what exposure settings and other camera equipment I used, and the processing techniques I used to polish my image into my final vision. Hope you enjoy! (Since this is a Patreon-exclusive post, Patreon supporters will need to be logged into their Patreon account to access the video.
