Stars Above Us

Here is a shot that was taken in Show Low, Arizona. There is a little light pollution towards the bottom of the Milky Way, but it doesn't bother me too much. Let me know what you think of the shot in the comments. Tech Specs: 25 Sec Exposure, F3.5, ISO 5000, Nikon D7000, Sigma 18-50 Lens.

The Photographer's Eye Book Review

I'm currently reading The Photographer's Eye by Michael Freeman. This is probably one of the best books on the market for composition in photography. Having read quite a few books about composition, I have always been frustrated by the lack of depth on the subject. Most books just tell you how to compose a specific scene, but not why. Michael Freeman explores how the eye processes an image, and how the elements interact with one another. He discusses the thought process behind great compositions, and shows why some things just don't work. The book is filled with top notch photography and is a great read for anyone who would like to truly understand composition. Even people who paint or draw could benefit from this book, since it is really about making excellent compositions and not so much about cameras. The only thing that stops me from recommending this to absolutely everyone, is that the reading is very heavy. You will learn a lot from the book, but some of it may be difficult to understand, especially if you're a beginning artist. My rating 5/5
