Smugmug

Here are my thoughts on smugmug. I really like smugmug. They have great customer service, although that they don't do the phone service what they do works. They use email and you get a response with in an hour. They are a real nice small group of people that really care. If you haven't checked out my smugmug go ahead and do it. www.torstenbangerter.smugmug.com

Photo Boutique Idea

So today I went to Boutique that was selling halloween crafts and furniture and other stuff people had made. Then I had this Idea that I could have a photo boutique, gallery, or whatever you want to call it, where some photographers could get together and sell some fine art and landscapes prints. Though I don't really have an idea of how to organize it. So I wonder if people would be interested in this sort of dealio. Please comment your thoughts on this Idea.

Slow down, get the shot.

Tricks on to get nice fall colors.

Here is an example of some fall colors that I took in sundance a couple weeks ago.

On the one in the left the colors dont seem to pop as much. But in the one in the right they are really nice. To make the colors pop you need to use an editing sofware like Photoshop, Lightroom, iPhoto, or any other photo editing software. Most photo software even the not so powerful programs have a Saturation adjustment. To give it more color we want to add more saturation. Add until you get what you like.

Something else to do is use something to create contrast. In this example I shot a white flower in front of the nice red and oranges.

Feel free to adjust and move anything around to get a creative shot. My friend placed this leaf on the bridge and look what awesome shot I got.

Another thing to do is pay attention to your surroundings. As we were walking about I saw this awesome stream and had to caught a shot of it.

Fall is a great time to get a great shots. I hope you have a lot of fun butting these tips in to practice.

Slow down and get the shot,

Awesome session at Vivian Park {Utah Wedding Photographer}

I had some incredible amounts of fun at Provo Canyon with Jen and Dana a few weeks ago.

We first started up in Vivian Park. The colors there were really nice.

After chilling in Vivian Park we shot some stuff at some train tracks near by.

Then we ended our journey in Aspen Grove.

Some pics from sundance
