HT2026 - Base Camp During this last couple of weeks of photography, I was reminded how much I prefer a base camp approach to travel. We've been doing the opposite. We stopped for a night, maybe two, then move on to the next location. That doesn't leave a lot of time for photography, but worse doesn't leave a lot of time to get to know a place well.…

HT2025 - Statistical Needs Like most "serious" photographers, I have several lenses I carry with me to provide the ideal solution for various shooting scenarios. Statistically however, my Lightroom catalog shows I only need one lens - - at least for 75% of my shots. That can't be right.Oleh Brooks Jensen

LW1420 - How Many Images in Your Project Perhaps the most common mistake I see in others' project-oriented photography is a need for more ruthless editing. I wish I wasn't guilty of this myself, but I am. We are invested in all our precious images and we want each and every one to have its moment in the spotlight. Too much, however, leads to boredo…

The sun itself is rarely in my pictures, but every picture has its shadows. Said another way, shadows are a part of the visual composition, the sun is usually outsi…

HT2023 - Initial Disappointment My first look at the images I captured that day are often a disappointment. Is that because the memory of them is too fresh? I've observed over the years that my initial disappointment often converts to excitement when I work on an image sometime later.Oleh Brooks Jensen

HT2022 - Close Your Eyes We photographers are such visual people that our sense of sight can overwhelm our experience. I often find it useful to close my eyes and let my other senses open to the experience. Strangely enough, when I reopen my eyes I see differently and more deeply. All 2000+ episodes of Here's a Thought . . . are available in their …

HT2021 - Retracing the Circle I spent the day yesterday photographing in Custer State Park here in South Dakota. A strategy I often use was my modus operandi yesterday: I retraced my morning route in the afternoon, but in the opposite direction. Different light, different clouds, different moods and moments. All previous episodes of Here's a Though…

HT2020 - Not a Wildlife Photographer I've made no secret that I am not a wildlife photographer. But there I was, in Custer State Park in South Dakota surrounded by buffalo. How do I not make a few pictures? Do we have to have a purpose? Does our photography have to be serious? Is fun a sufficient excuse for pulling out the camera?…
