Last year I went fishing with Salvador Dali. He was using a dotted line. He caught every other fish.

Sometimes I’m so obsessed with getting a shot that I’ll repeat it day after day until the conditions are just right. Every once and awhile though, the weather gods smile down on me and give me the chance to get it all in just one take - in one perfect (all be it brief) window of time. 

And like I said yesterday on Facebook and Google+, Even with all the careful planning, the special consideration made for sun positions and cloud formations, even when I know I’m about to witness something truly remarkable, mother nature can still blow me away. 

This is also the second shot that I’ve released from my Nikon D800 and I can honestly say that the details are razor sharp. I’m totally sold, but my computer on the other hand, is still not happy about it.

Another image from this year in the rolling hills of the Palouse.

When I do my photoshoots I always take a additional shot for the make-up artist and the hair stylist.  Often times my finished product or concept might show their work from an artistic side, or from a distance, but it might not be ideal for their portfolios.  An example would be a full body fashion shot, which would show their make-up, but from a distance where it can't be truly appreciated.  I do this extra shot just for them, to make sure they have something for their portfolios.  Do any of you do this, or have comments on this practice?

This is one such shot from a recent project, and this is the one I took for the make-up artist.
