Over the past month or so, I have had little time for creative photography but have been able to read a little bit and thought I'd pass on some suggestions. Joe McNally's excellent books; The Hot Shoe Diaries and The Moment it Clicks are both exceptional books and need to be on your shelf if you want to light anything with speedlights. I have also been following David DuChemin's excellent blog at http://www.pixelatedimage.com/blog/and found that I really resonate with what David has to say about finding personal vision. One of the things David advocates is practice using our photographic muscle, something I know I need to do more of.
On a recent business trip, I carried my G10 and took photos out the window of the airplane which was my only option for shooting anything on the trip. If nothing else, it did exercise my mind and eye as I searched for patterns, texture and light. Here are a couple from that trip.
