September 2009: Focal Finesse
Written on October 10, 2009, Posted in smugmug customization examples, the latestAtlanta Georgia area photographer specializes in wedding, portrait and nature photography.
Photographer Moshe Jacobson enjoys photography because it challenges him both “artistically and technically”.
Moshe states “there is also a huge range of styles and subject matter to choose from with photography, so I’ll never get bored with it.
I really enjoy nature photography because it combines my two biggest passions: photography and the outdoors.”
Moshes nature photography story:
“A few summers ago, I was hiking through Yellowstone National Park, and saw a cool flower. I wanted a certain effect, so I spent some time changing my camera settings, and took a few shots. I got up and continued walking down the trail, when suddenly an animal I’d never seen before jumped in front of me. I fumbled with my camera, but got it to my eye quick enough to catch some pretty good shots of this strange rust-colored animal that looked kind of like a weasel. Once it scampered away, I turned excitedly to my camera to chimp my shots, but realized that I had forgotten to reset my aperture from before, and it was still set at f/22! Needless to say, the shutter speed was way too slow and the blurred shots were a sad testament to a great opportunity completely missed. Only one other time have I had the good fortune to see a Pine Marten in the wild, and I’m happy to say that the second time around I got shots that were at least decent.”
Moshe cites “I think the simplicity of my website design enables my clients to get to what they’re looking for with a minimum of distraction and a clean, professional look. It’s fast, straight forward and attractive.”
