Welcome to Uncommon Photographers!

This is my attempt to pay tribute to photographers who go into various lengths to take that perfect photo. Some are deliberate photos, but many are accidental. They just happened to be in my view finder when I took the photograph and noticed it after the fact. Enjoy and submissions are welcome.

Splash!


I think they’re having a contest as to who will blink first … :-) . The photographer is one of the members of the Filipino Chicago Flickr group who met last April 30.

More photographs from the lighting/strobist workshop conducted by Flickr and Facebook buddy, Allan Delos Reyes. Learned a lot of basics (you would think I already know how to do this, but I don’t – many of the workshops I have attended on strobes and flashes just went over my head. I always have the default reason when asked – I shoot with ambient light hahahahahah!). It’s a steep learning curve but I have to learn.

More shots and more behind the scenes …
