Inspiration from the Eagle

Inspiration from the Eagle By Kathleen Reeder Soaring majestically with grace, With commanding courage and strength, Carrying our prayers and dreams on its wings, On the bridge between heaven and earth. The chief over all winged creatures, Alert with keen sight and no fear, Our symbol for personal freedom, To choose when to fight or to take flight. Spread your wings… soar as the eagle, Expand your view… stretch your limits, Ride the storm’s fierce wind waves…

Cool Gadget: MagMod Flash Modifier System

Do you use an external flash that slides into the hot shoe of your camera? If so, you’ll want to get the MagMod system to diffuse, extend and control the light from your flash. It’s the coolest gadget in town. I use it exclusively when using flash. It has replaced my Gary Fong Lightsphere, Lumiquest Softboxes and Better Beamers. No more velcro straps and flimsy attachments. It’s sturdy and fast to assemble. It’s pricier than the alternatives, but well worth the…

Secrets to Photographing Horses by Bev Pettit

I began my career as an equine photographer when I moved back to the USA in 1996, after having lived in China and Europe for nine years. While living overseas I worked for a large American investment bank in publishing. During my free time I…
