What is going on here?‚
Where does the ladder go?
Are there treats at the end of the ladder?
This photograph is an excellent example of lens compression. For those that may not know, longer lenses tend to compress the foreground and background while wide angle lenses tend to do the reverse. I shot this scene on 1 frame from about 50 feet away. The white in the background is actually a massive container filled with oil and the ladder is part of that container. The tree is actually about 20 feet in front of the container.
I shot this scene from my car while snow was lightly falling. Exif data — Shot at ISO (The light was quickly fading)‚1000 F-16 at 1/400 at the long end of my 70–200 zoom lens. You can click the image to make it tastier on the eyes.
No worries Marko, I understand. I’m glad you have a long list of topics. I’m looking forward to them all. Thanks for the tips and links.
Hey thanks for the comment Mikael. Thanks as well for the podcast suggestion. Maybe one day I’ll try that topic but for now I have too many actual photography podcasts planned to consider doing one on marketing blogs…plus, honestly — I’m just not the best marketer…
But I don’t want you to go away empty handed so here goes. Here’s 3 tips to getting blog visitors.
1 — Post useful material often (daily is best)
2 — Comment on a few related blogs regularly. The more useful the comment, the better.
3 — Read and subscribe to other marketing blogs/podcasts. 2 that I know are excellent are Six pixels of separation and Marketing Over Coffee
Hope that helps,
Marko
Nice shot, you really got me there. You got a really good eye for interesting shots.
I have a suggestion for a topic you might want to bring up in one of you future podcasts, not too
though; The top things to do to get people to visit and comment your blog (no podcast though). I have a pretty new blog that I haven’t really marketed yet. It’s all about make my photos being seen and to share my hobby photography life. I hope you like the idea.
Thanks!
Mikael
