Photo By Harry Lichtman Today’s Photo of the Day is “Snow Wave” by Harry Lichtman. Location: White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire. “During a blustery day in New Hampshire’s Crawford Notch, wind and snow combined to create drifts everywhere,” explains Lichtman. “I liked the static arrangement of trees in this view and used a longer exposure to render the streaking wind-blown snow more like a wave. Since there was a warm hue to the tree trunks, I decided a black-and-white rendition would be best to convey the cold conditions and the snow motion mixed with the trees.” Want to get your images in the running for a Photo of the Day feature?

Now it’s a new year, full of new opportunities and possibilities, so let’s get right to it. If like me, you like to embed your copyright and contact info directly into your images (handy in case you share images on Instagram, FB, Twitter, etc.), then it’s time to update your Lightroom Classic copyright info template for 2023 for the new images you take and import this year. It’s really simple but not super obvious, so here we go: STEP ONE: Go to the Library Module; go under the Metadata menu up top...

The word “attached” is defined in two ways: Two or more items can be physically attached when visually connected or joined together; Two things can be emotionally attached when strong feelings of affection or connection exist.

DEF 2 – It behooves us to become emotionally attached to the subjects we photograph to better understand their behavior, the weather, the light and more. Below, I’ll discuss a third definition. The more you become...
