Make no mistake, that water is freshly melted, straight from the Rocky Mountains. That means it's cold, but Cardboard Boating is a tradition and it is well attended (even when it's snowing).






At events like this (and I've been to many events), I'm always a little amazed at how many cameras there are, especially the increase in DSLR's. Though somehow I doubt the number of professional photographers has increased, I'm fairly certain the number of amateurs and enthusiasts is steadily on the rise. So the big question is: "How do you make your images stand out?"
I like to think that mine stand out because of my winning personality. I'm only partially joking. My images are all of things that I find interesting and when I compose a shot I compose a picture that I would like to see. Pretty simply, no? So when you're shooting, instead of saying "Oh! That's cool!" say "Oh! I think that's cool!" Who knew the pronoun would be so powerful? Certainly not Superman.
Also, remember, the average time someone spends looking at a picture is 3.2 seconds. Don't just click the shutter, make them stop.
