GENERAL NOTES (Parking, etc.)
This is what everybody calls The Big Tree, and it's certainly one of my favorite things about doing photos & video at the Des Moines Marina Beach Park. I love how it provides beautiful compositional framing for just about any shot you want to catch...and especially how it changes throughout the year during different seasons. If I get a chance, I'll capture pictures (and video) in the different weather conditions. The waves can be fun to watch in mild windstorms!
*As A.I. (artificial intelligence) started sneaking into the photo & video production industries, I decided to go for 100% realism in my work. What this means for me, is to shoot for realistic-looking photos and video content. My approach includes using custom, lens-sensor specific CAMERA SETTINGS (and sometimes lens-sensor LUTs when needed). I never use A.I. to generate images, and I don't do tricks using Photoshop. There are adjustments I make to produce more accurate PRINTS but my goal is to limit editing as much as possible.
