As I said in my last blog, I am learning multiple exposures. This is not that easy and I am beginning to think that the 2 great shots were the proverbial beginner’s luck. There is so much that plays into it. If I want just the stippled effect that many exposures over each other give,…
Learning new things
There is a reason to my absence for the past few weeks. I have been busy learning about Social Media (Facebook and LinkedIn) I had attended a short introductory workshop with the intention to find out about ways I could get the word out about my book, “Essence:contemplations in image and word”. BE careful what…
“Essence: contemplations in image and word”
It is heartwarming to receive such great feedback on my book Essence: contemplations in image and word. It is not just the comments I have been getting by e-mail, but also the fact that one person ordered another copy after getting the first one. I wanted to share some of the images that are in…
Finally
When visiting my family in Germany, I got ‘caught in the ash’. A week later, I finally made it out. It was an adventure as I had not brought my calendar with me. I had to remember all the appointments I had made and cancel them, to ask a friend to pick up packages I…
Kalispell: Raptor shoot
Triple D Game Farm works together with a local rescue center. This provides some income for it. The raptors we got to shoot are all birds that can no longer be released into the wild. Therefore they become ambassadors.

Face-book
After much prodding from friends, I finally joined Facebook. You can find me under Stoeffl Photography. I am still learning to navigate around. I do have some images pulled up and plan on announcing show receptions as well as poetry readings and book signings. The book “Essence: contemplations in image and word” is finally done….
Triple D – Winter Visit
Mid February, I drove up to Montana to have a Wintershoot with the animals at Triple D Game Farm. The trip up was gorgeous until I got Missoula. At that point I began to wonder about the amount of snow in Kalispell, still hoping for the best. Only, I was not that lucky. My mental…
Recent images
Recently, on my way to Montana, I was driving through Moab and Green River. I spent the late afternoon in Arches N.P., seeing it for the first time with snow. Sadly the weather was not that great with many clouds around. The next morning, I continued on and the area around Green River was a…
Lines, S-Curves
Lines can play an important part in taking images. They are also an easy aspect. Some examples of a line: a road, a row of trees or shrubs, a fence, a course of water. The ‘line’ is placed so it leads the viewer into the image. Don’t forget that shadows can also serve as lines….
