Grow method and strains:
I grow hempy with perlite and soil using Doc Bud's High Brix Blend kit. As to the chemovars I grow, you'll always find CBD Critical Cure from Barney's Farm, Carnival by Ministry of Carnival, Candy Cane from Crop King Seeds (mine may be another photo instead of the auto it was advertised to be), and the Jamaican bag seed I brought back from my visit last year.
You'll also see Dark Devil Auto, Blue Dream, and Thin Mint GSC in regular rotation, as well as the amazing Devil's Carnival. I have four flowering spaces and a closet for autos. It's an eclectic garden and I have more seeds than I'll ever be able to grow.
Camera, Lenses and Gear:
I'm a point-and-shoot wrangler of an iPhone 6.
Experience level and photography background:
I'm an artist my nature and training and a photographer by necessity. This is a visual neighborhood. I hope to show the garden and any process I'm demonstrating in interesting, visually appealing ways. You deserve my best.
What is your style? (portrait, journal, macro, outdoor, instructional, various)
I'd say casual. I want you to feel like you were standing right there with me.
Favourite lens or type of shot:
A crisp,unusual angle that catches the eye with a splash of color added somewhere for a little zip.
If you could give 1 tip for new photographers:
Take lots and lots of pictures and crop. Best advice my daughter ever gave me (she's a natural behind the camera) was that almost every picture can be improved with cropping.
Other introductory options:
Please share 1 of you favourite photos and explain why it works so well for you. What equipment did you use?
I'm an artist drawn to the beauty of the line, which makes cannabis particularly delightful to photograph. I'm also fond of too many of my photos to pick a favorite, but this one does it for me on many levels.
* It's an odd angle, which is visually interesting enough to draw up you in.
* The photo illustrates both lighting sources used for this plant.
* The line is stunning.
* Color splash from the glass beads pulls the eye into the picture.
* I like the depth, from in your face to the sky beyond the window.
* The colors work for me. I think this is a visually stimulating photo, and that's my primary goal with every shot.
Please share 1 technique you use in a step by step how-to.
