Summer Storms Across Myakka Lake

steve — Wed, 16 May 2012 14:42:43 +0000

Nice view of the lake and a storm moving away from it. Myakka has beautiful weather this time of year. The resurrection ferns start to come back with these first rains and everything gets green. Summer has officially started when the clouds start looking like this.

The wildlife was everywhere too. Every 30 seconds there would be a huge explosion out in the lilly pads. Must have been bass or a big gar – it was pretty impressive. I even saw an alligator eat a poor defenseless turtle. He really had to chew to make that work!

Cool panoramics from the Sarasota Sailing Squadron. The squadron is a Sarasota institution. The demographic is interesting too – it’s 50% hippies, 50% preppies – makes for some classic parties at the facility. They are ALL serious racers though. Want to start a conversation at the sailing squadron? Just ask someone about racing then sit back and let them go.

Sarasota Photographers – Steve Schadt

There are hundreds of Sarasota photographers. What sets Steve Schadt Photography apart?

1. Quality Equipment – Serious lights and serious cameras are critical to professional results. You can take a great photo with an Iphone but when you need really professional results having pro equipment and knowing how to use it is critical.

2. Photoshop and Design – photography is a digital medium – if someone tells you they’re still using film they’re probably taking crazy pills. Digital is more sensitive and more flexible than film, period. However, digital creates huge files and requires relatively massive computers to handle it effectively. You need a photographer with the background and horsepower to deal with these files efficiently and effectively.

3. Eye For Detail – it’s all in the details. Planning and preparation is absolutely essential to a good outcome. Trust someone with a background in art direction and design to make sure everything is prepared for every time. Details make all the difference.

4. Editorial Focus – We shoot to tell stories. This gives you a better magazine story, wedding or advertising shoot. The very best images tell as story and create emotion. We really focus on that.

5. Explosive color – We shoot colorful stuff. We like colorful stuff. the human eye likes colorful stuff. get some photos that really pop.

6. Flexible and fun – It’s fun to make photos. It’s fun to work with people. We work fast but we stay flexible. Don’t hire someone you don’t want to work with. A great working relationship is the foundation of great photos.

7. Experience – 15 years experience working with national clients. We get your concept, get your vision, then get to work. We understand you only want to shoot this once. We know how to quickly get you the results you need… on schedule and under budget.

Florida Fishing Photographer – Steve Schadt

Fishing photography is just as much about place as anything. You have to shoot the story. Every morning at sunrise is often the best lighting of the whole day. I like to get out there early or late and avoid the harsh light of the middle of the day. This is a Cool tarpon fishing shot of everyone getting ready at the Hawk’s Key Marina and the flats boat TarponTime.com
