I saved the image by Jerry (www.jerrydodrill.com) for last - today is the last post in this series. Jerry is easily the most energetic of our group. Not only is he younger than most of us, he's a mountain climber! Yes, he hangs off of rock faces. Free climbs too. The rest of us are older, wiser, and a just a bit more brittle. So we leave all that to Jerry. But he does bring back some amazing images.
Jerry leads workshops, and has assisted with many of the famous names in the business. Yet he never takes himself too seriously, has a great sense of humor, and can absorb any amount of playful kidding.
I said a few days ago I can't pick any favorites in our group, but Jerry definitely brings consistently excellent images for every assignment. He even wowed us one time with images of items from his refrigerator. He totally made it work. A very creative photographer for sure.
Like Tania and me, Jerry decided to shoot "through" a car window. But he used a radical technique. As the car was driving forward, he shot with a slow shutter and panned backward. As you can see, the effect is quite dramatic. I chose this one from his series because I liked the tree area on the right so much. (This technique was what I used on a few posts recently.)
He then desaturated the image so it's all about movement and forms. I love this one every time I see it. Jerry has a wide array of beautiful images on his site, and you can buy them there too. If you are thinking about a landscape photography workshop, you should check out his workshop page. Jerry also does private photography workshops, a great way to jumpstart your photography knowledge.
