Charles Bush Photography October 2025 Newsletter
As I prepare for the Fall tours, I’ve gathered a few posts that might help you plan your next adventure — whether you’re joining me on a Louisiana photo tour, fine-tuning your Nikon Z8, or just refining your post-processing workflow.
Planning a Photo Shoot
When I managed large IT projects, we followed the “5 P’s” rule — Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance. The same holds true for photography. Here’s how I plan each shoot to maximize results:
December Fall Cypress Photo Tour
Only one Louisiana Fall Cypress Photo Tour remains this season. December often brings fog and mist — my favorite conditions for swamp photography. Crisp mornings, warm water, and golden light combine for magical reflections.
Louisiana Spring Bird Photo Tours
Spring in Louisiana brings nesting wading birds — egrets, spoonbills, and herons — surrounded by buttonbush and cypress. These three tours are timed to capture courtship, nesting, and chicks on the nest.
Photography Consulting: Cameras, Computers & Workflow
With 20+ years as a professional photographer — and a prior career in IT — I help photographers optimize their Nikon Z8 setups, improve Lightroom workflows, and safeguard their images.
