Hi, this is anybody in X, and welcome to another episode of the Candid Frame.

Several months back, I had the opportunity to interview nature and landscape photographer Jay Patel,

who's an amazing photographer and who's well-known in that community of photographers who like

to photograph the natural world. But I only had the opportunity to tell half the story,

because the other half is his wife, Verena Patel, who's just as accomplished as a photographer and writer and instructor of photography as he is.

It's not often that I have the opportunity to interview a husband and wife who share the same passion for photography.

And it's always interesting to get their different perspectives in terms of how they approach photography and just practice something that they love to do.

So I hope you enjoy our conversation with Verena Patel.

This episode of The Candid Frame is sponsored by Adobe Lightroom 4.

Perfect your photography from shoot to finish with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 software.

Now, one of the things that you discover as you start shooting with a digital camera

is that the file that you produce in camera is just

your starting point.

It's the raw material by which you get to see your vision to completion.

And the developed module in Lightroom 4 has all the tools that you need in order to see

that through.

From cropping your images to color correction to sharpening to everything imaginable,

you'll find within this one great application. It makes a huge difference in my photography.

And when I see my images through to that final print or when I posted online,

Lightroom provides me everything that I need in order to make sure that that image is optimized to its full potential.

And I think you'll find the same for your own images.

And if you haven't tried Lightroom 4, now is a perfect time to use it.
