HT2116 - The World in Two Dimensions

LensWork - Photography and the Creative Process ·

2024/12/24

HT2116 - The World in Two DimensionsThere are two realities about photography that are inescapable; photography compresses the world into two dimensions, while simultaneously it shrinks the world into a consumable size. Doesn't this imply an inverting expansion in our imagination whenever we look at a photograph?

HT2115 - The First Thing I Do

2024/12/23

HT2115 - The First Thing I Do For the most part, I know how I want to use my camera in various situations. For me, the ability to memorize custom settings for different shooting scenarios is an incredibly important tool that I use with almost every capture. The first thing I do with a new camera is set the custom settings for my shooting scenarios so that whichever camera I pick up has the same identical configurations under C1, C2, and C3.

LW1433 - If Not Every Day, Then at Least with Regularity Pianist Vladimir Horowitz has said that if he skips practice one day, he knows it. If he skips practice two days, his wife know it. If he skips practice three days, the world know it. I think this applies to our efforts in the photographic creative life. We can't be out photographing every day, but there are other things we can integrate with our daily life to keep our creative momentum alive. Here are 10 ideas that might help. All previous

2024/12/22

HT2114 - Find the Software that Thinks Like You Do Photography has become so intertwined with the world of computers and software that it's hard to visualize doing photography without a computer. I did, we all did, 50 years ago, but today we have alternatives galore. I use Lightroom on PC, not because of its unique virtues but rather because it thinks the way I do and presents the least amount of resistance.

HT2113 - Memorable

2024/12/21

HT2113 - Memorable I think there's no doubt that one of the characteristics of the best photographs is that they are memorable. Do we remember them because of their exquisite tonalities? Do we remember them because of their spectacular color? Judicious depth of field? Tack sharp details? Or does a photograph become memorable for reasons that have nothing to do with technology, but everything to do with the heart?

HT2112 - ISO Fears No More

LensWork - Photography and the Creative Process ·

2024/12/20

HT2112 - ISO Fears No More One of the driving factors in choosing a camera format was the fear of high ISO in small sensors. I debated a long time before I settled in on micro 4/3, primarily because of ISO fears. With today's noise reduction capabilities, those fears seem so cute and quaint. I cringe now thinking about all the images I lost because of my fear of high ISO.

2024/12/19

HT2111 - Sometimes, I Miss My View CameraI suspect a lot of you have never used a view camera, but there are certain aspects of the view camera that are just lovely. My pace was slower, which fostered a special moment with each exposure. The isolation generated by the dark cloth reduced the hubbub of the world to just me and the image. There are times when I miss that.

HT2110 - What Photography Is Like

2024/12/18

HT2110 - What Photography Is LikeStieglitz told us that photography is like painting because it belongs in a frame, displayed on a wall. I would propose that the actual content of photography is more like poetry. It's highest use is when the photographer observes and then comments on Life.

HT2109 - Everyday Stories

LensWork - Photography and the Creative Process ·

2024/12/17

HT2109 - Everyday StoriesSo much fine art photography I see these days is about the extraordinary. Spectacular landscapes, exotic locations, beautiful models, extravagant events. Is this an attempt to offset Henry David Thoreau's idea that we live lives of quiet desperation? Perhaps there is some value and merit in everyday stories that don't require extensive travel or specialist gear.

HT2108 - Silent Mode

2024/12/16

HT2108 - Silent Mode In my youth, one of the primary reasons for using a rangefinder camera was that its leaf shutter was so much quieter than a reflex flopping mirror. I was recently photographing on several occasions using silent mode on my digital camera. It makes the quiet leaf shutters of a Leica sound like a thunderstorm.

LW1432 - Are We Quickly Becoming Anachronistic? I'll be honest, I don't feel like I'm old. When I look at today's trends in photography, however, I can't help but worry about the future for kind of photography I love. And as long as I'm at it, you kids get off my lawn.

HT2107 - The Second Reason to Use a Tripod

2024/12/15

HT2107 - The Second Reason to Use a Tripod When asked, I bet most photographers would say they use a tripod to stabilize the camera for sharper pictures. That's true, but that's just the first reason to use a tripod. I find using a tripod helps with more precise framing which ultimately requires less fussing in processing. To help with precise framing, I use a geared head on my tripod.

HT2106 - My Slow Surrender to the Technology

2024/12/14

HT2106 - My Slow Surrender to the TechnologyIn my youth, there was only one way to engage the camera, full manual mode. Manual focus, manual shutter, manual aperture. With digital cameras, I started using Aperture-priority and Shutter-priority more regularly. More recently I've found myself trusting Program mode. I feel I'm ever-so-slightly slipping to the Dark Side.

HT2105 - The Technical Plateau of 2016-2018 Like so many of you, I jumped on the technology bandwagon in the early 2000s with my first digital camera. Every year after that, I found important reasons to upgrade as the technology improved. Strangely enough, all of my current cameras — which do everything I could possibly imagine — all come from 2016 or 2018. It appears as though the technology has reached some sort of plateau, at least for my needs.

HT2104 - The Fleeting Wow Factor

LensWork - Photography and the Creative Process ·

2024/12/12

HT2104 - The Fleeting Wow FactorSometime in the last couple of years (I can't remember when) I saw that a photographer was doing a workshop on how to increase "the wow factor" of your images. I worry that wow factor has become an overriding concern for photographers, but I understand why it has done so. Relying on the wow factor to catch the attention of your audience can be like telling the same joke over and over and over again. Once the punchline is known, the joke loses its appeal.

HT2103 - A Spark of Imagination

LensWork - Photography and the Creative Process ·

2024/12/11

HT2103 - A Spark of ImaginationWhen we look at one of our own photographs, there is always a spark that ignites in our thoughts. We remember the moment of the shutter release, or perhaps the moments we processed the image. That spark is a reaction to our artwork. Viewers, however, have a different spark — or none at all. That is our artmaking challenge.

HT2102 - The Multi-exposure ImageFor some time now I've been an advocate of the multi-image presentation like Seeing in SIXES, or Trilogies. A variation on that idea has just as much potential and that is the multi-exposure image. Most digital cameras these days have the ability to do multiple exposure capture, but I hardly ever see anybody use this aesthetic. I wonder why?

2024/12/09

LW1431 - Assume Everything Is Purposeful When we view a photograph, do we assume that everything there is purposeful, or are there mistakes, accidents, uncorrected bits that make the photograph somehow wrong? But what if the photographer intended those things to be in the photograph? Can we not give the artist the benefit of the doubt? Can we remain open-minded? Or do our reactions promote conformity?

HT2100 - Photographing SnowHere in upstate New York where I am this month, the snow has finally arrived and my camera has emerged from temporary hibernation for some snow photography. Interestingly enough, something as simple as snow can present us with some of the most complex challenges in determining exposure. Worse, your cameras automatic exposure settings and snow will vary likely be wrong
