HT2064 - Monitor Calibration

2024/11/02

HT2064 - Monitor CalibrationThere have been a few times - - but only a few - - when a photographer we've published has been a bit disappointed in how their images looked in LensWork. In every case, it turns out that there was a monitor calibration issue on their end that was easily resolved. For critical work, the first step is always to calibrate your monitor, with hardware calibration if possible.

HT2063 - The Additive Process

2024/11/01

HT2063 - The Additive ProcessThe process of photographic composition is, by the nature of its mechanics, a subtractive process. What superfluous and distracting element can we remove from the framing? It can be useful, however, to reverse this and think of our composition as an additive process, like painters do.

HT2062 - The Five Colors Blind the Eye

HT2062 - The Five Colors Blind the EyeLaotzu, that old rascal of a sage from 600 BC in China, advised that "the five colors blind the eye and the five notes deafen ear." He was proposing that there are more subtleties in color and sound than our methods of notation can record. I think there's an interesting parallel to this idea for us photographers.

HT2061 - The Bonds That Make a ProjectA multi-image project is a project because something binds all the images together to make a theme. What is it that defines the images as a unified thing? Is it the subject? The mood? The location? The processing? How you answer this question about unity makes or discourages a viewer's relationship to the project.

HT2060 - The First Line, the First ParagraphNovelists and short story writers understand perfectly well the importance of that first line or paragraph of text. In fact, the subsequent pages are often a confirmation or refutation of that first line, at the very least an explanation of it. We have the same sort of thing in photography projects in the form of a title and the introductory text.

2024/10/28

HT2059 - Images That Grab Your Heart It's a pretty good bet that most of us love the great photographs from history. What's not to like? A useful exercise is to ask why. If we can identify precisely why those images tug at our heartstrings, we might find that useful in making our own images.

LW1425 - What We Do Novelists don't make books, they write stories. Musicians don't produce LPs or CDs, they perform songs. Similarly, do photographers make prints or do we craft still images? Where is the dividing line between the physicality of photography and the strictly visual content that is independent of the media?.

HT2057 - Where to Crop

LensWork - Photography and the Creative Process ·

2024/10/26

HT2057 - Where to Crop One of the best reasons to use a high megapixel camera is the ability to crop in processing. I've typically found this to be the least attractive alternative. I much prefer to crop with a zoom lens in the field. The exception to this is a change in aspect ratio.

2024/10/25

HT2056 - Is a Book Art? I don't know a photographer who doesn't want to produce a book of their images. That's a worthwhile goal. Assuming you are wanting to produce a book of your work. it's crucial that you understand that a book is not an artistic pursuit. Books are commercial commodities that may include artistic elements, but the book itself is a commodity.

HT2055 - Surprise, Surprise, We Are Different NowI hear from readers of LensWork with considerable consistency that they keep each issue and have a growing library. This is important because you are not the same photographer today that you were when you received your first issue of LensWork. Going back and looking again is a fascinating exercise.

HT2054 - The Wet LandscapeFor years I've said that bad weather makes for great photography. An example of that is how the landscape intensifies in color and sheen after a rain. Photographing in the rain might be uncomfortable and cumbersome for us humans, but no one ever said that artmaking was supposed to be easy.

HT2053 - Winter Light My favorite time of year to be out photographing is late fall and winter. It's the light that I find so scrumptious. The sun at a low angle, the dramatic weather, and the short, intense daylight hours all combine to create the best time of year to grab the camera and wander.

HT2052 - Where to Look for Your Next Project Most of the time when I find myself wondering about my next project, I find that I'm thinking about a new location I'd like to visit. "Where do I want to go next?" is not the question of an artist, but it is the question of an explorer. I think it's important not to conflate explorer and artist, but rather to recognize the relationship between them.

HT2051 - The Most Important Camera Setting Over the years, I've resolved the exposure equation differently. In my film days, I prioritized ASA/ISO and that implied long shutter speeds and a tripod. These days, I prioritize shutter speed, and let the ISO float. Here's why.

HT2050 - Find a Way to Keep Being Productive I've come to treasure artistic momentum. The camera tucked away in the closet for months at a time is a sure way to retard your creative life.

HT2049 - Color Fidelity or Emotional ColorI'm new to the challenges of color photography. I didn't do any color photography until my first digital camera in 2005. For the longest time, I was focused on trying to make accurate colors with fidelity. After a few years, I realized that was a completely superfluous objective.

HT2048 - Unfair ComparisonsI was frustrated yesterday with my printer. It wasn't precisely matching the colors I was seeing on my monitor. A couple of hours later and a dozen sheets of paper wasted, it dawned on me that I was making unfair comparisons that the audience would never see. Success is not defined by a perfect match because no one but me will ever see the image on my monitor.

It might take years to gather the assets, but in my experience the time required to assemble the assets and ideas into a finished project is best accomplished quickly.
