2024/07/06

HT1945 - Parallel LightA lot of photography instructors these days talk about "good light" and "bad light," in particular morning light and evening light. It's been my experience that morning light and evening light are great not because of the time of day but rather because of a characteristic I think of as "parallel light."

2024/07/05

HT1944 - Different Sources of Illumination The key attribute of travel photography is seeing something new. Seeing something new is the topic for this thought. But travel is difficult, expensive, and takes a lot of time. What if we could invoke that idea of seeing something new by simply changing the source of light? What if we photographed in our home or neighborhood with illumination by candlelight, flashlight, portable video lights, or reflected flash photography? All previous episodes of

HT1942 - The Problem with Cameras

2024/07/03

HT1942 - The Problem with CamerasCameras are marvelous devices that do incredible things. The problem is they can do none of those things if you don't have it with you when the photographic opportunity appears. Mark Twain said that those who don't read have no advantage over those who can't. The same could be said about making pictures. A person who leaves their camera at home has no advantage over those who don't own a camera.

HT1941 - UpgradingFrom about 2005 onward, it seems like I was buying an upgraded digital camera about every year for a dozen years. My current cameras were introduced in 2017. I have not been tempted to upgrade since then for the simple reason that the newer models have not offered any features I feel I need that my current cameras are missing. What would tempt me to upgrade?

2024/07/01

LW1408 - The Field Options It's so easy to fall into the habit of making straight photographs. But there are ever-so-many creative options that can only be accomplished in the field if we think beyond the straight photograph. Here is the list I have a fixed to my camera to help remind me of the options.

HT1940 - The Associated Idea

LensWork - Photography and the Creative Process ·

2024/07/01

HT1940 - The Associated Idea One of the fundamental responses to a photograph is, "This reminds me of... " Said another way, one of the most powerful aspects of a photograph is its ability to function as a metaphor for something else. Photographs are a mirror, a pathway, a door. It's this aspect of photography that makes it an art medium.

HT1939 - Dimensionality

HT1939 - Dimensionality I know that photographic images are two-dimensional things, but there are conventions that allow us to explore beyond the two dimensionality of a photograph. I have to confess that in my photographic life, I don't spend a lot of time thinking about how to expand beyond two dimensions, but perhaps I should.

HT1938 - Compare and ContrastIn my school days, I always detested test questions that began, "Compare and Contrast." With photography, however, I find that is one of the most powerful ways to make a diptych. In fact, diptychs are an ideal way to compare and contrast.

2024/06/28

HT1937 - The First Time Can you think of an experience in your life where you did something for the very first time and did it flawlessly? Yet we go photographing in new locations and assume that our first time will produce brilliant images. Why do we think that's true for art making when we know it isn't true for anything else in our life?

HT1936 - You Are Different Today I'd like to address today's comments to those of you who have been doing photography for 20, 30, 40, 50 years. An interesting exercise is to go back and look at your first completed project with the intention of redoing that project today. How would you approach the subject differently based on the fact that you are now an older more mature photographer?

HT1935 - Moonlit Scenes Occasionally a breakthrough in technology opens the door to create a vision that had previously been impossible or at least very difficult. The new AI noise reduction available in Lightroom is a good example. The other day was a full moon and I found that sufficient illumination to make some interesting landscape images illuminated only via moonlight.

2024/06/24

LW1407 - Portrait of a Place In that subgenre of photography we call "fine art photography," there is one approach that dominates over all others. I think of this as "portrait of a place." Whether it's one photograph or a dozen, the photographer's underlying premise is to show us somewhere they've been and appreciate. Their motivation is to share their experience of the special place. All well and good, but some approaches are less successful than others. All previous episodes of our weekly

HT1930 - Your Signature It's customary to sign your finished prints in the lower right hand corner.

HT1928 - Photography and Philosophy Photography may not be the best medium for philosophy, but that doesn't mean that photography isn't guided, shaped, informed, influenced by a philosophical background. Said another way, art is the marriage between images and ideas. It's easy to see that photography without an image is not art. It's much more difficult to realize that photography without an idea is not art.
