Amazing feeling

3/24/2007 at 9:34 PM

Do you ever get this amazing feeling when you take a photograph and you can almost feel the light going through the lens and onto the film or CCD or whatever? I do sometimes. I love it. You just know it's going to be great!

I don't know why I never posted it, but it's in my music photography gallery!

Points 'prize' suggestion

I was thinking, it would be pretty safe to have smaller prizes, like at an arcade. I don't know, humblevoice pencils? Erasers? Fun right?

Retouching on show

I put some of my retouching work in the 'Behind the Scenes' section. So far I've been working with models to help them improve their portoflios. Check it out!

Design and Retouching

3/20/2007 at 12:07 PM

So, I'll let you into a little secret. I'm actually trained as a designer, not a photographer. I put a mish-mash of design work I did in the behind the scenes page. Have a little peek :-)

Also, I got bored and retouched a boring photo of a tracker bar box to look like a car ad. It's at the bottom of this page.

Photography tip #3

3/13/2007 at 10:37 PM

Buy old lenses, or try them out if you have some lying around.

The trip that led to the diptychs, 'Southwark Composition' and 'Come fly with me' was a trip to try out some old series E Nikkor lenses with my somewhat more modern D100. The light meter doesn't work with the old lenses, so I had to do some playing to get good exposures. However, being forced to use fixes lenses with manual focus and smaller f stop numbers helps you look at the world differently! It can be frustrating but it can also be very rewarding!

When cropping, try out a ratio of 5x4 instead of the 35mm standard 6x4. It's 'the new black' in my opinion, but of course, different ratios will work for different people and different photographs! It all depends on how your mental imaging faculty works!

Take lots and lots of photographs! Don't delete them from your digital until you get home unless you really really have to! Sometimes you don't know what you have until you see them a little bigger or try some different crops!
