Photos are meant to be shared
I discovered these glasses at a local bar where I was doing some commercial work. The interesting fact about this assignment (and others) is that when you start looking for “three” you will find them almost anywhere.
Keep on looking and photographing!
Repetition is a valuable tool for creating images and so is the number “3”. People say, they come in “three,” three corners form the triangle, in the church people talk about the “Trinity” etc. This weeks exercise is about “three”
This is part of a door at the mission San Juan Bautista. Enjoy and happy photographing!
Of course I had to shoot an image using soft light. Any additional shadow I eliminated in post production. It is important to notice how the image changes by using different light settings. This image is rather boring in comparison to the high drama images having shadows and light reflections.
Enjoy and happy photographing!
PS: I will take a beak for a week and be back on August 8, 2011.
When you shoot a “portrait” you need a “prop” to enhance your subject. I decided to use a “worm” for that purpose.
Enjoy and keep on photographing!
In this images I grouped the Gummy Bears closer together and I changed the direction of the light.
Enjoy and happy clicking!
This weeks exercise is about photographing Gummy Bears. Using a slash you have the capability to create shadows and light reflections of the subject. As always, have fun with this exercise!
I put the Gummy Bears on a matte 8X10 inkjet paper and used tin foil to create some sort of a snoot light. Then I experimented and took several shots. This one I liked!
When you photograph people the format of your image has a huge impact. The perception of the subject, composition, and dynamic change. This is a good example how important the format of your image matters.
Enjoy and happy photographing!
I just finished a large portrait assignment. They family looked at my proofs which I printed in a 4X6 format. They ordered a lot of 8X10, which is a 4X5 format. I struggled in a few images to get the subject in the new format. In the above sample I cut the had of completely in the square format. The subject changed with the format!
Enjoy and happy cropping!
I photographed the church in Bodie, CA. Bodie is a ghost-town and offers millions of opportunities for photography.
Again, study the impact of using a different format for my subject. In this series I also changed the size of the church. In the third image I enlarged the church slightly.
Enjoy and happy photographing.
