One of these days, I’ll start doing my own photography again and talking about it. Until then, fortunately, others are filling the gap.
- Do Not Fear the Sun: Our perception of strong sunlight includes its harshness. In bright sun we squint, shade our eyes, reach for sunglasses. Sunlight feels harsh even though it can be flattering for some subjects. I like to photograph buildings in hard sunlight. People or flowers, not so much.
- DIY Soft Box: Use What’s Around you.
- Intro to B&W Photography with Lightroom: Getting started couldn’t be simpler, after having imported your image into Lightroom and moving to the Develop module, notice that at the top of the “Basic” panel Lightroom offers a choice of Color and Greyscale “treatments”, switching from one to the other is as simple as clicking on one of the names—but not quite yet.
- Saturday at the Studio: There were two interesting things for me from this shoot. Instead of editing a whole bunch of photos, I decided up front that the max of photos I would use was going to be 5. And so I narrowed down my picks accordingly and didn’t even take a second look at any others than those 5. [[Interesting concept. I'm going to have to experiment with that as a way to get to the best-of-best quickly...]]
