Land, Light and Location

Posted 22nd September 2009 at 09:56 PM by John Perriment

Yesterday, in my very first blog entry, I questioned how I would be using this new media and what I had to offer. The very first comment I received, from zzlipps, was in the form of a request that I share some of my landscape techniques. I must admit that is one area of photography where I have done relatively well in the past and it is a subject dear to my heart, so it's probably as good a place as any to start.

The common misconception is that in order to get spectacular landscapes...

A little bit like Penn and Teller

I know that when I post images that show my raw unprocessed "before shots" or "all 1800 images from a wedding" - I am really making myself vulnerable and exposing myself as not being nearly as good photographically as some might presume that I am. The mystique of my images is gone!

In some ways it's a little like Penn and Teller exposing the simplicity and trickery of magic acts - when what has kept people coming back to magic shows for years and years is the presumption...

Posted 22nd September 2009 at 11:59 AM by Ian

No.2: Today we look at how Olympus and Panasonic Lumix formulate their image file names and folders on the memory card.

Bloggin' All Over The World

Oh here we are and here we are and here we go
All aboard and we're hittin' the road
Here we go
Bloggin' all over the world!


All I can say is I'd better hold on tight, I'm frightened I might fall off!

Being a little naïve about these things I'm not totally sure about the difference between a forum post and a blog entry. As I understand it, I should still use the forum when I want to start a discussion but use my blog when I want to keep the focus...

Something out of Nothing

Posted 21st September 2009 at 08:17 PM by Robert Watcher

I am terrible for making something out of nothing. I know - - - you're not supposed to do it. Your supposed to get it right in the camera.

My problem is that I am a visually spontaneous person who, is "into the moment" and far less concerned with whether I have it technically correct or composed perfectly. Mind you - I want it close, so that I at least have content to work with in the darkroom (I processed all of my own colour and black and white work in my traditional darkroom...
