| The
art in photography |
|
For me, photography
is like quick art. The canvas is the physical world. The pigments
have are already been applied, but they are always changing. Every passing
moment is opportunity to capture something new and wonderful
- the sun casting different colors from morning
to evening, the changing seasons provide tempo,
the expression of someone's face in a group - all can be
captured in the camera's eye. But you have to decide the exact
moment
Being in the right place, at the right moment, and knowing
what to capture are the critical components.
After some good rolls have been developed, digital effects
can be applied or collages can be made. Creativity lies in
which digital effects to apply and how to surgically cut and
paste. Some consider this cheating, but to start, you need
to take good photos. And for me, that makes photography a
form of art.

Old fashion cameras - the film

No digital camera
yet. For all the photos here, I have used either an
Olympus "point-and-click" camera (automatic,
water resistant, takes great photos with 400 speed or
higher film) or a Ricoh XR-P camera (good for manual,
trick photography - ghost images, slow shutter speed).
For a ridiculously large image (high quality), click
on the thumbnail picture.

Original photo was in black and white. Tinting technique is commonly done on real black and whites photos with a water base paint. Here it is done digitally.
Painter 5 effects: 1.) Paintbrushed arbitrary colors with 50% opacity 2.) After painting yellow, erased (50% opacity also) inside of laterns for more of a glow
Tip: If you have a color photo on your computer and you want to tint, save it as "grayscale" and then paint it. |
