Even more than the weather, light changes. Everyone knows that of course. Morning afternoon, evening, twilight and night seem to happen almost everyday. (at least in my neck of the woods). But what is most lovely is how it changes over the course of the year. Summer, winter and spring light all have their own …
Street events like parades and festivals are a great time to practice shooting. There is energy in the air and people are less guarded. Walking up and taking pictures of strangers is less intimidating than during a regular day. The beauty of street events is that you are free to do whatever you want with …
Awareness is a wonderful thing. Being conscious of your surroundings and what is happening around you enables you you see and recognize opportunity and avoid pitfalls and falling into pits. Walking around with a camera is an exercise in awareness. It trains you to notice. You look better (and everybody likes to look better!)
There is nothing new about new interfaces, those screens with buttons and menus that enable us to use our software. Interfaces (also called graphic user interfaces or GUIs) are our command centers. The idea is to make it easy to tell software what to do with having to know what commands to type in. For …
The LCD screen gives us that first taste of our photos. We get to see if we nailed it. Sort of. It’s kinda small, not very sharp and sometimes hard to see. But, it’s a taste and if it tastes good, then our appetite is whetted for sure. It gets us excited for the next …
Almost all living beings (plants included) can detect and respond to light. So it makes sense that humans, with our big ol’ neocortex (that most recently developed part of the brain) would not only detect and respond to light, but also think about it. And not only do we think about it, we make machines …
We’ve officially put out the call, sent the press releases and launched our 2019 project, HUNTERDON RETAIL. Projects are what the Photographers Group is all about. Individually we are silos, each producing our images by ourselves to show the world. Collectively, we are a collaborative group producing a body of work. Contests are one and …
Events prompt us to take out our cameras. Something happens. Something new to notice. New stuff stimulates interest. All kind of events happen everyday. Waking up, traveling, weather. Other events happen on occasion. Social gatherings, sports, vacations. We are far more likely to photograph the occasional events than the everyday events. They are more novel …
We tell stories all the time to each other and we tell them with our photos. Where we were, what we looked for and found, what we came across. Sometimes we are telling other people’s stories. Who they are, what is happening in their life. And sometimes we are expressing just our thoughts or feeling …
Has anyone ever wanted to show you all their vacation or new baby photos? Scene after scene of things they thoroughly enjoyed experiencing that may not evoke the same feelings in you? Or have you been the one sharing the images? Chances are at some point we’ve all offered up more photos than people may …
