RE: We drive to shop, to buy food
Very nice. Interesting,so you use the camera black and white conversion? If you do I would not recommend that for many reasons. But that is something I could share if you are using it and other ways to really make B&W images pop. Curious what your thoughts are?
Thank you!! I use all :) do not limit your self ... I have fun, and I recommend this wore you too :) Just go and make photos :)
I just Lightroom to organize and do most of my photo editing. I shoot only in RAW because I have tons of more options when editing the photos. If you use the camera option to make it B&W you have very little leverage with the editing. And if you make the output B&W from the camera you then have no option to ever have the image in color.
Yeah, I can change the pictures on the computer too, but it does not make me creative.
First of all, you have to be creative on the street, or if you make a picture in nature....It creates a desire to get something better. And if you can minimize the use of any extra, then it will make you be creative. I apologize... When I read your texting, then I see you're going so far in time, so that you forget what you're going to do on the street or when you make a pictures in nature. Good picture starts with it. You can be creative at the back of your computer, but most people freeze on the street, Because they have not practiced how to fight the With fear, and take photography what strangers. And believe me if you can feel, If you get to know for the first time when someone goes crazy in front of your lens, you will not make a picture for a while after that some like did you make when you start. And it's not easy to win it, it has to be experienced on several occasions. I hope I did not write anything bad...it is just what I think just now. @davidmendel
Not at all.
Without a doubt, it starts in the camera. If you don't get it right there, then you have no creativity to show there. I am talking color, contrast and all the other levels that you can work it. No camera can get that perfect. Ansel Adams would spend hours in the darkroom editing just one image, to create his beautifull photos. There was and is no camera that can bring out the final product that he was able to get.
When I first learned to shoot B&W it was on film. And you had to spend hours in the darkroom to get any image developed. It is the same with today's photography plus much more. The art is also in the working with lighting and sometimes the camera just can't get that right, no matter how good a photographer we are.
Do some google searching on what Lightroom can do to help you as a photographer and you might be very surprised and want to have that much more fun with your photos. Most, if not all of the top photographers use some kind of editing software. And some of it might be too much for you and for certain I have seen ones that is to much for me.
If I frame my photo like I like and expose it perfact, I then can just make the image pop a little bit more with making a few adjustments that take minutes to do.
I hope I am explaining this right? I love your images and when I saw you say you are taking the B&W images right from the camera I really wanted to share my feeling about that. I hope I wasn't affending you in any way?
Thank you!! And forest you not have affending me :) I'm glad you said what you see and feel. That's why I also describe a little about what my pictures. It makes people think more about what they see and do not have to wait for me to say what to think. Because each person sees things differently.
And I can not say anything about the film photography, because I have not used it yet, I am hoping I'll get the chance soon...very soon. I like Xpan... this film camera is very cool :)
I used to love to shoot with Xpan. It has such a rawness to the quality of the film. If you haven't I would try to read some of Ansel Adams books on photography. He was the master of the art and that still holds true today. His visions were ones that only can be told by the master themselves. There is also a documentary about him, but I think his writing on photography is something that will last forever in the photo world.
Can't wait to see more of you stuff.
I've seen her documentary, and looked at it a few times, But what do you think about him? Vivian Maier. I like her pictures very much... very cool street photography.
I have to say I don't know her work. Street photography was never my thing. But looking at her work, she was very talented. If I could only go back in time and taking those kinds of photos would be amazing.
I will have to look at more of her work, thanks for the recommendation.
