Photography – Week 47
I’ve cropped this just about every way possible but keep coming back to this one. There is a chunk of empty asphalt. It also isn’t going to do as well in a small view as it’s easy to miss the kid on the handlebars and the cigarette- the very things that make the picture. I posted it for some feedback in one of the Flickr groups I like about street photography. This is an excerpt of one of the comments. There is absolutely nothing of interest on the entire left side of the frame. It is hard to imagine composing a photo so unbalanced. Whatever you edited out surely was more interesting than that huge expanse of empty asphalt? If cutting out whatever it is you cut out seems an improvement to you, then the original must have really really sucked. A bit rough I thought. I don’t mind direct feedback but still feel like basic mannersThis guy is from NYC and I have a historical/cultural issues with this type of conversation. Maybe he also reviews papers? ought to apply in most things in life. All that being said, I still really like this photograph. It may be that I can claim no credit for what makes it good as that was all in the moment and the content. I […]
Photography – Week 77
Not quite as lucky as 77 should be. I was pretty disappointed in this week’s shots. It was a rough week.
Photography – Week 130
The baby turtles are back. There’s a beautiful little chunk of time when baby turtles are there for the finding. They are hard to spot and take some skill to catch but it’s very possible and lots of fun. When we started I caught them and handed them to the kids. Now the older ones are doing it themselves.

Interesting, I should just listen, but is there a detail increase for larger relative depth of filed? Or just collecting for direct light reflections?
You probably know but the trick here for going to higher stops is using the third leg of exposure control- pushing to higher ISO means you can go to larger fstops
Deeper depth of field was the goal. He has some interesting ideas on what leads to good pictures (which he equates to pictures people will buy in his process). It was interesting to hear him talk as he’s really direct and about selling stuff.
I am playing with the ISO but found some of the auto ISO adjustments to make things too grainy. It was a bit of surprise for me because I didn’t realize quite what I’d need on that end to keep shooting sans tripod in my normal haunts.
I would not do auto ISO, set it directly. Use low (100) in day light, go higher when you need to (a) shoot in lowlight or (b) want to make use of the higher number aperture settings.
How grainy gets will depend on your camera’s sensor.With my T1i I could go to maybe 800 before it got noticeable, but with the 7D I can easily go to 2000 before it affects the image. IN some settings, especially low light, a grainy look works, esp when you go to black and white, That;s another reason for my affinity to the 50mm f/1.4 I can shoot hand held in low light much lower than using a zoom.
