And he is offering a special deal for the site’s readers until the end of January. There are only 50 slots, and this is just for [...]
On Assignment: The Glass Menagerie
On Assignment: The Glass Menagerie Since 1983, when I started stringing assignments for the Leesburg (FL) Commercial, I have always gravitated toward community journalism. I just find it intimate and rewarding to work within a tight geographic area and get to know the people who live all around you. In the 27 years since, I [...]
Behind the Scenes on Sunshine
Behind the Scenes on Sunshine American Cinematographer has a wonderful piece online about both the theory and the execution of the lighting in Sunshine. It’s a SciFi movie, about the death of the sun and a mission to jumpstart it with a nuclear bomb. There’s a lot of technical stuff, which I of course love. [...]

Ubercheap Ring Flash: Cereal Box, Styrofoam and Foil UPDATE: Dennis’ site has been taken down, but the how-to page on the ring flash has been archived here. I am leaving the old links hard-coded into the post, in case Dennis gets his site back up. As always, thanks for the heads-up to this situation that [...]
On Assignment: Trip Jennings
On Assignment: Trip Jennings A couple of months ago I got to photograph adventure kayaker Trip Jennings for Canoe & Kayak Magazine. Given we were fresh out of 80-foot waterfalls for him to navigate in Howard County, we instead chose the shore of relatively somnambulistic Centennial Lake at sunset…__________ Prologue is Past FWIW, this is [...]
Taking Chances, Classic Lighting and Hairballs: A Closer Look at the Grecco Book
Taking Chances, Classic Lighting and Hairballs: A Closer Look at the Grecco Book UPDATE: As of Feb. 2008, with the release of Joe McNally’s “The Moment it Clicks,” Grecco’s “Lighting and the Dramatic Portrait” drops to number two in this genre, IMO. Nothing against this book, mind you. It’s just that McNally’s book, reviewed here, [...]
The Snow Must Go On
The Snow Must Go On SECOND UPDATE: Due to many snow cancellations, the show has been extended until March 14th.__________ FIRST UPDATE: Yet another 4-8″ forecast for Sunday-Monday. I give up. Uncle.__________ For those of you who were planning on joining me for the Wednesday night showing of The Glass Menagerie (for which I did [...]
Q&A: Why Not Speedlights?
Q&A: Why Not Speedlights? Garrett Hamilton asks the following question in the comments of the On Assignment Trip Jennings post:__________ “I’m still a ‘small guy’ in terms of my lighting gear bag, and just was wondering how this would have turned out with smaller strobes. Do you think you could have gotten the same results? [...]
The Last POTW of 2006
The Last POTW of 2006 Two-double-oh-six is about to go down in the record books, and we are closing it out with the final Picture of the Week. Knowing that I would be crunched with preparations for covering the funeral of former President Ford, I had another photo all picked out and the post pre-written. [...]

Finnishing Touches UPDATE: Sweet! Click thru to the full post w/comments, where Anssi Saviluoto has detailed how he shot the video with a POINT AND SHOOT and did the post production for the cool effects. Awesome — thanks, Anssi!__________ Meetups are lots of fun, and one of the best ways to meet other local Strobist [...]
After the Light: High-Pass Post Production
After the Light: High-Pass Post Production Let’s get one thing straight first: I am no Photoshop wizard. I learned at the paper to use it sparingly, and my goal is always to do most of my work in-camera. But a lot of people have asked about some of my post techniques, so I wanted to [...]
On Assignment: Hit for Average
On Assignment: Hit for Average In almost every way, this is an utterly unremarkable sports portrait. But it makes a good example to illustrate that having a minimal lighting setup with you at all times can help you maintain some semblance of a standard when the deck gets stacked against you. That’s exactly what happened [...]
Bits and Pieces: Jan 3, 2007
Bits and Pieces: Jan 3, 2007 • From the Flickr Strobist threads: Broncolor (the flash manufacturer) has a cool website that ‘splains a lot about light and even lets you do apples-to-apples comparisons of different light modifiers. There’s a lot of good stuff there, if you click around some. • The little brown image ad [...]
Off and Running in this Multimedia Stuff
Off and Running in this Multimedia Stuff I was very pleased to find out today that the Fall project took second place in the NPPA national monthly contest for multimedia. That’s really cool and all. But in all honesty I am not that much of a contest hound. So to me the neat thing that [...]
Lighting 102: 4.3 — Assignment: Cross, Balance and Sculpt
Lighting 102: 4.3 — Assignment: Cross, Balance and Sculpt Now that we have played around with restricted light in a blunt-instrument sort of way, it’s time to learn to finesse it to go for something a little more subtle. Just because that beam of light is tight, does not mean it has to be garish. [...]
The Weather is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful
The Weather is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful Comment moderation is a bit slow and unanswered emails are piling up. But the important thing is I am having a great time in California. Met lots of neat folks at the Googleplex yesterday, ate some gourmet food (lobster tacos, anyone?) drank strawberry mojito smoothies and occasionally [...]

Cubism was a 20th century avant-garde art movement, pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music and literature. The first branch of cubism, known as Analytic Cubism, was both radical and influential as a short but highly significant art movement between 1907 and 1911 [...]

Abstract art

Painting Styles, Photography Tips Comments Off

Oct 212010

Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. Western art had been, from the Renaissance up to the middle of the 19th century, underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce [...]
