Composition is a subject that is discussed a lot in the field of photography, and rightly so. I taught evening classes in photography for many years, and here’s what I taught concerning composition.
Assortment of black and white photos
These photos were taken quite some years ago. I don’t remember for sure, but by the look of them I’d guess it’s a mix of Holga and Hasselblad.
Are you a hunter or a fisherman?
Sean Tucker in a video about his street photography process says there are two sorts of street photographers: hunters and fishermen. Which one are you?
Holga lens on digital camera
I’ve shot quite a bit over the years with a real Holga camera. But I just recently discovered that you can buy a Holga lens and use in on your digital camera. Fun or useless?
Deadpan photography
Peter Forsgård has an interesting video about deadpan photography, something I honestly had never heard of.
Why do you photograph that?
That’s a question I got recently, why do you photograph that? It was a colleague asking why I was taking a picture of a sign.
A few photos from the garden
Things are happening fast right now, the air is warmer and everything is growing. I took my D3000 and the 50mm for a little walk around the house.
I love black and white
Black and white photography is where I started, developing and enlarging in my parent’s basement. What is the enduring allure of black and white?
Shrinking selection of new lenses
A Nikon DX camera is still a good option for an affordable camera that can deliver great photos. I should know, I have several of them. But when it comes to lenses the options are limited, at least when it comes to new ones.
Nikon D3000
This is, as far as I know, Nikon’s last camera with CCD sensor, and it was introduced in July 2009, apparently the successor to the D60. I inherited it from my wife when we upgraded her to the D3100.
