Exploring through colors: Each photo page has a list of the top eight colors in the photo. When you click on a color, you can explore all the other photos in which that color is one of the the main ones. In this way, all my photos are connected aesthetically. The navigation on a photo page is within the event.
Interesting web design idea for photography websites. Each photo lists with the photo meta data and description the top eight colors in the photo. Visitors can select any one of colors and seen an archive of every photo where that is one of the top eight featured colors.
As I always tell young photographers, it’s a business whereyou have to have heroes. I’ve got lots of them. It’s a businesscomprised of special people, and I’ve been blessed to haveencountered and been influenced by many of them.
True!!!! love this
Stanley Kubrick photos - Of the more than 300 assignments Kubrick did for Look (1946-1951), a little more than 100 are in Library of Congress collection; other Kubrick material may be found in the Museum of the City of New York (see Related Resources). Because of interest expressed in Kubrick's work, all Look jobs with which Stanley Kubrick was associated are cataloged, with descriptions focusing on negatives that have been printed.

Camera Obscura, a technique for reproducing images by projecting a scene through a tiny hole that is inverted and reversed on the opposite wall or surface
Camera Obsucra; like a pinhole camera, was one of the first techniques used to reproduce images The technique has been around for many centuries .

The Newberry Library in Chicago, IL, maintains a collection of the Curt Teich & Co.'s Art-Colortone postcards from 1898 onward. It's stored in tab divided boxes using an alpha-numeric system generally comprising a series of three letters followed by three numbers. The company sold over a billion of these postcards.
In traditional artforms characterized by direct manipulation [32]of a material (e.g., painting, tattoo, or sculpture), the creator has a direct hand in creating thefinal output, and therefore it is relatively straightforward to identify the creator’s intentions andstyle in the output. Indeed, previous research has shown the relative importance of “intentionguessing” in the artistic viewing experience [33, 34], as well as the increased creative valueafforded to an artwork if elements of the human process (e.g., brushstrokes) are visible [35].However, generative techniques have strong aesthetics themselves [36]; for instance, it hasbecome apparent that certain generative tools are built to be as “realistic” as possible, resultingin a hyperrealistic aesthetic style. As these aesthetics propagate through visual culture, it can bedifficult for a casual viewer to identify the creator’s intention and individuality within the out-puts. Indeed, some creators have spoken about the challenges of getting generative AI modelsto produce images in new, different, or unique aesthetic styles [36, 37].
Some authors speak of having to wrestle control of the AI output from its trained style, making it challenging to create unique aesthetic styles. The artist indirectly influences the output by selecting training data and manipulating prompts.
As use of the technology becomes more diverse—as consumer photography did over the last century, the authors point out—how will biases and decisions by the owners of the AI tools influence what creators are able to make?
To a limited extent, this is already happening in photography. The smartphones are running algorithms on image sensor data to construct the picture. This is the source of controversy; see Why Dark and Light is Complicated in Photographs | Aaron Hertzmann’s blog and Putting Google Pixel's Real Tone to the test against other phone cameras - The Washington Post.
For the last decade or so, companies have been looking overseas, to India orChina, for cheap labor. But now it doesn’t matter where the laborers are – they might be down the block,they might be in Indonesia – as long as they are connected to the network
I didn't realize how hard it was to retain information in the earlier times before the internet became a thing. This made me appreciate how much easier our generation has to gather information. I attached a picture of how the stock photo industry is growing and people are no longer traveling all over trying to get in contact with people from different places for information. In 2020 the stock photography market value was at 3.3 billion dollars.

就在眼皮底下 菜园附近,我注意到一只七星瓢虫。跟丢了,却意外发现另一只小虫子。给它拍了张照,又发现另一只。如此三五回,意识到这是一个更大的、微观的、虫子们的世界。
摄影师 Levon Biss 通过显微镜拍摄方式,将一些昆虫放大成了一张张照片。放大来看这些昆虫的绒毛、花纹、斑点、锯齿等等细节,极具震慑力。

I generally find iPhone images slightly brighter and slightly cooler than my preference, so I love the idea of being able to customize how the iPhone processes photos at the image pipeline level versus correcting individual HEIC files later. I customized my own Photographic Style to be -30 Tone and +15 Warmth to more closely match my preferences.

This love for the ocean grew over the years, so much so that when she saw photographs by Canadian artist Benjamin Von Wong – showing a mermaid swimming in an ocean of plastic bottles – it impacted her deeply.
Why commercial photography permits are important
There are enough commercial photography rules in different states, countries, parks and areas to fill a library (or ten) — but if you use the following guidelines and examples, you can make sure your next photoshoot won’t come with the added expense of a costly fine.

Photography is a very interesting medium. The first camera was a camera obscura, which pretty much anyone can make. War photography also made a huge impact on a global scale before televised coverage was broadcast worldwide.

“It always works better if you start walking randomly,” Hennek says. “You go left, you go right, you keep on walking, and all of a sudden you see something.
B&W is compelling because by removing color detail it draws attention to figure, curves, facial expressions, emotions, movement, time of day, depending on subject
What B&W photos expose
Not being interested in stereotypes, he is a direct participant in the events, and uses personal experience and emotions in order to emphasize their basic meaning.
He doesn’t want to specify the time period, the place and reasons. Through photography he wants to show eternal themes, wants people to associate his works "with their memories from reading books, music, their own life."
I did not have much time to take the picture because helping those people get off the vessel was the priority for everyone. I put my camera down after a few shots, and I started to help people.
When shooting photos is your job and you put your camera aside to help people, this decision honors you in every possible way
If you just want pictures, film photography is probably not for you, but if you want to be physically connected to the images you produce – then maybe it is.

Etinosa Yvonne Osayimwen's goal is to get inside her subjects' heads.
An image that describes identity, formation, and the structure of being human.

A mobile phone. A tool to make any of us become a reporter anywhere.
This supplemented the individual's memory and ability to visualize. (We are not concerned here with the value derived from human cooperation made possible by speech and writing, both forms of external symbol manipulation. We speak of the manual means of making graphical representations of symbols—
The expression "manual means of making graphical representation" makes me think of photography as a memory aid or augmenting tool. Although, of course, it would not necessarily refer to a symbolic portrayal.
Interestingly, neuroscience today affirms our memory is far from a simple pointing to the past function, but it actually alters or edits the memory itself each time we go back to it and probably the subject who remembers changes in the process. Could that be an example of how technological aids can augment our brain processing of memories?
I have recently explored this idea on my blog in a post called As We May Remember (a wink to the Vannebar Bush essay) http://eltnotes.blogspot.com/2019/02/as-we-may-remember.html
Get the Nikon 16-35mm, which is Nikon's sharpest ultrawide ever.

use of dark backgrounds
I was taught this by a pro photographer when shooting a subject, even when the background is not focussed, it helps to consider framing it so there is a dark, non distracting background. It takes some practice to think of both the subject and how what behind them will affect an image.

In this one, I wanted the dying sunflower frames against the lighter blue sky, it would have been lost, or even created a sense of distraction, with the darker trees behind it.

Try to get a Ralph Gibson neg expose tri-x at E.I. 200 and overdevelop the neg if I remember correctly something along the lines of 11mins in Rodinal 1:25 20°C
Normal Tri-X at ISO 200 in Rodinal takes 7 minutes according to the massive dev chart, 11 minutes is an increase in 57%.
The negative I used was developed in Rodinal 1+25 for 16 minutes at 20*C and has still provided fairly soft tone gradation despite extended development.
As mentioned further down:
She simply set her spotmeter to the recommended ISO rating and placed the black ball of wool in the basket onto zone 3. Additional exposure was then given for the bellows extension factor. The recommended development time for Rodinal diluted 1+25 was 8 minutes, so that time was doubled
Seems to be that exposing FP4+ at box speed and then doubling the development time can lead to adequate negatives for salt printing.
Suitable paper for salted paper printing.
