Photo Notes – August 25, 2014 (#1)

Welcome to what I hope to be a new feature on this blog going forward. Hopefully weekly, but no promises as I’m starting this out and seeing how it works. It’s a place to gather some items I’ve come across since the last entry in the series.

Topics will be photography related, but rarely to images (though there is one below). Mostly expect to see tutorials and thoughts of models or photographers here. Subject to change of course as I figure out exactly how I want this to work.

  • Begin with a stunning composite landscape image image via PetaPixel
  • In the DIY equipment category comes this diffusion panel.
  • Some thoughts from model Keira Grant on the perils and rewards of outdoors shooting. A lot of good thoughts here for photographers who don’t do it often, but are interested in trying it out.
  • Going with the last entry some thoughts by model Katja Gee on the experience of modeling. Some of the reasons that it’s not easy and why I really appreciate those who pose for me and others.
  • Research from Microsoft on smoothing out those videos taken from helmets or mountain bikes. The part of me that came this close to doing a Master’s Degree focused around computer graphics is fascinated by this stuff.
  • Lastly good advice from a cat. My primary lesson from a workshop I recently attended was to not half ass anything. Do it with full intent, or don’t do it.
