Great Photography Book: Within the Frame

Oleksandr — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 20:01:28 +0000

I can’t recommend highly enough this book to all my friends with cameras. It is a great book about photography and photographic vision. I enjoy every page of it. You can check out David’s web site at http://www.pixelatedimage.com. He also has published several eBooks which can be purchased from his Craft and Vision web site for just $5! The Withing the Frame book is available at Amazon.com.

Enjoy!

Just a few images…

I was walking down the water front with my family and friends on Sunday afternoon and took these images. There was a photographer taking pictures of the downtown. I took my first shot. Then he packed and quickly leave. I took the second shot. As we walked back, the sun went down and there were city lights reflecting in the water. Beautiful!

What I am reading: Visual Poetry

Oleksandr — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:32:01 +0000

I know, I have a few photographers who read my blog. So, this post might be interesting for you.

My beloved Santa brought me a nice gift for Christmas – several books about photography. The one of them is Visual Poetry by Chris Orwig. I enjoy reading it very much and here is why. The book is not about lens and exposures, it is about how to create better pictures. Once you pass the technical stuff and learn what is Av vs Tv mode, you would need to learn how to create pictures which speak, bring some feelings and make the viewer think. Besides being technically perfect, the pictures has to have some meaning, carry some message, engage some emotions. What do we have to do to create such images? This book may give you some answers. Here is what it says in the book overview:

“A great photograph has the potential to transcend verbal and written language. But how do you create these photographs? It’s not the how that’s important, but the who and the what. Who you are as a person has a direct impact on what you capture as a photographer.

Whether you are an amateur or professional, this guide provides inspiration, simple techniques, and assignments to boost your creative process and improve your digital images using natural light and no additional gear.”

You can visit visual-poet.com to learn more about Chris and his book. I particularly like guest speakers sections in the book where you can learn about other photographers and their work.

The book can be purchased from Amazon.
