Quotes<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The tool so many of us use to make our art\u2014the camera\u2014is also a way to see the world; to be more alive in this world. It can be a tool that brings such joy, and a means of saying things about the world, and ourselves, that we might not have otherwise. … It holds you to no obligation except that you hold it to your eye and see things anew.<\/em>” — David DuChemin<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMost of the pictures you see, you actually miss. So inevitably, what you end up doing is taking a lot of rubbish. In fact, the basic theory is, the more rubbish you take the better the chances of a good photo emerging as well. So, keep on taking the rubbish.<\/em>\u201d
— Martin Parr<\/strong>, Magnum Photographer, from The Art of Street Photography<\/p>\n

“Saturate yourself with your subject, and the camera will all but take you by the hand and point the way<\/em>.” \u2014 Margaret Bourke-White<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Nick Brandt: This empty world<\/a> Incredible realistic composites addressing the constant habitat destruction from “progress.”

Photoshop Techniques<\/strong>:
– Making reflections<\/a> Uses blend modes, blur, wave and Blend-If
– Fix banding in your images<\/a><\/p>\n

Camera\/Field Techniques:<\/strong>
– Choosing the right neutral density filter<\/a> Think in advance of what effect you are seeking. Too long, and the effect is overdone, i.e., I don’t like milk in my streams, but smooth water can be very nice.<\/p>\n

From Steve Oney<\/strong>:

The Stad Amsterdam, a three-masted clipper design, was in town this week. It takes the best qualities of clipper ships, but has some improvements to make it safer like having a steel hull. She is quite fast for a sailing ship. Her normal speed is 15 knots. Her crew is Dutch, but the language on board is English.
