I've been giving some thought to Russ's work, and I've reached a couple conclusions. One, it pays to be in an area of the country which has spectacular scenery, two, it pays to have a good camera and KNOW HOW TO USE IT, and three, one must have a good photographic imagination. I think, after some thought, the last one is the most important. I'm a long way from getting close to Russ in any of them. Thanks for the thoughts, and you are correct on all three counts. However, even though it's been many years since I've had a chance to shoot it, I found Washington DC immensely photogenic, both night and day. I have hundreds of color slides of the area that I shot in the late 70's. I'd love to return sometime and shoot it again. Great scenery can be found within a day's drive of many places, although I'll admit that the southwestern US is indeed hard to beat in that department. Two places that are on my wish list for places to shoot are Great Smoky Mountains National Park and New England in the Fall. Both are a whole lot closer to you than to me. Natural beauty is where you find it. You just have to seek it out. It's usually not all that far away. Technically mastering your equipment is extremely important, but really not all that difficult. All it takes is a commitment to be a student and devote the necessary time and resources to learn the technical fundamentals of photography and the nuances your particular gear. There is no shortage of resources to assist in this process whether it be how-to books, classes/workshops or online tutorials. The technical fundamentals of photography haven't really changed since Ansel was dragging his tripod around Yosemite. Focus, exposure and composition. Today's gear can do much of the thinking for the first two, allowing you to concentrate more on the third. What's really changed in the last 10 years are the possibilities offered by the digital darkroom. Today's editing software allows the user to turn ordinary images into good ones and good ones into truly outstanding ones. Once again, there is no shortage of learning resources available for whatever editing package you choose to use. Your third concept of a good photographic imagination I think the most difficult thing to nail down. I suppose some are born with a photographer's eye, but it can be learned as well. However, it takes time and effort, and a lot of practice, just like mastering the technical fundamentals. I have two recommendations. First, look at other people's images and get a sense of what works and what doesn't. Discover what type of photography most interests you. Most photographers tend to gravitate to a particular specialty. Some love to photograph people. Others prefer to capture landscapes. Others enjoy stalking wildlife or shooting urban street scenes. There are countless books with wonderful images, but the internet makes things even more convenient and affordable. I spend quite a bit of time in the forums at Nikonians.org. Since I shoot primarily landscapes (many from my boat), I spend most of my time in the landscape forum, and I often post images there. There are forums that cover just about every specialty of photography, as well as very helpful forums covering specific equipment and techniques. The forums are a gathering of Nikon shooters from all over the world. Some of the stuff that is posted is pretty poor, from people early in the learning process, but much of it is quite masterful and inspiring. Much can be learned from examining both - what works and what doesn't. In addition to the images themselves, there is often constructive criticism of the photos that can be quite helpful in learning how an image could be improved in editing or have been better captured in camera. Most, including myself, will post along with each image the camera, lens, and shooting data to aid the viewer in understanding how the image was captured. Nikonians.org is just one of hundreds such websites devoted to photography. Secondly, the most important thing to do is to shoot a lot and shoot often, and then critique your own work. This is perhaps the biggest gift of digital photography. Once the gear is purchased, it costs the same to shoot a thousand pictures as it does to shoot ten. Shooting a thousand images in a weekend will help familiarize you with your gear and train your eye like nothing else. This would have been cost-prohibitive in the days of film. Since I normally bracket everything I shoot, it's safe to say that 90% of my shots get culled in the editing process. It costs nothing to reformat the memory card and start again, and I'll typically learn something even from the rejected shots. I make boneheaded mistakes every time I go out shooting, but they are always learning experiences, and my skill set has improved considerably in the past several years. I expect that gradual improvement will continue in the coming years, and I look forward to the results from it. But like anything else, you have to decide if the pursuit is worth the effort. I don't know anyone who just buys a nice camera and then starts producing quality images from the get-go. Snapshots yes, photographs not so much. I've purchased and read dozens of photography books and shot thousands of photos in the past several years. I've attended workshops. I continue to upgrade my gear. I'm out before dawn for the good light. It's really no different than fishing or golf. I've done both enough to know that I have no innate ability for either one, and have even less desire to learn. But I recognize that the difference between being a pathetic hack at either or being proficient enough to really enjoy the endeavor is all about the commitment of study and practice. If you ever make it out west, let me know and we'll go find something to shoot. Just be prepared to get up early. RG Thanks Russ. I'll do it. Thanks for all the advice also. |
