Tea Lover

Alexander Dragunov is a Russian photographer.
“Alexander believes that the most difficult issue is to be different from other photographers, and to find one’s own unique style. He said, he’s not quite there yet. Alexander is just an ordinary traveling photographer, but he’s on the right road to success. The implementation for him is something secondary.”
I particularly liked this photo because it looks like one of those sneaky, candid photos taken without the subject being aware.  It it also an extra bonus that he is drinking tea. His other work also have some pretty nice composition as well.

Venezia by Isac Goulart

 

I came across Isac Goulart when looking for some inspiration. I love the strong colors present in his work and the compositions are fantastic too!
“Isac is a photographer by vocation, but photography is just a hobby. He works as an English teacher for university age students. He thinks that the biggest difficulty in photography is the pursuit of inspiration and the process of catching the perfect moment. The implementation, or execution, in photography is a skill that can be acquired only with time, but without creativity or precise timing, it is usually weak and ineffective.”

DOF: Lytro Camera

So this is a bit out of the realm of the basics of black and white film photography, but I thought I’d share with everyone this cool new technology.
These cameras use light-field photography and it captures light in a way that you can change the focus of the photograph after the fact. I thought this might be interesting to some after talking about depth of field in photography. Good news is you can buy the 1st gen. Lytro camera for $200-250. The bad news, the Lytro Illum is running at $1,600 currently. It’s definitely something to keep your eye on as they perfect this technology and the better cameras come down in price.
You can check out more about the cameras here or check out photos made with those cameras here.

    It kind of reminds me of the scene in Mary Poppins when the chimney sweeps are dancing and singing on the roof. Haha! But back on subject… my favorites are the photos taken in Hong Kong.

    I have a new found appreciation for pet photographers after I helped Amie take pictures of her dog Phoebe. There’s a combination of luck and skill to get good photos of animals.

    I love the detail that can be found in architecture as well as the overall look building have. Sometimes the simplicity of black and white photography can really help hone in on the beautiful intricacies of things.

    Morell’s photographs are really interesting to look at. He has one where the Eiffel Tower is reflected in a room. It just seems so difficult to find just the right room to show the view desired and get permission to use that room and make the room into a camera. Realizing how difficult that could be makes the photos even more impressive.
