Question: Thanks for the answer and congratulations for the great lecture
yesterday (Thursday, 9th) at the Toronto Camera Club. I really appreciated
the fact that you took time to answer me. I would never expect that.
Regarding the lecture, I really liked what you said about using any light and
not only those "magic moments" before and after sunset. I work
full-time and am working on my masters degree, so I have to use any free time
to practice and that almost never happens in the times when the light is considered
appropriate. Moreover, when I have a whole day off I want to keep shooting
all the time as you said you do. The editor of Practical Photography wrote once that he felt frustrated
one day when he went to Madrid because of the harsh sunlight during most of
the day. However, to compensate for the frustration he went to see a couple
of expositions and was really impressed how the local photographers master
the harsh light producing amazing and colourful pictures. Well, after seeing
your pictures, especially those at Masterfile, I figure I have lots more to
learn and practice. Unfortunately, the weather in Toronto is not
collaborating. Maybe I'll try some studio shots as you suggested. You should really consider writing a book. You have the gift of being
able to put complex techniques in very simple terms, making them sound very
easy. You could do it through the Internet as Stephen King, using the honor
system for downloads and publishing in parts, every six months or so.
Anyways, it's just an idea. Thanks a lot, |
