My Photos Were Interrupted in the Most Incredible Way
In this week's photography tutorial I head to the stunning Holy Island of Lindisfarne in the UK for landscape, seascape and sunset photos. But I was in for a huge surprise when I found something wild that interrupted my photography.
I give my best tips and tricks for landscape photography, including improving my composition with better foreground interest, how I use light and colours and how I use circular polarizers for better skies.
Spoiler alert: It was a seal pup that I found on the harbour. I kept nearby (but not too close) to keep an eye on it and tried to get in touch with various local animal charities who may be able to advise on whether it needed help. And while I wasn't sure wh...

      Thanks Paul, I think that's what does it for me, too. It's certainly a more dramatic shot in black and white. I think what's maybe putting me off is that it's the only black and white in the whole series so as a result it feels a bit out of place. Whereas the colour version fits as part of the 'set'. Do you think that makes sense?

    @TeddyCavachon 5 дней назад

    Back in 1972 I got a job assisting top wedding photographer/teacher Monte Zucker who rose to fame based on his technique of using dual flash to control scene range so the groom’s black suit and bride’s white dress would both be correctly exposed on color prints used in the wedding albums. This requires two light sources: Fill to lift the entire scene to the point the film or sensor can record shadow detail at the aperture desired for DOF, and then; overlapping an off axis Key light over the Fill to create highlights, raising its power until the highlights are correctly exposed and ENTIRE SCENE RANGE MATCHES RANGE OF PRINT PAPER or today the fixed range of the camera sensor. I had actually learned that before going to work for Monte from a Kodak “How To Take Portraits” book which suggested placing Fill light directly behind and above the camera (projecting its shadow down out of sight of lens) and key light over the head of the subject 45° to the side of the nose to duplicate the 3D modeling produced by the noon day sun. It worked so well my girlfriend / model used the portrait in the school yearbook instead of the one taken by the photographer the school had hired. I’ve always used the centered-fill / key light approach when using flash because it is the only way to always record a full range of detail with NATURAL 3D rendering regardless of subject size. After my career took me in a different direction - into the photo lab at National Geographic - I continued to use dual flash for my personal work in 35mm and med. format with fill flash always on a bracket over the lens and off camera flash on a stand. Since getting my first digital camera in 2000 I’ve used the same Stroboframe camera-flip bracket for my on camera flash and as linked below created my own DIY diffuser for creating on-axis fill for macro shooting. What you discovered, which most shooting macro don’t realize, is that the traditional macro flash lighting strategies, ring or two flashes on axis at opposite 45° both create a full range if detail in most situations but the angle of the lighting and the shadow and specular highlight clues that our brains use to see 3D shape in 2D reproductions are in the ‘wrong’ places on the subjects in that they do not match the PATTERNS of highlight and shadow the sun creates. Ring flash was actually developed by Nikon back in the 1960s to document surgical and dental procedures where the goal was flat even lighting in deep body cavities and being able to keep camera and flash sterile by wrapping it with a drape. Crossed flash lighting provides key and fill but where the shadows from both flashes cross you get ‘cross-shadow lighting’ and no detail on any shadows they create. The solution to get fill on axis over the lens is solved by the type of macro diffuser many macro shooters now use for single flash shots. I created and published plans for one about 15 years ago on my web site and photo forums when I started doing dual flash macro: photo.nova.org/MacroDiffuser/ using my two Canon 580ex flashes. The diffuser on the off camera flash is also one I created and published plans for at photo.nova.org/DIY01/ The advantage of dual flash vs single flash off axis is precise control of the scene range to ensure that detail is always recorded in the shadows illuminated by the on-axis fill source. A single flash flash off axis creates shadow that need some source of fill and any fill source placed on the opposite side from the key light (e.g. reflector) will to some degree create ‘crossed shadow’ lighting with no detail in low areas and the specular highlight clues the fill creates will not match the pattern seen in natural light where the fill source usually does not create any shadows or specular highlights. A more natural look can be obtained in dual flash shots by cloning out any ‘catchlights’ the fill creates or placing them on the upper surfaces of 3D objects which is accomplished by keeping fill source above the lens and wrapping it around the sides of the subject as much as possible to mimic skylight fill, the perceptual baseline for ‘’normal”.
