9 January, 2015 – Practical Considerations For Time-Lapse Photography

09 Jan

 

Time-Lapse Photography is becoming a new interest of many photographers.  With almost every new consumer and pro camera introduced these days there is a time-lapse feature built in.  Even the newer smartphones have time-lapse as a setting.  I remember as a kid in school watching the time-lapse images of a flower growing from a seed or clouds moving across the sky in weather time-lapse movies. 

We are seeing time-lapse videos appear more and more often on You-Tube.  Some of these are quite spectacular and offer a new ways of seeing familiar scenes.  One of the pioneers and experts in this type of photography is German photographer Anna Possberg.  We are happy to publish her very detailed and extensive look into Practical Considerations For Time-Lapse Photography.  Take some time and enjoy this article and view some of the videos in the links.  Then grab your camera and go out and give it a try.

05 Jan

  

Right before the Holiday we published an article about the Fuji X-T1 and promised in that article a follow on article to the NEW Fuji 50-140mm 2.8 Zoom Lens.  We have had a lot of fun with this lens and we are really liking the results.  Fuji has once again made a very god lens adding to their already nice line of lenses. Take a look at the article Working With The Fuji 40-150mm Lens.

28 December, 2014 – Fraser Island Australia – Anatomy Of A National Geographic Assignment

29 Dec

 

 

Growing up I had two magazines that I always looked forward to receiving in the mail and they were Life Magazine and National Geographic.  I always wanted to photograph for these magazines and travel the world.  Well, I have traveled the world but never had a chance to shoot for these magazines.  Today’s article is by Peter Essick and he has lived the dream.  He has done a number of assignments for National Geographic and shares one of those with us in his Fraser Island Australia – Anatomy Of A National Geographic Assignment story.  Peter shares what it is like to pitch an assignment and what it takes to shoot one.  Plus, he takes pretty darn nice images.

22 December, 2014 – Four Seasons In France

22 Dec

We take a bit of a different twist today with an essay by Aaron Greenman, Four Season In France.  Aaron’s essay covers a bit of history, some insight into an old film called Autochrome and accompanying images he made using the look of Autochrome.  It’s an interesting read and a look at some interesting modern day images using the Autochrome effect.

20 December, 2014 – The Granting Process

21 Dec

 

In the last 15 years, I have had the privilege to meet and get know as well as make good friends with some of the finest photographers in the world.  Michael Reichmann is one of those photographers, and it has been a privilege to be able to travel to many of the different corners of the world with him. More than anything else he became one of my best and finest friends.  When I made the decision to joining Luminous-Landscape, I did so because we shared a common passion and a great desire to share that passion with others around the world.  Of course, the passion is photography and as the founder of the site Michael has shared his passion freely for fifteen plus years.  

Late last year Michael shared with me his latest passion, and as we headed into 2014, he began to work on the Luminous-Endowment.  His dream was to create an organization that could award grants to photographers so they could pursue and complete photographic projects that may not have been able to do without a form of assistance.  The Luminous-Endowment was born, and in less that a year the organization has raised a nice amount of money and made it’s first round of grants. Please stop over to the Luminous-Endowment site and learn more about what we do and also think about purchasing at our special Christmas price Michael’s Retrospective book.  All proceeds for the book go into the Luminous endowment.

Alain Briot one of the finest instructors I have met and a regular contributor on Luminous-Landscape is one of the jurors for the Endowment.  You can learn about the jurors on the Endowment site.  Today Alain shares with us his insight into The Granting Process and how a photographer who may interested in obtaining a grant can prepare better and submit a grant application that will give them an edge.  At the same time, it gives those of us who won’t be requesting a grant somethings to think about as we go about creating our regular work and projects.

16 December, 2014 – Photograph America Newsletter

17 Dec

 

For the last 15 years, I have been purchasing and using the Photograph America Newsletter published by Robert Hitchman.  I got turned onto this publication when I visited Big Bend National Park with some fellow photographers.  His guide was a tremendous help getting us to the best spots.  Every time I took a trip to a National Park or other popular photographic location I would check the big binder of newsletters from Robert. Now all his newsletters are available and fit on a jump drive.

The opportunity presented itself a few months ago to visit with Robert and along with Chris I did a short interview of the man behind the Photograph America Newsletter.  This short video is now available to view and download for $ 10 USD.  I know $ 10.00, but you receive 2 PDFs with the download plus, there is also an included PDF giving details of a 25% discount on your first purchase of the Newsletter or the whole collection – printed or electronic.  Check out the details and links to this offer at Photograph America Newsletter.

My good friend and mate Ken Duncan, from Australia, sent me a link to his Christmas Message yesterday.  Ken has an amazing landscape photography business and is one of the nicest guys I know. I’d like to share a link to this video as it contains some of Ken’s amazing landscape photography put to a classic Christmas song.  Enjoy!
