Imagine having a special moment – with your loved ones, friends, or by yourself. A romantic spot, a fun trip, your kid’s first steps, or something else that made you want to pull out your camera, snap and share.  

Unfortunately, what happens next is pretty common … the photo you took is a dull, disappointing record of a great moment or a great place. You wanted to capture that excitement, warm fuzzy feeling or impressive view. But all you got is a lifeless shot. 

Enter composition and light!

No Mirage: Unlock a Secret Pool Hidden in the Mojave Desert

07 Jul

[ By WebUrbanist in Art & Installation & Sound. ]

desert pool installation project

An art installation with a side of rugged adventure, the Social Pool is a project open to the public but locked and with a location only revealed via coordinates that lead visitors on a long trek to its discovery.

Seekers must first travel to the MAK Center for Art and Architecture in West Hollywood and retrieve one of four keys that open the pool, and will be tasked with taking one gallon water to help refill it as well. Los Angeles area travelers do not stumble upon it by accident – it is not on any road, trail or path.

Keys are to be returned within 24 hours, whether or not you find the secret spot and uncover the cool pool of filtered water, powered by solar panels. You cannot reserve a key in advance – you must show up and see if one is available. Uncertainty is part of the experience, like it or not.

Designed by Austrian artist Alfredo Barsugli, LAist describes it as something “meant to reflect on the lengths humans would go to in the pursuit of luxury,” but also as a good excuse to spend some time exploring an amazing desert landscape.

Barsugli is not new to strange desert installations – a previous piece, the Oderfla Beauty Resort, featured a spa building semi-submerged in desert sand.

It is also worth stocking up on gas, food and water and watching out for snakes, lizards and hares along the way. Hint: the pool is not close to the MAK. Its position is only given broadly to the public: somewhere in the southern Mojave Desert between Joshua Tree and Apple Valley. Images by Alfredo Barsugli and Juliet Bennett Rylah of LAist.

The Challenges and Opportunities of Night Photography

Getting your camera out after the sun goes down is something that presents us as photographers with a lot of potential but also many challenges.

  • On one hand night time is a time of many possibilities for creative images – the beauty of city skylines, dusk landscapes, atmospheric portraits and more.
  • But on the other hand the challenges include blurry photos, faces that are nuked by flashes and poorly exposed shots

Considering so much of our life happens after dark – it’s an important topic to tackle – which is why we wanted to bring this course to you today!

What You Get with Neil’s Night Photography Video Course

You can get a full run down of the course on it’s information page (including a full rundown of topics covered) but in short it gives you a great coverage of how to approach night photography, choose settings, use the Histogram on your camera, focus in low light and also tackles issues facing different types of camera owners (from smartphone though to high end DSLR).

You also get some great case studies of different types of night photography and also a great set of lectures on post processing your images.

All in all it is 20+ lectures and over 3 hours of content in these videos.

Get Access to this Course at 38% Off Today Only
