Frank Düpmann: A tutorial on High Dynamic Range images.

Ruins of former Russian sanatoriums (near Berlin) – „natural“ settings The Dynamic Range (DR) of your favourite camera is limited – that‘s the bad news. It means that in „challenging“ light situations, either the higlights are blown or there are no details in shadows, all black. In the example above, either the windows would be [...]

Michael Freeman: Removing the Unwanted

Specks of dust and people who wander uninvited into your frame (or inconveniently hang around and won’t leave) may not seem to have a great deal in common. But for image capture they share the quality of being unwanted. And because of that, they can be dealt with later, if you wish, with similar techniques. [...]

Michael Freeman – How Did You Shoot That? – Arboretum

I’ve become more and more interested these days in the relationship between color and black-and-white photographs. When to shoot for one or the other.

Michael Freeman: Color Themes

Color in photography can.have a life of its own, and depending on how you choose what you shoot, it can even become the subject of the image. Color anyway, even beyond photography, is very subjective: everyone has their own opinions about it, what mood it creates, personal likes and dislikes. Within photography, there have always [...]

Michael Freeman: How Did You Shoot That? – Geisha

As you can tell from the article on Color Themes on this week’s other page, I’m drawn to the idea of capturing a distinct and unified range of color in a scene, and the purpose of that article is to show you how to recognize it and plan for it. Here was a shot that [...]
