DRAGONGATE. - An opening to creative perception. Wednesday, March 11, 2015. The Estuary: the Englishman River reaches the sea. Deciding on what story to tell.

Dragongate: August 2014
http://gardheim.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
DRAGONGATE. - An opening to creative perception. Monday, August 11, 2014. In Camera. Using the camera menu to create snappy imagery. I have become aware that many amateur photographers are using in-camera menu operations to add a little zip to their shared imagery. Fun, playful fun: and perhaps that is more interesting in the end and has more creative potential than the earnest but dull family photos and documentation of trips that have been the common product of the camera since the photo world began.

Dragongate: Ferry landing. Finding the interesting shots and telling a story.

DRAGONGATE. - An opening to creative perception. Thursday, April 30, 2015. Ferry landing. Finding the interesting shots and telling a story. The last ferry of the day arrives at Fulford Harbour. I have a few minutes to wait for the bus to arrive and my camera is in my hand. What would make this commonplace and dark scene interesting? I imagine several possibilities and settle for a very slow shutter speed and low iso and pan with the traffic flow. Now this is more like it! And of course more thoughts and...

Dragongate: July 2014

DRAGONGATE. - An opening to creative perception. Thursday, July 24, 2014. Revolting ideas in photography. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. The camera places itself between subject matter and the photographer. Yes well, that would seem obvious, but what is not noticed somehow is how intrusive the computer program is that supplies 'trouble-free' picture making. Today I experimented with shooting manually, just like in the 'old days' and the first thing I noticed is that I could choose not.

Dragongate: May 2014
http://gardheim.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
DRAGONGATE. - An opening to creative perception. Friday, May 16, 2014. In May, when sea-winds pierced our solitudes,. I found the fresh Rhodora in the woods,. Spreading its leafless blooms in a damp nook,. To please the desert and the sluggish brook. The purple petals fallen in the pool. Made the black water with their beauty gay;. Here might the red-bird come his plumes to cool,. And court the flower that cheapens his array. If the sages ask thee why. This charm is wasted on the earth and sky,. The inte...

Dragongate: Feeling our way into art: experiencing the vitality and walking the walk.

DRAGONGATE. - An opening to creative perception. Saturday, March 14, 2015. Feeling our way into art: experiencing the vitality and walking the walk. To understand art is to be able to grasp in some meaningful way its vitality. The vitality, what Hofmann calls its 'spirit', is always there and apprehensible in great paintings. We just have to give a little, we have to admit that we can feel the vitality and experience the reality. Hans Hofmann' edited by James Yohe,. In the above quote from this beautiful...

DRAGONGATE. - An opening to creative perception. Wednesday, February 18, 2015. The Stream: wading through the known to discover the possible, with faster shutter speeds. Close and fast and moving across. My line of sight. Fast shutter created a different effect. From a slow one. Interesting! Is from a shallow field of focus. I used a fast shutter here but really did not need to do that,. There is no motion! There is motion in the foreground but it. Is not near and is towards my line of sight. Control ove...

Dragongate: Exploring ways of framing in depth when making a photograph.
http://gardheim.blogspot.com/2015/04/exploring-ways-of-framing-in-depth-when.html
DRAGONGATE. - An opening to creative perception. Wednesday, April 8, 2015. Exploring ways of framing in depth when making a photograph. Foreground and background are out of focus. We are led to focus on the bird. Not by focus, but by severely limiting what is in the frame. Although the maple blossom and the sky are far apart in depth,. The flat blue acts like a simple blue backdrop. Depth of field, but there is enough fuzzy information. To provide interest and context. By focusing on the water texture,.

DRAGONGATE. - An opening to creative perception. Wednesday, October 15, 2014. Excalibur: walking to the edge of the known world. If a hand had risen, brandished a sword thrice, and sank back into the depths this would have simply confirmed our sense that we were standing at the world's end with our toes already within another dimension.
