Rockin' On: Photography: July 2014

http://rockinonphotography.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Monday, July 21, 2014. Finding routes to a good picture. I like faces. For the most part, faces full of expression add real zing to a picture. I am always asking myself, "Can I find a shooting position that will get capture the subject's face and reveal the emotions of the moment? Almost always the answer is yes. But Saturday at the Junction Climbing Centre. I now think a better angle for shooting this is a low angle showing the incredible height of the climb ahead of my adventurous granddaughter. In...

Rockin' On: Photography: Don't fake photographs

http://rockinonphotography.blogspot.com/2015/03/dont-fake-your-photographs.html

Sunday, March 1, 2015. I was looking at some images. Of my old high school in Windsor, Ontario. One image was especially striking. In fact, the dramatic sky with the perfectly placed billowing cloud looked simply too good to be true. My Photoshop sensor was twitching. I didn't have to wait long for confirmation. The very next picture, taken from another angle, had the same cloud formation soaring above the school. The only difference was that the cloud was flipped and the colour of the sky changed. Rocki...

Rockin' On: Photography: February 2015

http://rockinonphotography.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Saturday, February 28, 2015. Document the interaction between those you love. My oldest granddaughter, Fiona, 5, is getting pretty good at puzzles. She made grandma Judy promise not to finish the snowman puzzle while she is away on vacation. Grandma Judy agreed. The puzzle will sit undone for the next 12 days. Stuff like this is important to document. These are memories. This is the stuff that gives texture to life. Capture it. And don't ask anyone to, "Say cheese.". If the ceiling is white, as it is in ...

Rockin' On: Photography: Possibly the best rechargeables: Eneloop

http://rockinonphotography.blogspot.com/2015/04/possibly-best-rechargeables-eneloop.html

Friday, April 3, 2015. Possibly the best rechargeables: Eneloop. When my Fuji FinePix HS10 stopped working, I thought the camera might be toast. I found it hard to believe that all eight rechargeable batteries had died at exactly the same time. My granddaughter noticed the low-battery icon flashing before I lost all power. She said, "Change the batteries, Gug.". I was unable to find these batteries in either the electronic stores or the camera stores located near me in London, Ontario and so I went onlin...

Rockin' On: Photography: March 2015

http://rockinonphotography.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Sunday, March 29, 2015. IPhone Picture in a Pinch. No Are the colours accurate? Not really. So, what does this photo have going for it? It is an important moment, a milestone. Judy, grandma, is 67. I forgot my camera at home and the camera that should have been handy wasn't. We were celebrating Judy's 67th birthday at the other grandparent's home and their camera had also been left at my home, too. I thought we were camera-less. Thank you, Fiona.".

Rockin' On: Photography: May 2015

http://rockinonphotography.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Saturday, May 16, 2015. Seeing through another's eyes. Clearly, it is not possible to truly see through another's eyes but, that said, it is possible to be inspired by the vision of others. My image today is a good example of this. I hadn't really paid attention to this and if one doesn't pay attention the moment will pass. The magnolia is only in bloom for a very brief period in the spring. There are only a few days to catch the shot. Isla made me see this and I thank her for it. Rockin' On: the Blog.

Rockin' On: Photography: April 2015

http://rockinonphotography.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Monday, April 13, 2015. See more in less. Some time ago I joined a Facebook group, Abiotic Minimal Photography. Members were encouraged to post photos with a minimalist focus. I joined but before I could shoot and post many suitable images, the group folded. Why: Too much interest. You read correctly: Too much, not too little, interest. Founder Isabelle de Touchet wrote:. A Footprint of Feelings. Erika Nagy's is the last shot shown. What was the point of this post? Friday, April 3, 2015. When my Fuji Fin...

Rockin' On: Photography: January 2015

http://rockinonphotography.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Saturday, January 3, 2015. When I watch folk taking quick shots with their point-and-shoot cameras, I'm often amazed at how little thought they put into the angle from which they take the picture. All too often, the shooter simply lifts the camera to eye level and fires off a shot or two. And looking up caused the little girl's eyes to sparkle with highlights caused by the nearby window. Highlights add life to eyes. Highlights should rarely be ignored. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Rockin' On: the Blog.

Rockin' On: Photography: KISS: Keep it simple stupid

http://rockinonphotography.blogspot.com/2015/07/kiss-keep-it-simple-stupid.html

Wednesday, July 22, 2015. KISS: Keep it simple stupid. Mom took this with my Canon PowerShot S90: a true point and shoot. Ah KISS: a fine command and so very appropriate in so many places. Buy a simple camera like a Canon PowerShot S90 and reap benefits for years to come. Simple cameras carry lots of benefits. Remember, the goal for most of us is simply capturing a good picture. Often simple cameras making capturing simple, good pictures easy. Mom wasn't familiar with my camera but that wasn't a problem&...
