Photography Nerds: Attended a lecture with John Sexton today.
So I saw John Sexton give a lecture today and got to hear him talk about photography in general, and his life working with Ansel Adams. It's super inspiring stuff.
Reference of who he is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Sexton_(photographer) Anyone still shoot with film and in Black and White? It was super cool learning about Ansel Adams' secrets. Last edited by denkigrve; 07-24-2012 at 09:59 PM. |

It's not just about shooting in BnW. It was all about shooting in film, and the processes used to create Ansel Adams' images. It's basically the same processes we use in Photoshop today, but with far more at stake when you mess up. He showed some raw photos developed from the actual negatives, and then the ones that Adams had processed and dodged/burned just to get the image right. It was incredible to see the difference.
The talk really justified my hatred for everything I shoot, and trying to shoot better photos the next time. It also makes me want to go back into the dark room. It's been years since I shot on film. I miss it a lot, but it's just so damned expensive. There's nothing like taking every shot seriously though since a wasted shot is wasted. There is no deleting it and shooting again, no previews. Just shoot and hope it turned out right. |
