Photo Album
| My fourth SLR digital camera is an EOS
40D. Previously a Canon EOS 30D and before that an EOS 10D. What makes
you think that I am happy in the Canon 'stable'?
I have got used to coping with the 1.6 multiplication factor of
focal length to convert existing lenses to the smaller digital chip size.
However, one gains at longer focal lengths when a 400mm lens (in 35mm terms)
becomes a whopping 640mm in the digital domain. |
| I have been successful in having
two prints and one digital image accepted for the Welsh Photographic
Salon this year (2008) Here they are. The first is in the projected
image category. |

Below are links to my main photographic pages.
It keeps on growing! Categories start off as broadly geographical:
countries and then subdivisions.
I am also a member of the Vale Photographic Club
which meets most Fridays at Ystradowen Village Hall, just a couple of
miles from Aberthin. We now have an excellent (I think!) web site here:

I recently saw this description of the
different kind of photographs that we, who enthuse for taking pictures, are
probably subliminally aware.
The author is Michael Reichmann and examples
of his work can be seen at
here
Please come back afterwards!

Snapshots:
These are the photographs that we all take when we have a camera with
us and see something that catches our fancy. For the most part they are
either an aide memoir or a means for us to share with others
who weren't there what we saw at a given time and place.
When on a serious shoot these are hardly worth stopping for. But, if
the time permits one can stop the car, take a shot and move on. They are
rarely worth setting up a tripod for though.
Postcards:
A postcard in my vernacular is a photograph worth taking,
but one which one knows from the outset will never rise above being
just another pretty picture. The reason for taking it is because
either the subject or the light is so appealing that the photographer
within simply has to capture the scene. It's likely worth setting up the
tripod, and maybe, just maybe, if a way can be found to make it work it
might rise above being just a postcard, but not likely. There's an
aesthetic appreciation but no emotional context.
Images:
No description is necessary. When you first see it your heart races,
and you know that there is something there worth capturing. You fumble
with your tripod, hoping that you can set it up in time, before the
light changes or something prevents you from capturing the moment. Even
after the shot has been made, you fret that you've gotten the right
exposure or that some technical gremlin won't get in the way of an
eventual perfect print.
These are the ones worth travelling hundreds or even thousands of
miles for. These are the ones that lying in your sleeping bag or motel
bed that night you visualize as a final image. This is what you live
for.
