  In basic manual flash set up...if I want to use 2.8 aperture on the 12-40 pro...at iso 200 (outside portrait/people) so shallow depth of field desirable....how do I keep shutter speed under 1/250 if its a bright day and I want some fill in flash

  Hi Nick. You can lower your ISO to 100, and you can also try using a neutral density filter.

  As concerns light: I prefer LED light to flash. It takes a lot of experiments and adjustments to hit home with flash. Manipulating LED gives a more nuanced result without constant shutter activity.

  You are the Sherlock Holmes of B_W photography Judy: you find something interesting looking in everything. Must be a very humbling experience for folks who travel to Iceland and the Tropics to find something interesting to shoot. They could just as well start taking a closer look at their garbage can first. For one, it's way cheaper and usually just as rewarding.

  Judy I totally agree with the all the others - excellent explanations and examples! So isn‘t it a sin to give up all the opportunities to convert the colors by using a monochrome camera? Even in raw out of a monochrome camera you just got (only) blacks an whites to play with, some contrast and depth. Are those expensive tools only for night photography, or do you think you could make more use of it that would be worth to get one? Yeah, I purchased a pre owned one, but the first shots were just disappointing even with filters… did I wrong, am I just a victim of advertising? Kind regards, Andreas Grabinski, Germany

• 
  @judyhancockholland80073 ай бұрын

  My own view is that Leica is a "status symbol" camera. Great cameras, to be sure, but I would never buy a monochrome only camera. I want all the data of a full colour RAW file, because it allows me so much more scope for creative processing.

• 
  @judyhancockholland80076 ай бұрын

  Thanks for your kind words, Hyman. It's a combination of things... I use a piece of black velvet over a black trifold display as a background, a few feet behind the subject. The "wings" of the display help keep light off the background. Very often I use a flash, and set my shutter speed at 1/200 or 1/250 to cut down the ambient light. Sometimes I'll have to burn a few areas, but often not.

  Thank you, a wonderful journey using your eyes. I enjoy your photos, still, as you said, I feel different with some pictures like the tulip (like the color more, it breathes for me.. B/W is lovely, but in comparision to color this one not for me.) The horse and child is a wonderful theme, I for myself and please don't take this as a critique, I would wish it would be sharper.... it might just be YT and my hardware, don't know.... After all, I still have quite some way to go in your video. My personal travel started in 1987, congratulations and a big thank you for the amazing insights and gorgeous pictures. I do learn indeed a lot watching your content and hope, you are going on and doing well for a long time. Some are using high-end hardware , and some are creative masters like you are.

  I did the NASA creativity test and am pleased that I scored much better than average for my age (72). I once heard a great tip from a landscape photographer. 'You always have a camera with you so practice seeing photographs every day. The camera is just your own eyes.' There is a country park very close to my home. I sometimes walk through it and pass a simple, attractive footbridge over the river. I had walked past it many times. Last summer I had been studying monochrome landscapes and as I walked past this bridge again, I suddenly saw it in a completely different light. It took on a rather menacing aspect. There were trees on the far side casting deep shade and I saw in my mind's eye a composition of the bridge disappearing into the gloom. I photographed it and was very happy with the image especially as it got lots of approval from other photographers on a social media site. It encouraged me to envisage before pressing the shutter. I love the dying sunflowers image. Technically well done in isolating from the background but also your use of negative space and colours. Re: ETTR, I shoot raw files and use the editing program darktable ( Open source - free) and have adopted ETTR fairly recently (this technique goes against the techniques of film photography). It's enabled me to get some very high dynamic range landscapes and the program allows recovery of highlights without blocking deep shadow. Re: Wabi-Sabi: There is a series on English TV featuring an antique and curiosity trader who is based in North Wales. He often buys curios that have, as he puts it 'patina'. He searches out items that are old and slightly decaying, takes them to his workshop and repairs and cleans them but in a sensitive way so as not to destroy the piece's inherent life story if you will. Watching him has opened up my mind to new subjects. RE: 'Real' photographs (Ansel Adams section). IMO all photographs are an interpretation, even out of camera JPEGs. After all, a photo is a 2D representation of a 3D scene. I have often heard photographers boast 'This is straight out of the camera, no messing about' as though this gave the image some sort of extra merit. They would do well to study the work of Ansel Adams. RE: Post Processing. There's an old saying ' a good artist knows when to put down the brush'. I often walk away from an image I'm editing and revisit it the next day. It let's you see if you have over done something or missed something. RE:Critique group. This is such a good idea. I recently had a discussion with several photographers on social media. Almost all roundly condemned club photo competitions, mainly because of the judges inconsistency. Many were discouraged and disheartened by the experience and soon left the club. I used to teach Adobe Photoshop and photography in adult further education at my local college. soon after starting teaching, I realised so often I learned something valuable from my students. For myself the epitome of a great photographic image is isolation. By that I mean that as it's a 2D medium, it's important to separate all the different elements that make up the image, by contrast, colour, focus, light, shadow etc. Your work demonstrates that perfectly. I think a camera is like an autistic child. It takes in everything indiscriminately. A good photographer is able to filter out the extraneous. RE: Reading list. Many thanks. RE: this video. Great presentation, inspirational and very thought provoking and useful. Thank you.

  Hi, Judy. An absolutely superb presentation on a topic that is top of mind for me at the moment. I'm looking for an alternative to the scoring and ranking methodology that forms the basis of most competitive camera clubs.

I'm just in the process of establishing a small critique SIG and your talk could not be more timely. Thank you so much for sharing this.
