Joanna journeys with a camera: Do I have a shooting style?
http://joannajourneyswithacamera.blogspot.com/2012/07/do-i-have-shooting-style.html
Joanna journeys with a camera. Wednesday, July 18, 2012. Do I have a shooting style? I'm still learning to use the modes of this camera and I usually shoot in the program mode or the aperture priority mode because I often use the macro setting and like to have the background out of focus. Also I am more and more using exposure compensation and the histogram. I'm beginning to push myself to do more experimenting with camera modes, depending on the situation. As for location, the world around me is what in...

Joanna journeys with a camera: July 2012
http://joannajourneyswithacamera.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Joanna journeys with a camera. Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Calling yourself an artist. Here's a tricky subject: deciding if I am an artist or not. It's something I've struggled with since I was a child. You know how families do that thing of assigning labels to each child? What is “art? In its narrowest sense, visual art is often thought of as paintings, sculptures and drawings- the things we would see in an art gallery. But I would also include collage, multi-media, installations, printmaking, cartoon...

Maggie's Trip to Mazatlan: February 2009
http://maggiestriptomazatlan.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Maggie's Trip to Mazatlan. This blog is a way for friends and family to keep up with our driving trip to Mazatlan along with Maggie, our ten-year-old Border Collie. Last year we explored part of Mexico in our motor home with both our dogs. This year we've rented an apartment in Mazatlan for December and January and will see how it feels to spend a bit of the winter in one place. Tuesday, February 10, 2009. Up on Haliburton Hill.

Joanna journeys with a camera: August 2012
http://joannajourneyswithacamera.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Joanna journeys with a camera. Wednesday, August 1, 2012. I haven't really paid much attention to cinematography while watching movies, except for those ones like Winged Migration. When it's really the subject of the film. The camera work is slow and deliberate. There is a contrast between dark saturated colours for the interiors and quite high key, almost blown out exposures outdoors. And always there is the counterpoint of the beautiful turquoise ocean. It's a gorgeously filmed series- and ...Although ...

Joanna journeys with a camera: Exploring point of view
http://joannajourneyswithacamera.blogspot.com/2012/07/exploring-point-of-view.html
Joanna journeys with a camera. Sunday, July 22, 2012. Exploring point of view. The assignment is to pick a subject and go beyond the usual point of view. It's true in photography (as in life) that we do have al habitual point of view. Mine does vary depending on the subject but often I'm looking straight at something or else close up to it at eye level. Looking up into the branches from this side gave some nice results with a cedar tree in the background. Finally I did some macros of the bark and other d...

Joanna journeys with a camera: December 2011

Joanna journeys with a camera. Sunday, December 4, 2011. How interesting that the word journal and journey are so similar. I've started this blog because I'm taking Kat's Find Your Eye Photography course to learn more about my own visual journey. The first step is to create a photo journal and this is what I've created.

Joanna journeys with a camera: Poppies
http://joannajourneyswithacamera.blogspot.com/2012/06/poppies-in-pot-on-outdoor-table-in-my.html
Joanna journeys with a camera. Tuesday, June 19, 2012. Poppies in a pot on the outdoor table in my friend's back yard. Something dreamy about the out-of-focus bamboo in the background and the backlighted hairs on the stems. I like the light in this photograph. June 23, 2012 at 3:01 AM. Wow it almost looks like a painting! I love the detail of the hairs sticking out of the stem and forming a halo around the buds. July 4, 2012 at 10:24 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Joanna journeys with a camera: Walking without the camera
http://joannajourneyswithacamera.blogspot.com/2012/07/walking-without-camera.html
Joanna journeys with a camera. Friday, July 13, 2012. Walking without the camera. But to me, just seeing the image can sometimes be enough. I found that my other senses were more heightened on this walk. I was hearing the songs of the birds and the sound of running water and the wind in the trees. Also I found I looked up more and saw more of the sky. (This photo is form my archives and shows a bit of what I saw.). July 14, 2012 at 3:35 PM. Wonderful description of your experience! Exploring point of view.

Joanna journeys with a camera: Solving focus problems
http://joannajourneyswithacamera.blogspot.com/2012/07/solving-focus-problems.html
Joanna journeys with a camera. Wednesday, July 11, 2012. Continuing along with my photographic explorations, I'm taking another session of Kat's online courses. This one is the Journey of Inspiration. The first lesson is to think about how I solved a photography problem in the past and how that learning might apply to current problems I'm facing. Everything opened up for me and I was able to take images like these two where there's a shallow depth of field and the focus is on one detail. I have an olympu...
