Hacking Photography - one Picture at a time
No, this is not about food :) this is an easy way to remember the four key elements that makes a good photo: Design, Information, Emotion and Timing.
Photographer Craig Semetko explains how he sees that DIET to have a huge impact on a photograph. One element out of the DIET is good, but having three or more, is almost always a guarantee for a great photo. Hit the jump for some examples:
Ever wonder what it was like to shoot with a rangefinder? In this quick little vignette produced by Leica, street photographer Craig Semetko takes us on location as he wonders the city showing viewers the benefits of using a rangefinder firsthand. Semetko also explains how to use one, which is a slightly different process than your typical SLR.
“When you look through the viewfinder of an [Leica] M, everything is in focus. Everything has clarity whether it is behind your subject or in front of your subject or your subject itself. When you look through an SLR, you’re actually looking through the lens and the lens is going to show the picture it wants you to take. Things are going to be in focus and things are going to be out of focus. The M demands more from the photographer, it demands you use your imagination, that you think about what you’re doing, understand what it is you want to achieve then change your manual controls accordingly to achieve that vision.”
