- My photos come from either my iPhone 13 Pro, which takes pretty bad pictures, or my Canon 6D MK II, which is a full-frame DSLR.
- For my DSLR, I almost always use my 50mm f/1.8 prime lens. Rarely, I instead use a 70-300mm telephoto zoom. Some of my photos will
- have metadata attached if you're curious about the settings I use. In good light, I shoot from around 1/2000, 100iso, f/1.8, ranging to
- 1/500, 400iso, f/6. In dark conditions, I shoot at around 1/200, 2000iso, f/1.8. Of course, a wide open aperture induces some significant
- gaussian blurring, so that is a stylistic element that I sometimes want and sometimes don't. It does mean that I can minimize grain and motion blur.
- The other thing that comes up is focal plane issues. Sometimes the plane of my subject does not exactly match the plane of focus, in which case
- I will be forced to step down the aperture. I try not to go below f/8 if I can help it, because the image becomes less clear.
- You may notice a vignette in some of pictures. This is usually not intentional--my lens just tends to do that. I'm too lazy to fix it in post.
- On the note of post-processing, I don't do it much. Sometimes I retouch shadows and highlights, but I try to stay away from colour, with the notable
- exception of my B&W work.
+ Photography is an interesting medium. It, of course, explores human conceptions of beauty: symmetry, contrast, colour.
+ It provides, too, a very literal image of projection--while humans live in a 3D space, a picture is usually viewed
+ in 2D. For this reason, the photographer has ultimate power over the image he shares; an infinite number of 2D slices
+ may be created of a 3D space. Despite this control, there is a way in which photography is different from other forms
+ of art: a photographer does not necessarily feel that he is <i>creating</i>; often, he feels that he is
+ <i>capturing</i>.
