i’m going to try and post more photos here, even though i’ve been pretty lousy about it lately. here’s a neat one i took last weekend over near watertown in the late afternoon. things i’m trying to do:
1) capture a diagonal [roof, clouds]- a book i’ve been reading about photo composition stresses that strong diagonals make for compelling photos.
2) “simultaneous contrast†an idea introduced to me at a nifty talk here at school by dan margulis, universally acclaimed as one of the world’s finest color correctionists.
if i understood him correctly, what i want to do is not just have good contrast in my images, but have strong contrast between colorful segments of the photo [ie exaggerate differences between blues and yellows in the sky].
