Dag 37: At fotografere kunst - et hestehoved foran de andre

Min fotoopgave i dag var et stykke kunst, som jeg forestillede mig skulle vises i et kunstkatalog. Jeg valgte en hvid baggrund, så skyggen af skulpturen kunne være en del af kompositionen.

En SB-900 flash er placeret til venstre for kameraet, og peger mod skulturen i en vinkel på 30 grader. En SB-700 flash er placeret til højre for kameraet og peger mod skulpturen i en vinkel på 60 grader. En Heavy Frost gel blev monteret på begge SB'er. For at styre flashoutput brugte jeg Pocket Wizard FlexTT5 på begge SB'er og Pocket Wizard Mini TT1 og Pocket Wizard AC3 på min Nikon D300.

SB-900 var indstillet til gruppe A og SB-700 til gruppe B. Med stop-drejeknappen på PW AC3 styrede jeg blitzoutput i trin på 1/3 stop, indtil jeg var tilfreds med lysfordelingen.

Nikon D300 var i A-tilstand med en eksponering på 1/60 sek ved f/10. Jeg brugte en Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom ved 110mm.

I LR3 brugte jeg "Clarity" og "Tone Curve" til at justere kontrast- og skyggeområderne. Mætning er -100 (B/W).

Two Paths - Day 64

Days are going by - time is flying - we are getting older - the world is moving. Tic Tac Tic Tac. My professional career has come to a halt and it's time to reflect about the possibilities that opens up in such a situation. It's been a month since I stopped at Strålfors and all days (and some nights) has been used to reflect upon this situation. I've chosen to follow the obvious path - find a new job - and all my network is being activated. But another path has slowly emerged - and to no ones surprise - this path evolves around photography. I'm not talking about becoming a photographer, but to become part of the industry. Tomorrow I'll fly to Stockholm to meet some interesting people who successfully has opened a photography museum in Stockholm - Fotografiska.eu - and I'm going to here about their project and journey. The photo that I shot this afternoon in the woods nearby my home symbolise the break from Strålfors and the two new paths that I've ch...

Press photographer has to face a lot of moral issues

Every year we hear about press photographers being killed while trying to capture a decisive photo and document the truth. They also have to face a bunch of moral issues while being close to death and people in need of help. In my opinion it is vital to capture a photo that can influence decisions on a large scale. But when faced with the choice of either keep taking pictures or trying to change the course of a situation by personal interaction (and maybe risk your own life), I can only imaging the moral issues a press photographer must deal with in a few decisive seconds.
