Picture sales and an open notebook of thoughts from Orginal Robart
Flowers are a bit of a gift. Full of interesting shapes, colours and tones. Since they are such a gift it means that flowers can be used as models when trying out something new, or exploring the craft of photography. I’d decided to explore Luminance – the open source HDR tool. The idea was simple, take some pictures of the same flower at different F-Stops and run them through Luminance, see what happens and learn from it.
As I write this Luminance is chugging away in the background. My images are complex and not taken through a tripod. So right now it is attempting to fix an alignment between images. So first tip when running a HDR experiment – use a tripod.
No back to the photography. True to form I had to play around with lighting and focus and as a result realised that I had come up with an image that I quite liked. I think this helps to prove a couple of old axioms.
- Thinking about getting a good picture is more likely to lead to a good picture.
- Experimentation leads to discovery
- Good art is where you find it.
