Saturdays Online: Revisiting Amache

Recently published Photos of Amache taken to document the Internment Process.  The Water Tower doesn't quite look the same as the recreation below:

And remembering also that Ansel Adams was commissioned to photograph Internees at Manzanar.

Sundays Online: Landscape Photography Etiquette

But this actually applies to all photographers.  Etiquette is what makes us civilized.  Recently I commented on the wanton destruction of Race Track Playa, some of it done by photographers who didn't want anyone to ever see the same rock they had photographed.

Apparently this attitude is on the increase as a recent PetaPixel article reminds us to mind our manners:

I assure you that no other photographers were injured in the making of this image of Death Valley, and no Landmarks were destroyed!

Same image, with diffuser, but out of focus.  A mistake, but I like it!

Photo Workshop @ Hudson Gardens

Haven't shot color for a while (because I don't like Fuji Film).  But recently took a workshop with Local Artist Eli Vega and thought I would try some color along the way.  Not my best but some interesting things; And I know what I would do differently next time:

So we were learning how to use a diffuser:  With Diffuser (above) and without (Below).

This week we will look at some color results; next week we'll look at the B&W which I expect to be much better.

Hope you are having a relaxing Labor Day!
