Photographic artists wanting to expand their imaging horizons may be surprised where those horizons may be. You may be thinking in traditional photographic terms, but for real originality you can look at alternative optics to to place in front of your camera. Once example can be a telescope, and there are legions of astrophotographers out there that got into astronomy just for the imaging. Another less popular but just as powerful alternative is microsopy, photography through a microscope.

Fall Color Photography

Kevin Moss — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 14:27:28 +0000

Autumn. A favorite time of year for many nature photographers. For those lucky enough to live in areas where you have 4 seasons, right now, early October is a special time. In the northern latitudes, colors are at peak or just past. In many areas, fall color is just starting to appear, and that means its time for nature photographers to get out their digital cameras, tripods and a circular polarizer and get out and photograph fall color.

Recent Photography Trend #7: Digital Infrared

Kevin Moss — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 13:39:04 +0000

Back in the film days, or BF (before digital cameras) a small breed of photographers would load up their 35mm cameras with infrared film (in the dark I may add!), attach special filters in front of their lenses, and pursue a true art of infrared black and white photography. It was difficult to work with at best. The photographer would have to store the film in cold temperatures, and never knew what type of results they would get from the film, you see, we didn't have immediate feedback like we do know with LCD's on our cameras.

Recent Photography Trend #10: The Return of Black and White

Kevin Moss — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 17:24:00 +0000

Black and white photography never really did go away, there is still a legion of fine art black and white photographers out there practicing their art. What digital photography has given us however is a greatly increased interest in photography as a whole, and with that increase a whole new slew of black and white photographers. What digital gives us what we really didn't have in the film days is an easy workflow... shoot everything in color, and convert to black and white later. This way, you get the best of both worlds. Your digital negative in color with the ability to convert to black and white whenever you get the whim

The Humid Photographic Fog Effect

Kevin Moss — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 14:07:44 +0000

It wasn't on purpose. Out a few mornings ago, the light was just right. I wanted to add some images to my extensive "Amy's Garden" portfolio, the portfolio I've been building for years of Amy's garden. Flowers, plants, wildlife. The garden Amy has dedicated herself to cultivating for 13 years. I've been photographing it for 5 years now with plans on publishing a book of her nature efforts. The sun had risen just an hour before, I had the indirect light, and I grabbed my Nikon DSLR with Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical IF Macro Zoom Lens (click here for the Canon version of the lens) attached
