Is movement good or bad in an image?

When one started a photo course, the teacher will try to instill in us the art of taking sharp pictures with lots of technical details. After learning all that, I felt recently on 2 occasions that it would be interesting to try the opposite, once after doing classical studio pose of a model and another time at Knebworth house. Suddenly my camera went moving to make the model come to life and the flower exploded in colours and i was quite happy when i saw the images.image

Ice festival

On Sunday I had the chance to got to the Ice sculpture festival in Canary Wharf. The artists were coming from all over the world and were sculpting with ice trying to reproduce a fashion sketch. Really impressive and not only the scary chainsaw!

Crescendo Art

I was at Eva Edery Crescendo Art glass studio. I could see how Eva was working and preparing the glass before putting in the oven and we did some photos showing her workflow. Those are finished clocks. I love her work!

I saw great photography and photographers this week!

First Everything is moving at the Barbican, very impressive especially as  done for most on film!

i went back before leaving for Graciela Iturbide, very strong.

then the Societies Convention ( including all sorts of photography), i need to go back the whole week next year. One can learn so much about photography and business from Speakers and talking to other delegates too.

Great training and i really liked Damian Mcgillicuddy, so easy to listen to  and totally efficient at same time.

Chris Lord showed us very interesting portfolios.

Kevin Wilson did some magic with wedding pictures.Always a bit different from the crowd. i find it poetic.

So i learned a lot and cannot wait to do more training with them.

Shoot with film

I just got a Minolta x700 last week

like a treasure, following me everywhere

instead of taking 200 pictures in a hour, I did 2 in a day

ok the question is what will come out of that?

I tell you when I reach 36
