July 1st, 2009

Artists . . . I admire the hell out of them. They take a blank canvas, art board or even some other media entirely, and turn it into a masterpiece. They work with the same concepts as photographers do - light, shadow, color and composition, but theirs is a much more laborious effort than simply seeing the light and tripping the shutter. I've got lots of respect for what they do.

This was shot with the Nikon 70-200mm at an 80th of a second at f/5.6. ISO is set to 100.

  1. Interesting perspective -- I feel the same way about photography. With paint, you can push it, pull it, move it around until you've got it just where you want it. Getting all the elements just right in a photo seems infinitely harder to me. Outside of a studio, your conditions are so fleeting. Funny how what you DON'T do always seems a little more magical, eh?
