]]> Comment on Photography Tip #96 – Clutter in your scene by Leroy Kolacinski http://time-and-time.com/site/2011/11/02/photography-tip-96-clutter-in-your-scene/comment-page-1/#comment-417 Leroy Kolacinski Fri, 04 Nov 2011 02:18:22 +0000 http://time-and-time.com/site/?p=2022#comment-417 People at both ends of the photography spectrum could benefit from this advice. For those who simply take photos of themselves to put up on Facebook, let us see YOU rather than the messy room you are sitting in. (And for Pete's sake, keep the commode out of the mirror shots of yourself!) On the other end, I had the pleasure to work with a couple who were wedding photographers. Her job (among others) was to make sure that there weren't any stray pieces of debris in the view of the frame for the formals. (String, fallen pedals from bouquets, etc.) Again, a few moments live to get it right in the camera saved a ton of post-processing time.

At the smaller apertures, one still needs photons to hit the sensor. In order to get that much light to the sensor, either the sensor has to be made more sensitive (higher ISO) which tends to lead to noise, especially in older digitals, or slower shutter speeds. Obviously, if the shutter is open for longer, there is more chance of introducing movement into the camera, thus blurry the photo, if only slightly.

I'd like to expand on goal-setting. Goal-setting is a first and necessary step. But too often, we make the goal and then do nothing to achieve it. Set the goal then work toward it! I believe in pushing limits too. My portraits are something I struggle with, but I know they will only improve if I face the fear of looking at a ton of crummy photos to see how to make them better. As far as teaching others, I try to do that because I believe that we teach that which we most need to learn. I have learned so much but know so little in comparison to so many others. However, I know that what I DO know can help someone else and it reinforces it in me. As far as putting myself in the photo, well, there are more interesting things in this world than my mug or my finger in front of the lens. But I can continue working on putting my soul into the photos. One of your photography quotes was Richard Avedon about his portraits being more about him than about the subject. Maybe we should all strive for that. Phil,

I raised the camera to my eye, there was a "spung!" and the lens flew off into a ditch... I was able to reassemble it but it came apart on me a few more times. It was also a bit fiddly to get the universal mount square onto the lens barrel itself. Eventually I part-exchanged it for something rather better and with a far lower 'spung!' factor.

Best used for creative effect, however it generally reduces image quality and should be used sparingly. The effect is called diffraction which is a result of using very small apertures.
