Photographing Giants. Hunters of Light Kubu Island photography workshop
Photographing Giants. Hunters of Light Kubu Island photography workshop.
Join us for another collaboration between the Hunter’s of Light and Nature’s Light for the Kubu Island Photography Workshop. Photographing Giants.
Landscape photographers seem to have a penchant for hard to reach out of the way places. Yes, we tend to seek beauty in the landscape, but there is also the quest to find the unusual. Places like Dead Vlei in Namibia are not so much beautiful as astounding. They defy our usual imagination of the world. The much-photographed Yosemite Valley is alluring, not only because it is beautiful, but because it is otherworldly. Like the hanging cliffs of Vietnam, it looks more like something out of the imagination of a science fiction novel. Of course, we tend to forget that Science Fiction is very grounded in what we experience and have in our own world, just on a imaginatively grander scale. When that grander scale turns out to be real, well it just floors the landscape photographer.
Stepping over the rocks of Kubu Island feels like you are traveling back in time somehow. No doubt this is inspired by the vast trees, some of which are more than likely well over 1000 years old. There is a sense of time paused on the eastern side of the island that faces the pan. Of course, the sense of timelessness does disappear somewhat on the western side of the island which is where the campsites are situated for visitors.

    What if I take street photos and sometimes people will be photographed as they themselves interested me ? And what if I publish those photographs in a book for my own income ? I had no contract with them; they are in the street , I don't know them .

    • @QuintinMills
      @QuintinMills Рік тому

      It is a tricky one, if you photograph someone for tour own gain, you need a release form. If they are in a crowd of people as an event, then you can create that content, but only use it for a book/website/etc for that event. It is a tricky one, you can get sued if an image is sold without their consent. Trouble is it will cost money to sue and for you to defend.

      Hi John, thanks for the comment. So most camera manutafturers will have an app which will let you "live view" the scene and trigger the flash. So whgen you take the shot, you will see the result and can adjust the lighting until you are happy. You can usually change ISO, shutter speed, aperture etc.
