      So, please excuse my opinion. I noticed an unusual sharpness of the animals, especially when depicting the eagles or hawks. I myself once tried to spice up a rather boring image of a desert panorama with a flying bird. The result was similar, very disappointing for me.

      @@SeanGallagherPhotographer One thing that I feel compelled to say is that, according to my naive perspective on things, having a human in the frame can have a profound impact - quite different from an errant budgie. The latter are always welcome, but I think very carefully about including a human. I understand it as a 'device' but, (again, for me) even if it makes for a 'better photo', there are consequences for the image and its message (or range of plausible readings). Makes for an interesting problem to mull over. Cheers from NZ.

    What focal lengths did you use? How did that impact your choice of framing. It seems you used a longer lens (not 35 or 50) correct?

    • @SeanGallagherPhotographer
      @SeanGallagherPhotographer 4 дня назад

      Hi Richard. On this day I was using a 24-105mm Canon lens which is quite a big zoom for me. Normally I like to work with primes, ideally a 35mm, as it eliminates the extra time you need to pick the appropriate focal length . No matter what lens I am using, I try to react instinctually in the moment and frame according to the scene in front of me. So if I am using a zoom, I will pick what I think is the most appropriate focal length for what I see in front of me and then wait for the moment to appear in the frame to make the picture.

    I've long held the view that the golden 'hour' is a fictitious and spurious concept. Granted in some parts of the planet for certain parts of the year such a concept does have certain validity. But where I live in Northern England, around the Winter solstice, the golden 'hour' lasts practically the greater portion of the day as the winter sun never get's higher than about 14 degrees above the horizon. At the Summer solstice, that's the same elevation as half way through the golden 'hour'. If you spend your photography time waiting for ideal golden hour conditions, you will waste an enormous amount of shooting time and some great landscape opportunities. One famous landscape photographer once said 'photograph the light, not the location' and to me that means learning to make compelling images in so-called unfavourable conditions, e.g, dull flat lighting. I seriously doubt (as you point out) you would have been so successful had you spent your working days waiting for ideal light.

    • @SeanGallagherPhotographer
      @SeanGallagherPhotographer 11 дней назад

      Hi Berny. As a young aspiring photographer, I honed my craft photographing the landscapes and people of Lancashire 🙂 Of course, whether you live in northern England, or northern Kenya... the lighting will be vastly different during different times of the year. But no matter where you are, definitely shoot when the sun is low in the sky, if you have the chance. But as I said, it's not the be all and end all of a good photo. If the light isn't there, there are plenty of other 'tricks and techniques' the good photographer should have up their sleeve to still make an interesting picture.

    @luzr6613 13 дней назад

    I can generate reasons for all of these images and attribute moods to them. So, they're not, for me, just irrelevant snaps - which a lot of 'Street' looks like to me. The first two don't particularly resonate, but the other four do - and quite strongly in the instances of three and four which have a certain dignity and poignancy. The sixth i think is very amusing... i just wish you had shown us the next frame where she tips the drink on her head (or is she communicating with the folly in the background by mimicking its form?). These four images all have a geometrical aspect i like - the triangles formed by each of the victim's arms - and the DR and colours of the last three really appeal. I'm also partial to incidental birds - little Easter Eggs in a frame - but i strongly suspect it was the same bird just keeping you under surveillance. Interesting to have you break them down and the 'rewind' format worked for me. Caveat - street and people aren't my thing, but i get the relevance. Best wishes from New Zealand. Cheers.

    Sometimes i go out with preconceptions - i either know precisely the image i'm after or i'm going to enter an environment where only one or two focal lengths are ever going to be appropriate. Most of the time, however, i just go prepared for what the World might present, and while this may make for what some people would think was a heavy carry, it does allow me to respond appropriately to any situation i find myself in (and it helps me stay fit!). So the thinking that informs this practice is that i have no desire to impose my values on the World, preferring instead to have the World impress itself on me and being responsive to that. One outcome is that i don't tend to take 'other people's photos'... but very often i rather wish i had!
