RE: Northern Sunset [ My golden hour experience in the Philippines ]
Wow! Best feedback i got today :-) your right about the "light" as the subject in the case of these photos. In my mind, i was thinking that the objects (tangible) are my subjects, the truth is that the light is the emphasis in these photos. Which means the rest of the objects are just supporting elements to my subject.
Im glad to read your thoughts about it, this adds to my learning / understanding about photography. Thanks buddy!
I personally think we photographers get hung up on light because it is so crucial for us. But the average viewer isn't thinking about it the same way.
I always enjoy these conversations :)
That's also true, I myself normally seek a good light instead of a better subject. But if given a chance I would take the best of both. I care more about the light, that's for sure.
By the way, congrats on the Curie! you truly deserve it. I'm happy to have seen it first. hehe
Thanks, I was shocked this morning when I seen all the upvotes. I didn't know what had happened at first. Went back through steemd to find the trail.
Have you ever watched the cheap camera challenges that digital-rev use to do? They would have professional photographers use a cheap camera while doing a photo shoot. I find it fascinating that they always pulled off great shots with those crappy cameras. It really showed that subject and light mattered more than camera and lenses.
I think it's either Carl / Mark is the one responsible for that, they are both Curie curators.
I knew digitalrev (HK youtubers) since 3 yrs ago, i've watched most of their videos but not so much recently. They are one of my bigest influence. I like their style, fun & informative especially their reviews. Hehe. Great you reminded me of them, i might check on their latest videos and see what they have been up to. Thanks!
Carl had commented on my post but I didn't know about curie until you mentioned it and didn't know who he was. Before I responded I had looked at his blog page but don't remember seeing anything about curie.
Kai left digitalrev and started his own channel. It was partly their torture test on the 7d that swayed me towards buying one.
