Saturday Night

The fact that I can take this picture handheld, in the middle of a Saturday night is something that I will never get over. When I was learning how to be a photographer, a shot like this would have required at least 1600 ISO or a tripod and neither would have been easy to come by when casually walking out of an art show.

Fun with Framing

I’ve been looking at this frame for a long time, there is a table at my favourite coffee shop that looks right down this way. I finally got the light I wanted and luckily, Hanna was working in her normal spot in the space, so I was able to snap the above shot. This is one of the many photos I have been taking lately that really shines at the largest viewable size, and unfortunately doesn’t feel too compelling on an phone screen.

Terminator

From Wikipedia:

A terminator or twilight zone is a moving line that divides the daylit side and the dark night side of a planetary body. The terminator is defined as the locus of points on a planet or moon where the line through the center of its parent star is tangent. An observer on the terminator of such an orbiting body with an atmosphere would experience twilight due to light scattering by particles in the gaseous layer.

Scene on a Friday

Just a simple scene of some people greeting each other at a special spot in town on a Friday afternoon. There is something really lovely about sunny winter days in Reykjavík, when the sun hangs low the entire time and you get the light that cast shadows across the frame.

HVERFANDI by María Rún Þrándardóttir

A lot of times, the absolute best way to experiment with the camera is to go to art shows and photograph other people’s art work. This is both a lot of fun and slightly frustrating because it brings some questions of whether a photograph of someone else’s work is wholly original to the photographer who took the photograph. There’s a grey area. If I take an amazing photograph of a building, is it the architect who deserves credit for the look of the photograph? What about a dance piece? Where does the line get drawn? For me, the artist deserves the credit, at least in the title, in regards to a photograph in a gallery space as they are the reason the photograph exists at all.
