I still need to do a lot of homework though :) As to LightZone, I find it pure FUN to use. So many filters to try, to say nothing of the countless number of their combinations. The biggest challenge will be to acquire the skills to choose the appropriate actions (or maybe NO actions!) depending on the specific photo. Hey, ísn't that what a hobby is for!!!

Once you get that done and 'in the bag' then you don't have to think about it and you can stay in the same location and start to play around and shoot things your way. You might get something you like better.... or not, but you will have exercised and practiced. And it might be surprised to see what you come up with!Howard Grillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07734927360682514496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721344177867541891.post-80190702040337959452010-04-15T23:55:01.301+08:002010-04-15T23:55:01.301+08:00I like to take my camera with me but sometimes the...I like to take my camera with me but sometimes the D90 is just to big and it stands out.

The adaptations of other ones views is what we make every day, even if somewhat feared, that of the derivatives, in my opinion, is the way in which image making developed in time. Unless your out to make exactly those pictures you're referring to. In such a case things may get far more complicated in achieving the goal. Anyway thank for pointing this out. That of the derivatives, and the associated "modernist" fear, is an interesting question to think about.Maurohttp://onlandscape.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721344177867541891.post-49939356229915969582010-04-02T05:22:32.126+08:002010-04-02T05:22:32.126+08:00You MUST take the picture!

Your likes, your views and your ideas.<br /><br />I think that having a pre-laid out backup plan for a book design is great (your first idea) as then you can start to experiment when the iamges start to come together. Then if its not working it is easy to revert to backup.<br /><br />Do you have a passion or interest that you want others to share? Because this makes it easier to tell a story but even a book of good images is fine all by its self.<br /><br />Good luck and I look forward to seeing your book.<br /><br />Niels Henriksen<br /><br />My Camera World<br />http://niels-henriksen.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12274220270319377409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721344177867541891.post-58202085834347971792010-03-21T16:49:04.641+08:002010-03-21T16:49:04.641+08:00It's good when you find something that makes y...It's good when you find something that makes you want to keep picking up your camera to improve yourself as a photographer.
