Podcasts about Ansel Adams

Travis Robinson was an active 35-year-old IT project manager, spending much of his leisure time in the outdoors rockclimbing, when he began noticing weakness in his hands, which is not good news for this pursuit. This led to a diagnosis of early-onset Parkinson's Disease that changed his life. Travis' response was not one of resignation to a restricted lifestyle, but more of a “Screw you, Parkinson's” attitude. That is evidenced in the theme of a podcast called I'm Not Dead Yet he co-hosts with Judy Yaros, whose husband died of the disease in 2020. Together, they talk about life adjustments caused by Parkinson's and how they are helping those afflicted and their families. But more so, it's about living their best life. To help others do the same, Travis is very involved with Parkinson's Community L.A. and the Faces of Parkinson's Project. One way he keeps physically active is with something called neuroboxing. He's also deeply engaged in photography, but using old-time cameras with the long, bellows-like lenses and where the photographer stands under a hood. The image is projected onto large-format film and Travis creates finished works on metal and other unique media that have had gallery showings across the country. His work in California's scenic landscapes evokes Ansel Adams' dramatic photography from last century. Travis has recently had to use his power of resilience once again as his and his partner's home burned down in the Eaton fire in January, and they lost everything, including all of his photographic equipment. They saved their pets and vehicles, and not much more. They expect to begin re-building in May, and undaunted, Travis is planning a photographic project in Iceland this summer.

What if the secret to better museums was … neuroscience? How can museums inspire human creativity? How much media should be in a gallery — or should there be any? How soon should you get feedback on your exhibition ideas? Can museums help us all “escape the algorithm”? What does knitting have to do with visitor satisfaction? In this episode, we'll learn some unexpected tricks of the trade from a renowned museum leader. Lynda Roscoe Hartigan (The Rose-Marie and Eijk van Otterloo Executive Director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum) discusses “Creating Effective Museum Experiences” with host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners | The Exhibition and Experience Design Studio). Along the way: standup comedy, Iris Apfel, and moon chairs.  Talking Points: 1.

In this episode we WadeOutThere with Jarob Ortiz, from Arlington, Virginia.  Jarob started fly fishing in 3rd grade, after being drawn to the delicate cast and presentation portrayed in the popular book and movie, A River Runs Through It.  He learned to cast from his uncle from Montana, and when he signed up for the Air Force out of high school, Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska was at the top of his list.  When he wasn't working in the A-10 Warthog's electronic warfare shop, he was spending all his free time traveling to fishing destinations throughout Alaska.  After separating from the Air Force, Jarob used his G.I. Bill to pay for photography equipment and education, to start his second career.  Jarob spent several years being a commercial photographer and fly fishing on the side, before making a last ditch attempt to keep his passion for photography alive, applying for a dream job, shooting our National Parks in the style and technique of famous photographer Ansel Adams.  Today, Jarob is THE large format photographer for the national park service, tasked to capture the historic architecture and engineering projects throughout our country.  We discuss how becoming engrossed in the systems we commit to, whether they be fly fishing or  photography, create a balance in our lives, and Jarod shares stories and tips from some of his most memorable fly fishing adventures in our National Parks.Learn More:Instagram: @heritagedocumentationnpsVisit WadeOutThere.com/art for 10% off your first original painting or limited edition print from show host and artist Jason Shemchuk Visit TacticalFlyFisher.com and use Promo Code: wade15 at checkout for 15% off you next tactical gear purchase.Newsletter Sign-Up .

Today is Saturday, February 22nd and Happy Birthday to Sparky Anderson. ***02.22.25 - BIRTHDAY – SPARKY ANDERSON*** I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Hudgens Center Hosting Pair of Exhibits Through April Senate confirms Loeffler to run U.S. Small Business Administration Duracell R&D headquarters coming to Atlanta All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Hudgens Center Hosting Pair of Exhibits Through April The Hudgens Center for Art and Learning in Duluth is hosting two exhibitions through April. The 10th annual “Stand in Ansel Adams’ Footsteps” juried competition, featuring 133 black-and-white nature photos, runs until April 26, celebrating the iconic landscape photographer. “Pause, Reflect, Prepare,” showcasing figurative sculptures by Decatur artist Jess Self, continues through April 19. Self’s work incorporates materials like wax, wool, and wood, reflecting her expertise in sculpture. Both exhibits highlight the center’s mission to connect art lovers and learners. Visit the Hudgens Center on Sugarloaf Parkway for more details. STORY 2: Senate confirms Loeffler to run U.S. Small Business Administration Former Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., has been confirmed as director of the federal Small Business Administration in a 52-46 Senate vote. Loeffler, previously appointed to the Senate in 2020 by Gov. Brian Kemp, lost her seat to Democrat Raphael Warnock in 2021. A former CEO and co-owner of the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream, she is married to Jeff Sprecher, CEO of Intercontinental Exchange. A Trump loyalist, Loeffler supported efforts to challenge Georgia’s 2020 election results. She also founded Greater Georgia to boost GOP voter registration. Loeffler joins other Georgians in key federal roles under Trump’s second term. STORY 3: Duracell R&D headquarters coming to Atlanta Duracell will establish its Global Research and Development Headquarters in Atlanta, investing $56 million and creating 110 jobs. The facility will be located near Georgia Tech’s Midtown campus at Science Square, a hub for innovation. Duracell, which already operates facilities in LaGrange and Fairburn, aims to strengthen its position as a global leader in battery technology. Gov.

We’ll be right back Break 2: RINGLING BROS_FINAL STORY 4: UPDATE: Argument Leads To Deadly Shooting At Lawrenceville Area McDonald's A workplace dispute turned deadly Wednesday in the parking lot of a Lawrenceville McDonald’s, leaving 43-year-old Donald Stewart dead and his boss, 40-year-old Michael Todd, in custody. Gwinnett police reported the incident occurred on Sugarloaf Parkway just before noon. Stewart was shot in the back and later died at a hospital. Todd remained at the scene and was arrested, facing charges including malice murder, felony murder, and aggravated assault. The argument between the co-workers escalated into the fatal shooting. STORY 5: House panel approves easing burden of proof of intellectual disability in capital cases A Georgia House committee advanced House Bill 123, which aims to ease the process for death penalty defendants to claim intellectual disability as a defense. The bill would lower the burden of proof from “beyond a reasonable doubt” to “preponderance of the evidence” and separate the determination of intellectual disability from the trial’s guilt phase. Advocates argue this reduces the risk of executing individuals with intellectual disabilities, aligning Georgia with other states. Critics, including a district attorney, warn it could complicate seeking the death penalty. The bill now moves to the House Rules Committee for a floor vote. Break 3: GCPS STORY 6: Officials Release Sketch To Help Identify Missing Remains Found In Gwinnett County Lawrenceville Police released a sketch to identify human remains found near Georgia Highway 316 and Duluth Highway on Feb. 10. Construction workers discovered a human skull near Northside Gwinnett Hospital, but no other remains were located. Forensic experts determined the skull belonged to a Caucasian man aged 35 to 70. A sketch by a Georgia Bureau of Investigation artist depicts what the man may have looked like. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact the Lawrenceville Police Department or Gwinnett County Medical Examiner’s Office. STORY 7: State Senate passes farmland preservation constitutional change The Georgia Senate approved a constitutional amendment to double the farmland eligible for conservation tax breaks from 2,000 to 4,000 acres, passing 51-1. The measure, part of efforts to preserve farmland amid significant losses over 50 years, will go to voters in a 2026 referendum. If approved, it would take effect in 2027. The Senate also passed an accompanying bill to set the referendum date. Supporters, like Sen. Sam Watson, highlighted the need to adapt the Conservation Use Valuation Assessment (CUVA) program to modern farming trends with larger family farms. The legislation now heads to the Georgia House.

How do black and white and color influence the way we perceive images? In this episode, Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin examine the role of black-and-white and color in film, photography, and visual storytelling. The conversation moves through history, from silent films to modern cinema, touching on the technological and artistic decisions that shape how we experience visuals.The Psychology of Color in FilmCiappelli shares insights from the Academy Museum's Color Emotion: Chromatic Exploration of Cinema exhibit, which explores how filmmakers use color to create mood and evoke emotion. The discussion highlights the transition from black-and-white films to color and how directors leverage lighting, camera technology, and costume choices to enhance storytelling. The Wizard of Oz, a defining moment in cinematic history, is discussed as a key example—the shift from black-and-white Kansas to the Technicolor world of Oz wasn't just a technical innovation but an intentional artistic decision.Black-and-White as an Artistic ChoiceMartin, who also has a background in photography, reflects on how black-and-white imagery forces viewers to focus on different elements—contrast, shadows, and composition—rather than being distracted by color. He notes that black-and-white isn't just about nostalgia; it's often used to create a sense of timelessness or emphasize emotional depth. The conversation extends to legendary photographer Ansel Adams, whose landscapes showcase how black-and-white photography can transform light and texture into a powerful visual experience.Photography and the Role of Digital ManipulationThe episode also touches on how digital photography has changed the creative process. The ability to capture dozens of images in seconds and manipulate them in post-production raises questions about authenticity. Is there more artistic value in an image that is captured perfectly in the moment, or is post-processing just another tool in the creative toolbox?This thought-provoking conversation connects film, photography, and personal experience, inviting listeners to reconsider how they engage with visual storytelling.Tune in to hear more about the relationship between black, white, and color in the way we see the world.

L'alpinismo estremo, così estremo, doveva essere raccontato.Con appunti e disegni prima. Fotografie poi. Infine il cinema che riuscì a conquistare il grande pubblico. Vittorio Sella e Ansel Adams con le loro fotografie avevano rivoluzionato la percezione delle montagne e dei loro ecosistemi. Chi invece cominciò a utilizzare le videocamere per documentare le catene montuose fomentò  quella “voglia di ignoto” indotta al grande pubblico dai primi scatti. Ai tempi di Mario Fantin l'Himalaya e il Karakorum erano terre “lunari”, il K2 era stato tentato solamente cinque volte e l'avvicinamento era già di per sé un lungo, lunghissimo viaggio. Più di duecento chilometri per raggiungere il campo base, posizionato su una lingua di ghiaccio che si spinge fino alle pendici della montagna.E poi quel gigante. Quella sfida alla “Grande Montagna” che, nonostante l'organizzazione di Ardito Desio, sembrava inarrivabile.Scritto e registrato da Sebastiao Frollo e Saverio MarianiIl libro di Saverio Mariani - "La spedizione italiana al K2.

We remember former President Jimmy Carter through a slightly different lens-- through the eyes of a longtime friend and through the portraits of Carter that are housed here at the National Portrait Gallery.Political aide Jack Watson met Carter 10 years before he became president. He found a farmer in work clothes driving a Chevy and quoting philosophy. Over their long friendship and while serving as chief of staff, Jack came to appreciate Carter as a man who was willing to take "bitter medicine" to do what he felt was right for the country. Jack describes a huge Polaroid portrait of Carter by the landscape photographer Ansel Adams, and he also explains why a softly lit painting depicting Carter in the Oval Office is not one of his favorites.See the portraits we discussed:Jimmy Carter, by Ansel AdamsJimmy and Rosalynn Carter, by Ansel AdamsJimmy Carter, by Robert TempletonOther portraits in the collection:Jimmy Carter, by Richard AvedonJimmy Carter, by Alan Reingold (Time magazine)Jimmy Carter, by Andy Warhol

On the day of President Jimmy Carter's funeral, Allen Ruff is joined by Stephen Zunes to take on the challenge of critically assessing the legacy of a former president. The post Jimmy Carter's Legacy with Stephen Zunes appeared first on WORT-FM 89.9.

HT2129 - All the Gray Hair Is Worrisome In the 1970s and '80s, there was a huge uptick of people engaging fine art photography. I suspect this was the result of luminaries like Ansel Adams bringing photography to the masses, but also a result of the increased quality of image reproduction in books. I never attended an Ansel Adam's workshop, but I've seen lots of pictures of those enthusiastic youngsters at Adams workshops.

In this special extended episode UNP founder and curator Grant Scott engages in a vigorous conversation with California based curator, gallerist Peter Fetterman about the importance of passion, risk taking and empathy in photography. Peter Fetterman Born in London, Peter Fetterman has been deeply involved in the medium of photography for over thirty years. Initially a filmmaker, producer and collector, he set up his first gallery over twenty years ago. Fetterman was one of the pioneer tenants of Bergamot Station, the Santa Monica Center of the Arts when it first opened in 1994. Today, his gallery has one of the largest inventories of classic 20th Century photography in the United States particularly in humanist photography including work by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Sebastião Salgado, Steve McCurry, Ansel Adams, Paul Caponigro, Willy Ronis, André Kertesz, Manuel Alvarez Bravo and Lillian Bassman. His book The Power of Photography was published in 2022. www.peterfetterman.com Dr.Grant Scott After fifteen years art directing photography books and magazines such as Elle and Tatler, Scott began to work as a photographer for a number of advertising and editorial clients in 2000.

Abonnez-vous à ma Newsletter-> Newsletter les Voix de la Photo-> Il s'agit d'une rediffusion d'un épisode posté le 6 juin 2023.PGI in Tokyo is the second-oldest photography gallery in Japan and in this episode, the actual director of this gallery, Sayaka Takahashi explains to us the evolution of her work as a gallerist for 20 years. When she started her main thought was to attract more people to come to the gallery and now she participates in photo art airs such as AIPAD in NY, portfolio reviews and organized talks. One of her new goals is to sell the work of the artists represented by the gallery to the right institutions. I hope you will like this second episode in English! 1'30- Her studies at Waseda University in Literature with her professor and photography critic Osamu Hiraki, her work experience at the Higashikawa International Photography Festival in Hokkaido and her encounter with Hiroaki Yoshino, the director of PGI Shibaura.3'30- PGI is a gallery specializing in photography with a labo for preservation and framing. She started to work for PGI as a part-timer in 1998 and became the director in 2010. When he was 18 years old, she heard about the “Onnanoko Shashin” movement (Onnanoko means female and shashin photography) and she was inspired by these female photographers.8' – PGI opened in 1979 as a place to look at the physical print. The first commercial photo gallery in Japan is Zeit-Foto Salon which was owned by Etsuro Ishihara and PGI was the second one. The owner of the PGI studied medicine in California and met the photographer Ansel Adams here and he decided to open a gallery when he was back in Tokyo.10'- When she started as a gallerist her main thought was how to get more people to visit the gallery. They did 10 exhibitions per year, and now 6/8. They started to hold gallery talks, participate in portfolio and events to meet emerging artists, and participated in photo fairs (Tokyo Photo and AIPAD from 2013).

HT2097 - A Quantitative Audience, or a Qualitative One This is a bit of a false question because it is possible to have both, as Ansel Adams has proved. But for most of us, and for most of our work, it seems that we can have a quantitative audience via digital means or a qualitative one in the gallery.

Despite a raging head cold, Aimee barrels through to give you want you want: a discussion with Emily Bierman that covers the stellar results of the sale of Ansel Adams, A Legacy: Photographs from the Meredith Collection. This auction smashed records and exceeded expectations overall. We discuss white-glove auctions, the Ansel Adams market, estimates, auction development, research, and I ask Emily to define some of the quirky words we use in the department while cataloguing. Tune in for some major inside-ball information on how we do what we do!

During the Pandemic, commercial and fine art photographer Beth Galton created an art piece that eventually turned into an art book she titled, Covid Diary. Now she has started a Kickstarter to help her fully realize the scope of this passion project.  On this episode, we're talking about the Covid Diary, which is on its final fundraising stretch. We discuss the origin of the project, its evolution, and how this experience has helped Beth grow. Click here to learn more about the kickstarter! About Beth: A born and bred New Yorker, Beth is continually inspired by the sights, sounds, and tastes of the city she calls home. The path to a prolific career as an award-winning New York City photographer began in a childhood animated with Marvel Comics, choral music, a natural science education, flute lessons, and the chaotic and composed meals she had at home and abroad. Photography became her method to synthesize life. Drawn to the organic classicism of Edward Weston, Ansel Adams and Edward Steichen, Beth's work is informed by her sensitivity to how light falls and shapes the subject. Her work is exceptional in its ability to invest her images with emotion. Whether making a photo look so compelling you want to pick it up off the page, or conceptually exploring an idea, she applies her deep knowledge and love of craft to each photograph she creates. Beth's personal warmth and generosity infuse her working and shooting environment. She enjoys creative and collaborative relationships with stylists and Art Directors many of whom she works with again and again. Her images and short films tell stories – the story of memories, of what and how we eat together, a love of nature, and the pleasure of shared experiences. Visit Beth's website.

This month on Conversations from the Pointed Firs host Peter Neill sits down with Peter Ralston. Peter is a marine photographer, photographing the coast of Maine since 1978, drawn especially to the working communities that define the coast's enduring character. Instrumental in forming the Island Institute in 1983, Peter Ralston served as its executive vice-president until 2010, and contributed most of the photography and served as art director for the Institute's Island Journal since its inception. Peter's work has been reproduced in many books and magazines, exhibited in galleries, collections and museums throughout the United States and abroad. He is currently working on a major book about the Maine coast. Although, as a young man, Ralston studied very briefly under Ansel Adams, he acknowledges the greater artistic influence of a lifetime of association with the Wyeth family: close friends and life-changing mentors. He continues to spend as much time as he possibly can on and around islands.

Join us in discussion with Artist/Photographer Reidar Schopp, about two very special Photography Series, Shibari (Japanese Rope Bondage) his Boxed Series and the LB Shibari Dojo. Reidar takes inspiration from photographer William Mortensen, 1897-1965, who Ansel Adams called the Antichrist.On Mortensen, Reidar wrote; “His imagery was the first to stop me in my tracks. I loved the dark undertones, the stories he was telling ..." Reidar's current series necessitated his learning of Japanese Rope Bondage including suspensions. These series entitled “Renaissance Shibari” and “Vases” are his latest avenue of exploration into surrealism. Find  below, a listing of Reidar's recent photography series:1. Boxed, The Life We Build for Ourselves - nearly complete with about 350 images2. Life's Entanglements - Shibari series. Includes the subseries of the Renaissance Still Lifes and the Human Vase - created about 25 images so far3. Starting the series of "franz xaver messerschmidt character heads" this will be about 90 images4. Organized Chaos - forming random lights into mandulas and kaleidoscopic images - About 30 images5. Musical Instruments - applying pieces of instruments to a human body to become that instrument and have another play them - Only 2 have been created. I need musical instruments to continue creating this series.6. 180 Degrees of Portraiture - Infrared portraits where a 1st time model is asked to bring an object that is very emotional to them, either good or bad emotions.https://www.instagram.com/rlsfoto/www.lbshibaridojo.com

加入摄影早自习群，请加微信：nihaoyelaoshi （暗号：喜马拉雅）早安，我是叶梓，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第2358天。我有位学员一直拍的挺好的，最近他突然说了一句感叹了一句，他说：迷茫了，来来回回就是拍这些内容，没什么突破，懒得拍了。我是怎么回他的呢？我说：懒得拍了就先放放，没关系，要给自己留一点空白的时间。有的同学可能觉得我只是在安慰他，出于关心，觉得不用这么紧绷，但实际上这也是让你的摄影进步的方法。Photo by John Hernandez on Unsplash这位同学所遇到的情况就是典型的一个摄影的瓶颈期。瓶颈期分很多种，有来自于审美的，有来自于技术的，有来自于题材的。来自于审美的呢，就是我不知道怎么去改进我的拍摄了；来自于技术的，就是我觉得我技术已经很完美了，我都能做到了，但是还能干些什么呢？不知道该怎么进步了；还有第三种是来自于题材的，我拍花草草拍腻了，我拍鸟、拍人拍腻了，你就会体验到一种阻力、一种泄气感，甚至就会缺乏动力，懒得拍了。好，那么我们怎么去突破这种瓶颈期呢？其实讲白了，首先一定要心态放松。谁也没说在摄影学习的过程中你会一直在进步，有的时候我们是螺旋式上升，也就是说有的时候在进步，有的时候就会原地踏步，甚至是好像在退步。这种过程是必然的，学任何东西做任何事情它都不是一帆风顺的，一定要给自己一些弹性的空间，允许自己前进，也要允许自己原地踏步或者稍许后退。© 叶梓另外，我们是一定要不忘初心，你为什么喜欢摄影呢？你喜欢的难道是摄影吗？反正我不是，我喜欢的是生活。布鲁斯.吉尔登（Bruce Gilden）说：我爱我所拍的人。你看，大家都没有在喜欢摄影，我们是用摄影作为工具来记录自己的生活，来表达自己的情感，只要你对生活还是热爱的，我相信你就有拍不完的题材，对吧？如果你（觉得）：哎呀，我都不想拍了，那是不是你已经本末倒置了？你在为拍照而拍照。你为什么拍照？难道是为了去炫耀自己的摄影技巧？去为了去满足老师对你的夸奖？我觉得都不是，是为了自己拍的。这就好像是没有人在坚持讲话一样，对吧？讲话为什么要坚持啊，因为我每天我要用啊，我要去表达自己啊，我要跟人沟通啊，这都是要讲话的呀。摄影也是你的语言呀，你用照片来表达你自己，这难道不是最顺其自然的事情吗？所以要从这个心态出发的话，它就不存在什么瓶颈期或者说是拍不动的感觉。当然了，针对刚才所说的审美瓶颈、技术瓶颈和题材瓶颈，我也可以给你三个特别重要的建议。© 叶梓第一，就是审美瓶颈。如果你觉得你在审美上已经不能前进了，那你真的应该把拍摄这件事放一放了，别拍了，停下来，去读读书。如果你说：老师，我读不进书，那你就去看看电影。有很多很优秀的关于摄影师艺术家的一些电影纪录片，都值得你们好好的去看一看。你们想要这个电影的推荐清单吗？想要的话在底部留言，你就说“想要”，或者你说说你对今天我们这个话题的看法，如果大家反馈热烈，回头我就整理一个清单放在底部留言区置顶给大家，你可以收藏，好吧？当然，你还可以去听音乐会，你可以去旅行。你如果说：老师，我拍不动了。那旅行就别拍了，咱就别带手机，别带相机啦（不是，手机还是得带，但是你可以不拍照了）。你就舒舒服服的去感受当地的空气，听虫鸣鸟叫，用肉眼看星星。不要想拍照的事，不拍了，我就是要休息了。你看，这一些东西是什么呀？都是生活。当你觉得摄影已经打扰你的生活了，那你就该把摄影放一放，然后回到生活中去。美国的风光摄影大师安塞尔.亚当斯（Ansel Adams）说的好啊，他说：我们不只是用相机拍照，我们带到摄影中去的是我们所有读过的书，看过的电影，听过的音乐，以及我们所爱的人。生活才是一切艺术的根本。© 叶梓有人如果是经历了技术方面的瓶颈，觉得自己的技术已经学到头了，一百分了，不知道怎么进步了，那我给你个建议，你不妨把所有的技术反过来用。人家老师说了要黄金分割线，那你试着拍一个月不带任何黄金分割线的照片；人家说了要用三角形构图，那你就试着拍一个月不带三角形构图的照片；人家说了要简洁构图，你试着拍一个月不简洁的照片。这一方面是因为摄影的技巧是可以反过来用的，它技巧不分好坏不分对错，它只是用来表达的一种工具。但另一方面呢，这也像是一个青春期的孩子，你总得经历一下叛逆期，你不经历的话，你的性格没法成熟啊，你没有办法成为一个大人啊。你这么一想，你所有的摄影技巧是不是刚学了一半呢，刚学了白的一面，黑的一面还没开始学呢。最后是关于题材的瓶颈。如果你所谓的拍摄题材只是花花草草、飞禽走兽、拍人、拍景，这个题材它总有一天会拍腻的，它是比较少的，或者说是比较固化的、比较单调的。那应该怎么办呢？两个办法：© 叶梓第一，你不要用题材去划分自己的喜好，或者划分自己的摄影的领域。你以前特别不敢拍人像的，你要不要试试拍人像呢，对吧？你瞧不起拍静物的，那你要不试试拍静物，你看你能不能拍的比别人好。可以要求自己去走出这个舒适圈，去做尝试。© 叶梓另外呢，你也可以把题材这件事给弱化，就是我为了表达自己，我一定要拍人吗？我一定要拍景吗？我一定要拍静物吗？我可不可以在一组照片里边既有人又有静物还有风景？在它们组合在一起的时候用来表达了我今天晚上的心情呢，对不对？你看，这就又绕回来了啊，我们为什么要拍照啊？你只是为了给别人看受到表扬吗？不，最重要的是用来记录自己的生活，记住自己对生活的感受，记录自己的心情，表达自己的世界观。从这个角度出发，你将有无穷无尽的拍摄题材，因为生活总会给你新的体验，新的感悟，新的想要表达的内容。© 叶梓好吧，今天我们就深谈了一下关于摄影的学习瓶颈的几种可能以及我的一些建议，希望大家能有所收获。记得啊，想要我的电影清单推荐的，可以在评论区留言，或者跟我们一起来探讨你在摄影瓶颈上的一些经历和突破的过程，或者你有什么好的关于艺术家的电影可以推荐给我们的，也欢迎你留言在底部，我们一起来完成一个大大的长长的关于艺术的电影清单。© 叶梓好了，今天我们就先聊这么多，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第两2358天，我是叶梓，每天早上6:30，微信公众号“摄影早自习”以及喜马拉雅的“摄影早自习”栏目，不见不散。

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 99 - ALFONSO CUARÓN - WRITER / DIRECTOR Writer and director Alfonso Cuarón (ROMA, CHILDREN OF MEN, Y TU MAMÁ TAMBIÉN) joins us on this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast to talk about his career and about filmmaking. Growing up in Mexico, Alfonso sought solace in the cinema, and he crewed and assisted on documentaries around the country throughout his youth, setting the foundation for his visual sensibilities by studying the photography of Ansel Adams and observing a DP manipulate natural light to shoot vegetables. After directing his first feature, Alfonso was brought to Hollywood by director Sydney Pollack to work on an episode of the anthology series FALLEN ANGELS, and Alfonso recalls for us his encouraging conversation with actor Alan Rickman that helped him overcome the petrifying pressure of shooting within the Hollywood machine. Alfonso later shares how director Guillermo del Toro convinced him to helm the third HARRY POTTER film, and he reveals which elements of the franchise he pushed to evolve and change. Alfonso also reflects on his relationship with visual effects, and we discuss why prep and bringing one's collaborators into one's process brings out the best in any film. Towards the end, Alfonso reflects on his experiences working on his upcoming limited series and shares his fear that television, not cinema, is the one conquering the other; however, despite this fear, we discuss the past, present, and potential future of filmmaking through an optimistic lens.  - This episode is sponsored by Aputure

In this episode of the podcast, we explore the Zone System for perfect exposure and Zone Focusing to get perfect focus. I'll explain how understanding and using this system enhances your ability to capture scenes exactly as you envision them. By the end, you'll see how these classic techniques can simplify your photography, even in today's digital world. The Big Ideas:Commit to the Basics: Embracing photography fundamentals like the zone system can dramatically improve your photos' quality. Mastery of basics sets a strong foundation.Prioritize Your Subject: By focusing on properly exposing the main subject, you naturally draw viewers' attention to the heart of your photograph. Balance the shot around this principal element.Depth of Field Mastery: Understanding and implementing zone focusing can help you achieve tack-sharp images without relying solely on modern autofocus, especially in dynamic settings.Blend Old with New: Integrating traditional techniques with modern technology can offer a richer photography experience, merging tried-and-true methods with instant digital feedback.Photography Action Plan:Learn the Zone System: Research online tutorials or read Ansel Adams' books to deeply understand the ten zones and their applications. Practice by choosing a high-contrast scene, note light meter readings for different zones, and adjust your camera's exposure settings accordingly.Apply Spot Metering: Switch your camera to spot metering mode and focus on critical elements like skin tones or key details. Experiment with taking readings from different parts of a scene to understand light distribution.Practice Zone Focusing: Use a depth of field calculator to set manual focus distances for typical shooting scenarios. Practice focusing on stationary objects in your backyard to get comfortable with various depth of field settings before applying them in a live shoot.Capture Movement: Set up shots in a dynamic environment (like a busy street or dance floor) and manually preset your focus distance to capture sharp images amidst motion. Review your photos to determine the optimal depth of field for similar future situations.Evaluate and Share: Review your images critically, comparing shots with different exposure and focusing techniques to assess improvements. Download your free copy of 46 Creative Photo Ideas to Get You Out of a Rutat https://creativeimageideas.com/Connect with the Beginner Photography Podcast!

This month on Conversations from the Pointed Firs host Peter Neill sits down with Peter Ralston, who has been photographing the coast of Maine since 1978, drawn especially to the working communities that define the coast's enduring character. Instrumental in forming the Island Institute in 1983, Peter Ralston served as its executive vice-president until 2010, and contributed most of the photography and served as art director for the Institute's Island Journal since its inception. Peter's work has been reproduced in many books and magazines, exhibited in galleries, collections and museums throughout the United States and abroad. He is currently working on a major book about the Maine coast. Although, as a young man, Ralston studied very briefly under Ansel Adams, he acknowledges the greater artistic influence of a lifetime of association with the Wyeth family: close friends and life-changing mentors. He continues to spend as much time as he possibly can on and around islands.

In this enriching episode of "F-Stop Collaborate and Listen," we delve into the remarkable legacy of Ansel Adams through the eyes of his former assistant and esteemed photographer, Alan Ross. Ross shares captivating anecdotes and insights from his time with Adams, reflecting on Ansel's people skills, his comfort with technology, and his humble approach to photography that embraced imperfections and learning from mistakes. Ross discusses his own varied career, from textbook photography to continuing Adams' tradition of special edition prints, and his personal philosophy of seeing photography as an expressive language that goes beyond mere documentation. Listeners are treated to a deep dive into photographic artistry, learning to appreciate the emotional conveyance in images, the importance of self-discovery, and the impactful advice to slow down and engage meaningfully with one's subject. Guest recommendations and a nod to the broader community of photographers round out an episode that's as much a tribute to an icon as it is a masterclass in the craft of photography.

HT1827 - Beyond the Headline Heroes, Part 2 For some reason, I always seem to prefer the lesser known photographers rather than the headline heroes. I prefer the landscapes of Wynn Bullock over Ansel Adams, the portraits of Paul Strand over those of Annie Leibovitz, the daily life photographs of Josef Sudek over those of Dorothea Lange, and the reportage of Josef Koudelka over that of Henri Cartier-Bresson.

HT1783 - The Goal of Exposure Like so many of you, my fundamental philosophy about exposure and development was derived from those wonderful Ansel Adams books on the technologies of the wet dark room. His key idea was that the purpose of exposure and development was to create the best negatives for printing. That's still is the foundation of digital exposure, but the approach is completely different.

HT1757 - Seek What They Sought Some 2,600 years ago, the Chinese sage Lao Tzu advised us, "Do not seek the wise men of old. Seek what they sought." I can't help but think that he was speaking directly to us photographers here in the 21st century. Instead of chasing the Yosemite of Ansel Adams, the Point Lobos of Edward Weston, or the New York of André Kertéz, perhaps we should look beyond their work to the deeper beauty, honesty, and introspection they were trying so diligently to capture in their photographs.

Vintage crosscuts that were made between 1880 and 1930 are often the tool of choice for trail workers who maintain the country's roughly 112 million acres of protected land. That's ahead of chain saws and newly made crosscuts. And the reason this old tool has stuck around so long -- even in an age when there's a newer, better gadget coming out every year -- it goes way beyond the physical saw itself. The rise, fall, and unexpected second life of the crosscut saw is also the story of how America created the very concept of wilderness.The Wilderness Tool
