Podcasts about Zone System

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!

In this episode, Mandy (@mandyleft) chats with Kris Faulkner (@kristian.faulkner) about the zone system. They talk a little bit about the history and how the system works to help improve your black and white exposures. They talk about Fred Archer, Ansel Adams and John Blakemore as photographers known for using the system.   Kris talks about Pinsta cameras and also how 3D printing by companies like Chroma Cameras can help photographers get into large format. Kris also mentioned wanting to visit the Peak District soon, particularly the Monsal Trail for some photography.   Finally they talked about compact cameras. Although the market is smaller for compact cameras than it was a few years ago, there are rebadged cameras available at places like Boots and it is a great option for people just getting into film photography.

HT1644 - Once It Was Difficult Olivia Parker inspired us to explore the incredible complexities of split toning. I attended a week-long workshop to learn Jay Dusard's ferrocyanide bleaching technique. I don't even want to remember the hours I spent trying to master the concepts in Minor White's little yellow Zone System book. And now all of these can be accomplished with a single mouse click.

I've gotten lots of questions about our Zone system that we use to have the kids help clean up our main living spaces. In this week's episode, I'm sharing all of the details of what it is, why we've set things up this way, what everyone is responsible for, how often we reset each zone, and how long it takes. Zone cleaning is a long-term game plan. It takes time, and it will require a bit of extra effort on your part to set things up.  We've divided our downstairs into four zones. Each kid had their own room with a large rug to vacuum. At first, you are going to do every step of the cleaning with your kids. It takes time - even years - for the kids to get the hang of it. We also paid close attention to when someone is feeling overwhelmed by a space and simplify it so they are set up for success. The things they are responsible for match their age.  The wonderful thing about this is that we are now able to reset our entire downstairs fairly quickly as we've continued to increase our kid's skills, decrease the amount of things we have to manage, and foster a team spirit amongst ourselves. Listen to this week's episode to learn more about our Zone Cleaning System and how it's working for our family and home.

In this episode, Wes and Todd sit down with Photographer, Edward Mapplethorpe. Edward discusses his early life growing up in Queens, his father introducing him to photography, his brother Robert and Patti Smith, his introduction to the darkroom and how it solidified his path in photography, his education at SUNY Stony Brook, the importance of being a dreamer, his interest in art in his youth, being a goal setter, going to work for his brother Robert, collaborating with Robert, Robert predicting Edward would be an Artist in his youth, Tom Baril, leaving Robert's studio and moving to Los Angeles, assisting Playboy photographers, the magic of photography, beginnings of a series of work, changing his name, being a reactionary Artist, the catalyst for his series “Undercurrents”, finding his voice, the “Transmographs” series, process, ideas, Analog vs. Digital, his “One” series, commissioned portraits, polaroids and light meters, film stocks, his love of the darkroom, his abstract work, chemograms, “Timezones”, “The Cube”, Screw Magazine and silly putty, and his thoughts on his legacy as Photographer and Artist.Join us for a remarkable conversation with one of the most significant Photographic Artists working today.  Experience Edward's magnificent work at his website www.edwardmapplethorpe.com Hear Edward speak about his various series in his presentation “In Process” for B&H  https://youtu.be/-2P2LOz361w

HT1005 - The Zone System in Retrospect In my generation of photographers, one of the key indicators that you were a serious photographer was whether or not you had mastered and used the Zone System. Looking back on it, I can't help but think that's the Zone System was an incredibly complicated and convoluted way of understanding some fairly simple principles. Sort of the photographic equivalent of a koan.

We live in an ever changing world where information and education is being updated all the time. While we have made a major shift from film to digital photography there are still many “Old School” techniques that are not only relevant to today but incredibly powerful and when mastered will skyrocket you ability to capture compelling images. This week we are talking about two such old school methods, The Zone System, and Zone Focusing. The Zone System The Zone system is an approach to better seeing and understanding light by breaking them down into just 11 shades, or zones. From pitch black to pure white and every tone in between. When used correctly you will achieve better exposure and have a stronger ability to point your viewers eye in the direction you want them to look. Zone Focusing Zone focusing is a technique where using your understanding of depth of field you can bypass your cameras autofocus and still achieve tack sharp images.

#57 Sandy King Louisiana born and bred, lover and teacher of Spanish literature, citizen of the world, fine art printer, abstract landscape photographer…..oh and did I mention he also loved staining developers so much that he developed his own?   I first became aware of Sandy King as, like many others, I began investigating Pyro staining developers. There is much, much more to Sandy than his work developing PyrocatHD and today we scratch away at the surface.     Sandy's links http://www.sandykingphotography.com/     Things we chatted about on the show: As we are chatting I can see Erik Mathy moving his fingers over his keyboard as he sends links to us all via our messenger chat . He seems to be able to pick up on things the guest is saying, do the Google research and send the links over and still keep track of the conversation....clearly he isn't a proper male!   http://meetingbenches.com/2020/03/the-perfect-past-jose-ortiz-echague-aesthetics-and-photographic-techniques-of-pictorialism-gum-bichromate-and-coal/?fbclid=IwAR1k9jt-bQqVNegLAwSzeC2BxdQAffWcToBAG_d14ipnyJk4wrYfOs9WGrE   https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1144285.The_Keepers_of_Light_A_History_Working_Guide_to_Early_Photographic_Processes?fbclid=IwAR0PklWhjdNfcEg1xoVtEHpBJVYUEYVvBlMS2O5FJ1XiJ3hO57LpUp9tlXM   https://groups.io/g/carbon?fbclid=IwAR2deRdt4MKE_ANQBbyE6k2u3Qp4TtCiR2H4E4sIYZbYG8a8FoLEL7QbSB4   https://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/?fbclid=IwAR0x1u-gqvqZ2rDcR5KLD7p7SXVh721RdV8LNy0SzxEaCjniRfdp29PXXd4   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Golden_Age_theatre?fbclid=IwAR2PPay1VXxeem_N5CiYQOw3IJG427SNqdE_fMIVdltX9Nb9AGfq2-f26LY   Sandy mentioned Sam Wang a few times – I hope I have the correct person here – either way it's pretty interesting. https://www.alternativephotography.com/sam-wang-review/   Phil Davis, author of Beyond The Zone System is a book that I have but despite several attempts remains impenetrable to me.

Zack talks about the zone system he is installing at his house. He also discusses a good method for raising your work ethic and performance to the "next level". 

When I think about my motivation for choosing camera settings, I often think of Ansel Adam's "Zone System". In today's (longer) episode we'll get into how I use contrast, sharpness, noise reduction and color controls IN-CAMERA to capture a more realistic-looking image. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/silverlightphoto/support

When the USA National Park Service advertised for a large format photographer to come and work for them there were 4,500 applicants. Jarob Ortiz sent in his resume and, along with 18 others got through to interview stage and landed the dream job.   Things we chatted about on the show:   Before landing the job Jarob was already photographing historic buildings for his personal work – the town of Gary in Indiana for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary,_Indiana#National_Register_of_Historic_Places   We discussed the latest on the Reveni Labs spotmeter on Kickstarter now massively over subscribed but (as I type) still active.  https://www.reveni-labs.com/spotmeter   We discovered that it’s really hard to see much of Jarob’s work for the Park Service in a digital form as they are a tad behind on the scanning front but you can go look at all sorts of interesting things at the Heritage Documentation Program site. The permanent collection of architectural, engineering and landscape documentation at the Library of Congress consists of measured and interpretive drawings, large-format black and white and color photographs, written historical and descriptive data, and original field notes. The collection captures the American experience through approximately 40,000 recorded historic structures and sites, from American Indian cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde to space-age technology at Cape Canaveral. https://www.nps.gov/HDP/coll.htm   Although I was sceptical, there is a really interesting FB page too. https://www.facebook.com/HeritageDocumentationPrograms   We didn’t get to talk lenses which is odd but we did chat a bit about apparently clever digital cameras called Phase one (Simon seemed to know something about them). https://www.phaseone.com/en/   After the show, Jarob mentioned to us that he would have liked to have answered a question that we did not ask, so here's the question and answer; What advice do you have for large format photographers? It's great to draw inspiration from famous photographers and their technique, but it's far more important not to chase them. Everyone has their own approach, all of which is unique to that individual based upon their life experiences and the personality as a result. Like in my case.... People calling me "the next Ansel Adams" - give me a break! I'll never be Ansel Adams. Ansel was a master of the craft; a man that revolutionized the photographic process with his Zone System approach. I'll never be that. All we can do as photographers is workhard and hold ourselves to a higher standard and someday (hopefully) we'll be noticed.   Jarob’s links https://www.instagram.com/jarobortiz/     Other News   None to speak of…..   LFPP links -   https://largeformatphotographypodcast.podbean.com/   ko-fi.com/largeformatphotographypodcast   You can join in the fun at our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/2296599290564807/   And now our Flikr group curated by Colin Devroe https://www.flickr.com/groups/lfpp/   Get Twitter updates for the show from Andrew – https://twitter.com/warboyssnapper   Or from Simon – https://twitter.com/simonfor   Email feedback, ideas and questions for the podcast largeformatphotographypodcast@gmail.com   Podcast Hosts Social Media presence   Simon Forster www.classiclensespodcast.com   www.simonforsterphotographic.co.uk   https://stores.ebay.co.uk/itsfozzyphotography   https://www.flickr.com/photos/125323761@N07/   https://www.facebook.com/SimonForsterPhotographic/   https://www.instagram.com/simonforsterphotographic/   https://twitter.com/SimonFor   Andrew Bartram https://anchor.fm/thelenslesspodcast   https://andrewbartram.wordpress.com   https://www.instagram.com/warboyssnapper   https://www.instagram.com/warboyssnapper_pinholes   https://www.flickr.com/photos/warboyssnapper/   https://twitter.com/warboyssnapper   Erik Mathy A not updated website. https://www.erikmathy.com/about   IG probably best for all things including rabbits. https://www.instagram.com/erikhmathy/?hl=en   Stay Safe

Carl Chiarenza was a member of the second class to graduate from the newly-established bachelor of fine arts program in photography at Rochester Institute of Technology. His classmates included well-known photographers Bruce Davidson, Kenneth Josephson, Pete Turner, and Jerry Uelsmann. In an interview with LensWork magazine editor Brooks Jensen from 2000, Chiarenza discusses the dual influences of Minor White and Ralph Hattersley, two prominent faculty members at RIT during the mid 1950s: Now in the photo thing, as this program is developing, Hattersley was the person—of the teachers we had Hattersley was the person who was directly involved with putting the program together. Minor came into the program when he moved to Rochester and Eastman House, so he came in part-time. Anyway, as the classes got going over the two-year period, we would be bouncing back and forth between Minor and Ralph. So the wonderful thing about this was that we didn't get stuck with a single track. We were not under Minor White, we were not under Ralph Hattersley. We would go to minor and we would learn the Zone System—and how to stare at a picture for an hour and really digest that picture detail by detail, you might say silver halide by silver halide. At the time, we all sorta thought he was really nuts, I mean having us sit there for an hour looking at these pictures, but again, as we’ve all said in retrospect, that was a major part of our education—what a picture is and how you deal with that, particularly in photography, where photographers generally see a subject or an object and say, “Oh, that’s nice, I’m going to make a picture of that,” whether its people or a lamp or whatever it is, and don’t really think about what’s going on behind it, in front of it, to the left of it, to the right of it, and so on. So we really learned to understand that photography, like any other picture, is made up of everything that’s in it. And everything that’s in it is important. On the other hand we went to Ralph and Ralph would say, ‘Well, what’s in the darkroom trash this morning? Is there anything interesting that we can pull out and start with?’ These would be prints that had stains on them that could be developed further. I know this sounds extreme, but it happened! Or he would take us on field trips to New York. We went to New York and we spent a couple days at LIFE magazine meeting people like Eisenstaedt and Margaret Bourke-White and meeting people and going through the whole building, the labs and meeting the layout people and so on. And we would go back to RIT with negatives that he had gotten for us from LIFE magazine and we experimented with them to see if we could do something different from what LIFE did. Or we went to Chicago and we met the people at ID, Callahan and Siskind, and learned about an entirely different way of teaching photography. We walked into—I guess it was the Mees building or Gropius building, I can’t remember—and as we were walking up toward the photo department, up the stairway, and we heard this terrific jazz going on. We make it up a stairway, up a landing, and there’s Chico Hamilton quartet playing, live, in the middle of this space. It wasn’t a concert, it was just in the middle of the building. So it was experiences like that that really opened us up to all kinds of creative worlds. Source: LensWork Interview (2000)

On our first show of the year, we’ve got the second part of our feature on the Zone System (remember that?), we are interviewing Danielle Wrobleski aka @girlwithtoomanycameras, there’s the answering machine and we’ll finally talk about our winter projects! Danielle! You might know her as girlwithtoomanycameras on Instagram. You might also know her about the woman behind the hashtag #womenwithfilmwednesday. She’s shaken things up lately, and we’re going to dig into why this movement within the film community is necessary.  Here are a few of her photos: Zone System 2: Zoner Patrol Two episodes we took a look at the Zone System. We gave a basic overview to the best of our abilities. Since nobody lodged any formal complaints against us, we’re trudging forward! While we talked about how to use the system to get a very average shot, that’s not all you can  do with the Zone system. In this segment, we’ll talk about how to get the photo you want - be it darker or lighter than average - using the same principles we used before.  Here's the shot that Eric talked about: And here's Vania's: Zine Reviews!

HT0623 - The Zone System The Zone System may not be of any use these days when it comes to its theories of exposure and development, but as a tool to think about tones, shadow details, highlight details, and tonal relationships, it still has tremendous value. It is the language of tonal relationships.

In this episode we discuss using Luminosity Masks as tools for ZONE System work

Thirty-five years after his death, Ansel Adams is still one of the most popular (and most searched) photographers. He spent a lifetime creating some of the iconic images in the history of photography primarily using an 8x10 camera and black-and-white film. He developed the Zone System with Fred Archer, wrote numerous books, vigorously corresponded with contemporary artists, and advocated for the environment through the use of photography.But has nostalgia for the avuncular photographer led us to overrate his impact on the art and industry of photography? In this episode of Vision Slightly Blurred, Sarah and Allen go back in history to talk about Adams' many accomplishments, and why they think there's no possibility of overrating his skill and mark on the art form.

In this podcast we will discuss the relevance of the zone system in today's digital photography. Based upon a book by Chris Johnson we will briefly review if it's possible to use a digital camera and a spot meter for landscape photography.

“I believe there is nothing more disturbing than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept’’ - Ansel Adams Welcome to the Outerfocus Podcast!We are back with a bang this week with South African born photojournalist and portrait photographer, Jillian Edelstein. After graduating from The University of Cape Town, Jillian studied photojournalism and has a large, and very impressive, body of work including projects such as Truth and Lies and Instantåneos de Portugal, and multiple worldwide campaigns. Her work has been featured in numerous publications including The New York Times, Vogue and Time and Jillian has also won a plethora of awards. We find out what Jillian’s first introductions to photography were, as well as photos of her own, and others, that have had an impact on her process. We also find out more about her career, growing up in South Africa, and what she has coming up.Throughout our chat with Jillian we refer to the work and life of Ansel Adams. Born in 1902 Ansel Adams was an environmentalist and landscape photographer from the US. Developer of the Zone System along with Fred Archer, we take a look at some of his work, touch on his relationship with the environment and achievements in life.Links:The Ansel Adams GalleryWikipediaJillian Edelstein Links: WebsiteInstagramJillian’s book - Here & There - Pre-order nowHost Links:https://www.outerfocuspodcast.cominfo@outerfocuspodcast.comBradley Hansonhttps://www.bradleyhanson.comhttps://www.facebook.com/bradleyhansonphotographyhttps://www.instagram.com/bradleyhansonphotography/https://twitter.com/bradleyhansonIan Weldonhttp://ianweldon.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Ian-Weldon-Photography-124854627581367/https://www.instagram.com/ianjweldon/BooksSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/outerfocuspodcast)
