The Art of Bird Photography... Patience This week we had several f8'ers who showed their personal pictures of birds. Charley and Rod showed their images...unfortunately, Rod could not download his images....so here are a sampling of Charley's images. Also there was a discussion centering on just how to capture these images...location, equipment and patience. In addition to the bird images several other f8'ers show different sets of work. Jim showed a whimsical series of street shots....an example of this whimsy is below Despite the whimsy, the group decided I should post his "lines and color" images from that series Bill showed some "small image formats" for his upcoming book "De / Faced"...in contrast to his usual larger images. Several examples below...what you can't see in this post is that each was printed approx 5x3 and was printed on 8.5 x 11 Aquarelle Rag 310...you had to be there Last Image we saw was from Joe in honor of Father's Day...it's an image of Joe in his father's arms We talked about the NY Times continuing to foster images new and old in the paper...kudos to them; we want to see images continued to be featured. Also, remember Google is partnering with the NYT to digitize their archives...below is a picture of the NYT archives today...as you can see they need help A recent example of how they are using their archives is a series they called "Time Lapse"
"When placed side-by-side, these photos — and others, all shot 68 years apart — resemble a trick mirror, changing black-and-white to color, suits to casualwear, film cameras to digital. Only the New York City backdrops — Rockefeller Center, Central Park or St. Patrick’s Cathedral — remain largely static. The black-and-white pictures were shot for The New York Times Magazine by the staff photographer Sam Falk on April 2, 1951. The color ones are by Tony Cenicola, a current Times staff photographer, and were shot on April 2, 2019 (in addition to April 1 and 3). Together, they form an entirely unscientific experiment that asks: What does amateur photography look like today versus 68 years ago?"
