| Interesting Photo of the Day: Thunderstorms and Wildfires Posted: 30 Aug 2013 02:58 PM PDT Last month, a brutal wildfire broke out near the hills of Wenatchee, Washington. Firefighters have had a difficult time containing the wildfire, and further concerns were voiced when weather patterns showed a thunderstorm preparing to roll in. Despite the chance of rainfall, firefighters were more concerned about the high winds and potential for new fires to ignite from lightning strikes. As the storm formed overhead, Cushman Photography captured this image of multiple lighting strikes over the raging wildfire:  Fires spreads across the hills of Wenatchee, WA as a thunderstorm rolls in overhead (Via Imgur, click for larger size) Though somewhat terrifying in its potential destructiveness, this scene is also beautiful. It shows multiple forces of nature and the awesome power it holds. Obviously, there is concern for the people, homes, businesses, and wildlife in the area. But being able to witness (and capture) nature in this state is incredible. Go to full article: Interesting Photo of the Day: Thunderstorms and Wildfires |
| How William Eggleston Introduced Color Photography to the Art World (Video) Posted: 30 Aug 2013 02:26 PM PDT William Eggleston, known for bringing color to the world of art photography, was born in Memphis, Tennessee in 1939 to a well-to-do family. He picked up his first camera when he was 18 years old and began printing his own black and white photographs. At the time, he didn’t know anything about photography. He taught himself. In this BBC documentary, we get a glimpse of Eggleston’s life and work: Eggleston’s peers and family describe him as rebellious and strange. He lives life how he wants to live it. And his approach to photography is the same. Rarely giving his photographs titles or identifying their locations, he calls himself a democratic photographer. He treats all subject matter equally. His unforced, one-take compositions reflect banal, everyday life. After several years of using black and white film, Eggleston shot his first roll of color film in the mid-1960s. During that era, serious photographers shot black and white exclusively. But the way the nonconformist photographer used color caught the attention of many in the photography world. His color was underplayed. He made powerful pictures that created a sense of unease out of nothing. He later brought the old practice of dye transfer processing, traditionally only used in the fashion and commercial industries, to the art world. He appreciated its saturation and unfading color. The technique accentuated his use of color accents.
In 1976, Eggleston’s first major show opened at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The exhibition was the subject of harsh criticism. Reviewers called his work boring. But the photographer felt the critics just didn’t understand his work–his photos were meant to be unspectacular. Though the show was held at MoMA, they didn’t understand that his photography was modern art. Soon after, when his work became known all over the world, the critics apologized.
Now a well-known artist, with reporters and photographers clamoring for his attention, Eggleston continues photographing the seemingly mundane life around him. His life and work are a striking example of the importance of sticking to your own personal style and shooting what you like to shoot.

| Renting vs. Buying Photography Gear (Video) Posted: 30 Aug 2013 01:21 PM PDT Photographers love their gear. And there’s never a shortage of new cameras, lenses, and lighting equipment to drool over. While it’s tempting to buy the latest and greatest, you shouldn’t overlook the benefits of using rental services.

 Depreciation Often Makes Renting Photography Gear a Smart Choice Renting gear has many advantages that let you get your hands on the latest gear without making a monetary commitment.
