O foarte utila analiza la zi de Liviu Goga.

Florian Ispas din Targoviste e un mare pasionat de fotografie. Atat de mare incat confectioneaza si fotografiaza cu stenope. Mai jos este o imagine realizata la o intalnire de fotografie in Bucuresti. Il puteti gasi pe Florian la Blogul fotografilor prin stenopa din Romania si la fispas.blogspot.com.

I never saw a photo enthusiast like Florian Ispas. His passion goes way beyond making conventional pictures: he manufactures and operates pinhole cameras (stenopa, in Romanian). Check Florian’s pinhole camera blog here and his other photoblog here.

OTTAWA, May 27, 2008 (LifeSiteNews. com) – Peter Baklinski is a graduate of California’s Thomas Aquinas College and has recently been accepted into the PhD program at the John Paul II Institute for Marriage and the Family in Melbourne, Australia. He has written an insightful essay detailing the difference in viewing nakedness in art and in pornography. In his paper Baklinski approaches the debate by asking, “Is the difference simply a matter of preference or taste, or is there something more profound that makes one entirely different from the other?”

To begin to answer this highly contested issue, Baklinski reflects on the sexual confusion that exists in society as a result of the fall involving Adam and Eve.

“In our own age, we have an intuition that our nakedness and our sexuality are very good, yet we struggle to reconcile this intuition with the earthly desires and movements of the flesh that are experienced almost as part of the human condition.”

Baklinski also points to the problem that exists in viewing art and pornography in the same light.

“Despite there being a significant difference between the naked body captured by the artist’s paintbrush on canvas and by the artist’s film or digital technologies, the underlying issue is that a body of a human person has been transferred out of its ontological identity as the body of this man or this woman and into an abstract dimension where the body begins to lose its connection to the gift-dimension of the person.”

The PhD candidate then emphasizes the need for artists to represent the “whole truth” of human sexuality and dignity, and addresses the fact that over sexualized ‘art’ lacks this full truth and leads to one viewing persons in photographs as objects.

“Through an excessive focus on sexuality, producers of such works leave an impression upon the viewer that sexual values are perhaps the only real values of a person and that love consists in nothing more than the self-centered experience of these values. In this way, the producer obscures the whole person and introduces a partial truth through his work, so that the viewer is provoked to react to the person being portrayed simply as an object, as a means to one’s own pleasure, and not as a person.”

Baklinski also comments on the responsibility artists have to represent the whole truth of the human body in their artwork and asks if modern technology is actually capable of portraying this truth.

“A particular responsibility arises for artists who use audiovisual technologies that capture so accurately the many dimensions of human experience. Can these technologies capture the whole truth concerning the love that is uniquely expressed between spouses?”

“Fotografia de peisaj este supremul test pentru fotograf si foarte adesea suprema dezamagire” (Ansel Adams)

Extras dintr-un mesaj al maestrului Dinu Lazar, de pe un e-grup de ‘afinitati’ (vezi si Atelierul de Fotografie)

Sigur, peisajul esential se poate face si aplicind cunoscuta regula: diafragma 8 si sa fii acolo.

Ca sa facem o butada, ne putem aminti de replica spargatorului de banci, care intrebat fiind de ce a spart o banca, de catre judecator, spune senin: pentru ca acolo sunt banii!

La fel este si in fotografia de peisaj: trebuie mers acolo unde el este!”

“[...] la ce trebuie sa fiu atent cind fac o fotografie de peisaj, cum fac un peisaj bun?

Ar fi mai multe puncte esentiale de urmarit, la care ma gindesc eu cind fac peisaje:

1 alegerea locului de fotografiat
2 orele alese: dimineata si seara
3 pe care dintre grandangulare le folosesc?
4 cum redau adincimea, perspectiva?
6 pe ce ma sprijin, folosesc monopied, trepied?
7 ce variante de cropuire, de taiere a imaginii, am?
8 nu uit sa fac si fotografii pe inalt si pe lat, cine stie cum le editez…
9 filtre de polarizare, degrade, obiectiv Shift sau tilt, sau cu difuzie
10 folosirea distantei hiperfocale
11 trag raw si numai raw
12 ce poveste pot spune sau poate spune peisajul?”

Un must see/read pentru fotoreporteri…
