Yeah I think it was Jim Croce who sang – If I could save time in a bottle, The first thing that I’d like to do, Is to save every day Till Eternity passes away, Just to spend them with you – and so on he goes pulling us into the memories that are our lives. We remember events differently than, let’s say, the camera normally does because it in no way possesses the dynamic range of the human eye and then add to that the intensifier of our mind and fotos come off pretty thin. Well in case you’ve ever wondered what it is I’m up to in my images it is just that. I am pushing photographs – hard – to get them closer to mimicking memory. For example, I don’t remember the lush garden at a villa in Costa Rica as green – - – I remember it as GREEN!!! I think you get it now ~:0) I have some acquaintances that are very interested in what it is I do to create my photographs and that is why I often include the camera setting and whether or not I used Work-Flow software such as Photomatix Pro 0r that I used Photoshop to stitch together and tweak my images and so on. So here goes – Shot all the bits used in me pix with my current squeeze-box the Canon G11. Great Camera – shoots RAW (data-rich image recording method) and at a price most can afford. It shoots somewhere around 10 mega-pixels which captures more than enough visual information to make very detailed pix. I like its wide-angle lens and shoot wide-angle as often as it fits the needs of the image. This particular image manipulation was shot at 6mm which is very wide-angle in case you didn’t know. I seem to recall – when I was looking at the camera settings data in the RAW file that this pix was shot at 1/300th sec., f/3.5, iso 80 and – what else is there? So there you have it – make of the bit-0-tech-info what you will and know that created images are often filled with symbolism as is this one so ponder its meaning and make the most of the time you have to cut down on the regrets on the other end – and get out and make pictures! ~:0) VivaChas!
