Quotes about Photography

Ni ada kumpulan “Quotes” tentang fotografi dari para pecinta potret, cuma banyak yang ga ketauan dari sapa. Yang penting quotes ini bisa jadi tips dan memotivasi kita dalam berfotografi….

Are U ready? Wokey…read this carefully:

1. The best equipment you have are your eyes, heart, and mind. (A pro Photographer with his/ her less than US$ 200 pocket Camera can beat any Beginners with more than US$ 2000 equipment easily in making quality Photograph.)

2. For Landscape, The best Zoom lens available in this planet up to now is your regular cheap fix wide angle lens (16mm, 18 mm, 20mm, 24mm) and your foot to walk closer or further from your subject.

3. Trying to make good or excellent photograph is not enough. You have to aim to make a monumental photograph with your every shot.

4. Landscaper needs at least 5 legs. Three of them are your tripod’s.

5. Look, feel, close your eyes, create imaginaton, open your eyes….then shoot!!!

6. You are a painter behind the viewfinder. Think like one, see like one, create like one.

7. Don’t see landscape picture too much. Instead look for more landscape painting from legendary painter.

8. Skip any Landscape technic Photography class offered to you. Instead, take a serious class in painting about color, perspective, and composition.

9. Only take your pocket camera when hunting with your fellow from local photo club. Take as much picture as you can in the location. Don’t let their “show off” talk about equipment bother you. Go home. Examine your shot carefully and look for details. Make imagination. Choose an angle. Then Return to the place the next day when the light is right and shot your monumental picture.

10. The ability of the artist to breathe “life” into their art is the essence part of extraordinary artwork.

11. If you plan to edit every picture you took heavily with software. Just sell your camera and buy a good computer system and a pocket digital camera.

12. The more often you bring bad photo to photoshop, the more chance you have to become a really bad Photographer.

13. Get rid all your bad picture, bad poster you see, bad landscape magazine picture you read. The more often you see good composition landscape picture, the better chance you will have to become a good landscape photographer.

14. Patience is the key. Only take your shot at the highest point of your emotional curve. Ansel Adams would wait the whole season or year just to take one frame which closely describe his imagination. If he missed the moment, he would prefer to wait another year rather than taking bad picture.

15. Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer – and often the supreme disappointment. (Ansel Adams)

16. You are only as good as your last photograph. (Moose Peterson)

17. If you still don’t understand…… read this page again and again! (iw_ anakkamera)

Macro with “reverse lens”

img_4908

Lagi pengen ‘learning-learning macro photography’ ni… Tapi lagi-lagi kepentok ma masalah duit buat nyiapin persenjataannya. Yah…tapi fotografi ga’ diliat dari alatnya koq, lebih ke ide, kreativitas, teknik ‘n hasil akhir kalo menurutQ. Jurus jitu buat ngakalin lensa macro yang mahal banget harganya, we call it “reverse lens”.

Mungkin awalnya pada bingung liat fotoQ yang di atas, tu lensa apaan? Koq disambung-sambung? Dibalik lagi masangnya…..

Hello…ya itu lah yang disebut teknik nge-reverse lensa alias ngebalik lensa. Biasanya yang di balik tu lensa fix 50mm, cuma di foto yang di atas tu aQ lagi eksperimen nge-reverse lensa 75-300mm. Hasilnya jadi bisa deket banget tapi malah susah. Selama ini kombinasi paling enak menurutQ ya lensa kit 18-55mm ma lensa fix 50mm. Yang 18-55mm dipasang di kamera, yang 50mm di-reverse. Hasilnya lumayan deket, OK lah pokoknya…ga’ perlu beli lensa macro beneran. Tapi yang rada susah kalo motret serangga atau apalah yang kecil ‘n gerak-gerak, DoF-nya tipis sih….jadi sering blur.

Ya….sekedar sharing aja, ni beberapa jepretanQ yang selamat dari serangan ‘blur’… Read the rest of this entry »

cross screen filter

cross-screen-11

Hehe…..sapa yang ga’ tau filter cross screen? Sebenernya aQ juga belom lama tau ada filter kaya’ gini. Filter yang unik menurutQ….

Filter cross screen tu bentuknya ya kaya’ yang di atas itu. Biasanya dipasang di filter holder, tapi kalo ga’ punya ya tinggal dipegang aja pake tangan. Kalo diliat sekilas, filter ini cuma kaya’ kaca yang digores secara menyilang ‘n teratur. Efek yang muncul unik, tiap sumber cahaya yang ada bakalan terlihat seperti bintang yang berbentuk “cross”.

Tapi menurutQ…kalo pengen dapet foto yang bagus pake filter cross screen, harus bikin konsep dulu. Kalo cuma asal jepret, efek yang timbul mungkin malah bakal bikin ruwet fotonya.

cross-screen-2

Foto di atas cuma buat ngebandingin hasil antara pake filter ama yang ga’ pake filter. Belom pernah bener2 serius bikin konsep foto pake filter cross screen. Lha kudu motret pas malem2 sih….

Drybox murah meriah…

Berawal dari keresahan hati jika sang ‘istri’ diserang penyakit. Weitz…jangan salah, yang ta’ maksud ‘istri’ tu kameraQ. Punya kamera tu ya mestinya dirawat kan, biar ga’ rusak. Kondisi cuaca sperti suhu ama tingkat kelembaban sangat berpengaruh sama ‘kesehatan’ kamera, terutama lensa. Hati-hati kalo musim dingin, udara yang lembab bikin jamur gampang banget tumbuh. Jangan salah…..jamur bisa tumbuh juga lho di lensa!

drybox-mahal1

Biasanya orang pada nyimpen kamera dan segala aksesorisnya di ‘Drybox’, tapi mungkin cuma orang yang berduit aja yang pake drybox. Maklum harganya mahal. Drybox plastik untuk ukuran yang kecil aja 200 ribu, yang gedhe 675 ribu. Belom drybox yang model kaya’ brankas, atau emang brankas ya itu…..mahal banget pasti. Emang sih, feature2-nya keren, ada sensor kelembabannya, lampu indicator, banyak deh…. Tapi buat yang pengen hemat, ni ada tips dari aQ yang mungkin berguna. Bikin drybox dari Tupperware… Read the rest of this entry »
