Behind the Camera: The story behind the picture
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Behind the Camera is a monthly feature where I put the spotlight on one of my own pictures. Around the end of each month, I will choose a single picture from my collection and talk about what went into creating the picture. I will also discuss a little about what I "see" in the photograph. Art touches everyone a bit differently, and the creator of the art is also touched by what is created.
This is your chance to ask about that favorite picture. Feel free to suggest images for Behind the Camera. There is a story behind each and every one of my photographs.
If you miss an installment, there is no need to worry. I duplicate the feature in Photo Trek so these features can always be found in the archives. Another reason I duplicate the feature is to give you the opportunity to share your opinions by way of leaving a comment attached to the entry.

I will admit that this is not my usual photograph, nor is it one of my regular subjects either. However, I have found that stretching your creativity at times can be a great thing. The Life Aquatic is a photograph depicting sea life as it would appear if I was able to dive down to see it. I wish I could sit here and tell you that I donned the scuba gear and used a waterproof housing for my camera to capture this, but I would be lying. This is simply an exhibit at the Sea Life Center in Seward, AK.
I have always been fascinated with the colors that are present with underwater photographs. Something about how the water manipulates the light, causing things to appear almost neon is just so cool. I am not a diver, nor do I have the equipment needed to go on an underwater Trek, so the aquarium stepped in with some great subjects to photograph.
Now, anyone that has been to an aquarium will know right off that pretty much everything is behind glass. This makes it very difficult to photograph without getting a reflection of light, or maybe the ball cap of the kid standing two feet to your right. The lighting is usually pretty horrible as well bringing up the possibility of major camera shake which will affect the sharpness of your focus. All of these things work together to create a less than desirable environment for photography. I have read several tricks for how to photograph in these situations, and I am reluctant to say...not too many of them worked for me.
Ideally, a polarizer would be fitted to the end of the lens...Finish reading here.

Photo Trek is my online journal, or blog as some would say. It is a place that I have created to document my Treks into the field in a relaxed atmosphere. With every Trek that I embark on, I come back and share some of my experiences and an occasional funny story as well. It is a chance to learn about what goes into creating the images that you see here in the gallery. Of course, comments can be left and are always welcome.
Photographer Spotlight
In addition to documenting my Treks, the journal has become a place where I host a Photographer Spotlight. Around the 15th of each month, I pick a photographer who's web site, or journal I have found in my explorations on the internet. I look for somebody that is just getting started in photography, and is starting to share their work. I will feature them in my journal, along with some of my thoughts on their photography. The reason behind this is simple. I can never repay those that have helped me out finding an audience. However, I can do the same for other photographers that are looking for the same help I was. Please be sure and visit these photographers on the web.

Tips and Tricks
This is another Photo Trek special feature where I will discuss technique and some tricks I've learned about photography along the way. Things that I discuss will range from the basics of photography, all the way to some advanced technique. Again, I am repaying those that helped me learn by sharing what they have taught me with others that are looking to learn. Look for my Tips and Tricks feature in the last week of each month. You can find a complete archive of my tutorials here.
If you would like to pose a question, just send me an email and I will consider it for an upcoming article.

The Call of the Waterfall is a place where I keep track of the waterfalls I have visited in my Treks. Each entry is of a different waterfall, with pictures of the falls, and any surrounding points of interest. You will also find directions to these falls along with links to web sites about them. The content will grow as I explore the many waterfalls that surround me.
To view a particular waterfall entry, you will find a directory on the right side margin. Each link is labeled with the particular waterfall. Comments are always welcome, as are stories about your visits to the falls.
