1. What do you like about your image? - I like how cleanly I managed to select the shoe from the background. I also like the use of black and white, although the product doesn't actually look like that. 2. What would you have done differently to change the outcome of the image? - I would have loved to use a tripod. I was shooting in pitch-darkness, save for a desk lamp, so there was a limit to how far I could bend while hand-holding the shot. A tripod would have allowed for a lower ISO, too. I would have also liked to experiment with more extreme light angles for even more of a contrasty, low-key image. 3. What photoshop techniques did you use? - I used Select and Mask to feather my selection, camera raw filter to get the contrast right (and also to convert from the RAW file), the B/W adjustment layer, and Bevel & Emboss for the Nike logo. Here's the same picture without the B/W adjustment layer, just in case I get called out for false advertising :) ...

Shorebreak

What did Clark do before photography? A: He was working at a botanical garden. He loved surfing at the shore break, and got interested in photography. What do you like about his work? A: His patience and hard work towards his shots is extraordinary. His pictures seem to capture the moment perfectly, and his subjects are always in interesting positions. What do you not like about his work? A: I feel like it's extremely risky because of the weight of the water and the kinds of positions he gets in are dangerous. Handling relatively high-power electronic equipment like flashes under water can b extremely risky. What brand of camera does he use and how does he take it into the water? A: He uses Nikon cameras. He takes them in the water by putting them in a special waterproof case. Is this a career that you would consider, why/why not? A: I would love to try such an activity, but I don't think I could make it a career. I have a strong passion for ph...

Action Photography

Website:  https://www.michaelclarkphoto.com/OVERVIEW/thumbs 1.  What type of action do they shoot? A: He shoots mostly adventure sports like skydiving, mountain biking, kayaking and rock climbing. 2. What type of equipment do they use? A: His main camera is a Fuji GFX 100 mirrorless camera(100 MP?!?!?). He also uses other Nikon and Fujifilm cameras. He uses a lot of bright telephoto lenses and teleconverters. He also has a LOT of tripods and other accessories. 3.Choose one of their shots and tell me why you like their photography, use content specific vocabulary such as (clarity, angle, depth of field, emphasis, balance, color, value, etc.). A: I like this photo:  It has all the standard stuff: great contrast, emphasis, and tack-sharp focus. Moreover, Clark's pictures seem to have impeccable timing. Most of his pictures are taken at what seems like the climax of the scene, and have me wondering what would happen next.
