Bill Eppridge explains to Rankin how he was so close to it happening and how he'd developed a closeness with RFK that the image still haunts him to the point where he refuses to hang the picture anywhere to this day.

The answer is always film, as big as you're capable of shooting. So, lots of film + MF camera

So I got into an argument with a photographer friend the other day.

Her argument: "You keep buying all these cameras - you'll never become a better photographer if you don't stick with one camera and learn it inside and out."

My argument: "I love the mechanics and beauty of the machine just as much as I love the image it produces - I want to use and learn about every camera I can; every one I've bought has its own personality and niche, and I feel like I've learned a lot from it."

What are your opinions, dorks? I know this is like asking an AA group what their opinion of buying alcohol is, but I was curious

Sticking with a single camera makes about as much sense as sticking with a single lens. You're excluding yourself from a whole bunch of creative options.

That said, a camera is just a dark box with a hole in it. If you could use any lens with any film/sensor easily, there'd be no reason to use one camera over another.

I dont think its necessary, but I find that the first week or two of acutations on an unfamiliar camera are generally less aesthetically pleasing to me. It is probably due to putting some of my attention onto the controls, but it's also a part of photography for me, but ymmv as I have gear lust.

I think there's a distinction between camera hobbyist and photographer. The two aren't mutually exclusive - there are plenty of photographers who geek out about cameras but still produce amazing work. However I feel there is a huge subset of camera hobbyists that are essentially just that but claim to be photographers when they're more focused on getting pin sharp gear and getting the best "value" - they're obviously into their cameras more than what the camera produces.

It sounds like you're more of a camera hobbyist when it comes to cameras, but you don't take that to mean you're better at photography because of it. You're appreciating the mechanics and design of the camera rather than using it as a penis substitution. It won't strictly make you a better photographer except for learning things like how to meter on an old film body and rely on non-automatic modes and shoot only a select number of exposures.

The image links are broken, so all it is is text now :\

quote:

Well, since you asked... (I want to apologize in advance for the length of this post, but once I got started, I just kept kept going. So in other words, if you're interested, hopefully this will explain a bit. Some of it covers the process, some of it the reasoning, and with some bonus E/N poo poo thrown in for good measure. Anyways, I'm going to split it into two parts so you can ignore the second part if the first satisfies.)

Part I

Say your grass needs cutting. The most rational solution is to either start up the mower and cut it yourself, or pay a service to cut it for you. Every once in awhile though, you read about some whackjob who has spent the past ten years on his or her knees, ruler and scissors in hand, measuring each individual blade of grass before making a perfect 45 degree cut from the tip with said scissors.

It's kind of like that.

In most cases each photo starts out as a bunch of photos:

- Bracketed RAW files: generally around 5, but as many as 20 depending on the contrast range of the scene. These are spaced 1 stop apart, using the existing light sources present, whether natural or artificial

- A few shots using artificial lighting (Photogenic Powerlights, which are monolights)

- If there's some nasty reflections affecting multiple surface planes, I'll throw in a few with the polarizer adjusted to eliminate or minimize each reflection.

So there's all of the ingredients. The next step is to convert them all. Remove any chromatic aberrations, lens distortion, etc, but no noise removal. Now that they're all converted, they're all stacked into one layered PSD file. At this point I am about two hours into the editing process.

At this point you're thinking "Alright, sounds pretty normal. He's going to merge them into an HDR file".

Nope.

Consider the last photo I posted above, shown as a thumbnail here:

You see that light switch on the left? Not the metal switch panel, but the actual plastic switch in the center? That's a selection. The black rubber pads that connect the wooden chair back to the metal base? That too, is a selection. In this stage I will select each and every single object in the photo, feather the edges a bit depending on where it's located in the focal plane, and save it as an alpha channel, as seen in the following screenshot:

There are two issues I've been dealing with lately. The first is that Photoshop has a limit to how many alpha channels a file can contain. It's somewhere in the 40s. My workaround for this is to have two copies of the image. The main image that will have about five alpha channels less than the max (to allow for adjustment layer masks), and then a secondary image, that serves only as a "bank" for the rest of the alpha channels. When I need one that isn't saved in the main image, I'll simply drag it over from the secondary, or tertiary image. I think my max was somewhere around 250 alpha channels for one image.

The second issue I've been dealing with is that the PSD file format has a maximum size of two gigabytes. My workaround is that I don't keep adjustment layers around for long, I'll usually flatten them as soon as I'm happy with the adjustment. Keeping the alpha channels in a second file also helps. If nothing else works, I'll split the image up into sections saved as separate files. This file size issue reared it's ugly head once I started working with 22mp files vs. the 10mp I had used previously.

The selection process can take anywhere from a couple hours to a week, depending on how detailed I want the image to be.

Once everything is selected, the fun part begins. I now have full control of every aspect of the image. I will now approach each object individually. I first select which exposure out of all of the brackets and versions that fits the object the best. Then I will adjust color, contrast, texture, sharpness, noise, focus, etc. for each object. Once that's done, I'll adjust groups of objects, and eventually the image as a whole. The options are practically limitless. I can even change the direction of the lighting in the image if I so desire. This process takes anywhere from a day to a week as well. Since I flatten as I go, it's a very linear, organic process. I figure out in my head which object I want to start with, and go from there. I usually won't know how I want the final image to look until I get there. It just flows.

After that's done, I flatten everything, export it as a TIFF, and send it off to the client. Unless I post it on Flickr, the image is then quickly forgotten and I move on to the next one. I might run by it as an ad on the subway, a billboard, website, or magazine, but that's about it. I'm not big into analyzing my own images. I guess I'm more about the process. That's probably why after seven years of photography, including two years as a "professional", I still haven't gotten around to making a portfolio or a website.

So after that you're probably asking why I put so much effort into a simple image of an apartment bathroom. The answer, as you've probably guessed already, is that I'm absolutely batshit insane. I am a perfectionist to the point that it controls my life. If I'm not going to produce the absolute best result, it's just not worth doing. OCD is a bitch. Combine that with severe ADD, and you can guarantee that poo poo just isn't going to get done. So I take adderal, which does the thing it's supposed to do, ie: get poo poo done, but it is impossible for me to multitask. Whatever I am doing at the time has my absolute 100% concentration. When I'm working on a photo, nothing else goes on. The next thing I know, I have a finished photo, but I've gone days without eating, forgot to pay the rent, two hundred unanswered emails, voicemails, and texts, can't remember when I slept last, and if I owned a pet, it would be dead at this point.

But hey, the photo looks pretty, right? Sure it's a week past due, but at least I got it done!

To Be Continued...

I searched for the post and couldn't find it either. Which is probably best that it's lost as 95% of it was incoherent rambling about my mental state at the time. That was really the peak of my obsessiveness that lead to my eventual breakdown, which lead to my current situation of trying to rebuild my career while living in my parents' basement�

I've tried before but it's really too complicated to explain what my post-processing involves. Sure, there's the tools, filters and techniques - but a great deal of it is subconsciously creating what my eye wants to see. If you ask me something more specific about a certain look or effect you'd like to achieve rather than the image as a whole, I'll be more than happy to give you some pointers to push you in the right direction. You just may have to bug me about it - my mind has two modes; (1) cluttered chaos preventing me from accomplishing any task, and (2) Extreme, tunneled concentration during which I forget everything but the task at hand. If you use AIM/iChat you can always shoot me a message at the screen name bgillettephoto.

Now to change subjects a bit. I have a favor to ask. I was invited to select 7-10 of my images to feature on the website https://www.neocollective.com and I'm having difficulty doing so. I'd like to feature my personal, "artsy" work but I think I should have a few of my interior images included as well. I put together a flickr set of the photos I plan to choose from, and if anyone here has some extra time to go through them and mark which ones they would or wouldn't include, I would be forever grateful.

Replace the nylon straps with some kind of rubber? Like maybe a tiny bungee cord or something.

Or maybe wrap some rubber bands around your tripod legs where it contacts the nylon strap to create a little more friction.

# ? Dec 5, 2011 21:16

friction increases exponentially with contact angle, so wrap the straps a few times around one leg and bundle the legs together with a band/velcro or something

Don't know if that's too many. Sorting through these I was thinking that you should do more people (shooting people that is), and also that what you do extraordinarily well is making scenes look like something from the Truman show. There's some surreal perfection in some of your images that just works. Anyway, that's what I like.

Now to change subjects a bit. I have a favor to ask. I was invited to select 7-10 of my images to feature on the website https://www.neocollective.com and I'm having difficulty doing so. I'd like to feature my personal, "artsy" work but I think I should have a few of my interior images included as well. I put together a flickr set of the photos I plan to choose from, and if anyone here has some extra time to go through them and mark which ones they would or wouldn't include, I would be forever grateful.

Edit: ^Goddamnit, somebody found it^

These are all based on what I like, and may or may not be what you're looking for. I always love your interior shots, but the "artsier" ones have more personality to me, and I enjoy looking at them for longer than I do the interior shots. I think the interiors are so technically perfect that it has an initial wow factor for sure, but when it comes to looking at an image multiple times, I much prefer your more personal/creative ones.

I love:
13th and Washington
Food Land
The Cove
Newmont Mining
2040 Lofts
Tacos El Cunado
Lodge - my absolute favourite. I plan to buy a print soon.
The Arsonist
Gram Chairs

There's a few of my favourite interior shots in there as well. Man your work is really an inspiration, both the interiors and the more creatives ones.
