PacificLight Photography

Rocamadour, France. Our best images are much more than simply good composition in good light. Our best images are successful because they evoke an emotional response in our viewers; transporting them back to a place and time, allowing them to experience a moment in the same way we did as the photographer. To truly succeed, our images need to resonate with the viewer in this way. The mood created by or within an image helps to set up the viewer’s response to an image, makin...g them more receptive to the visual message you are trying to convey. Explore this idea a bit more in the accompanying video.

Found this tulip blooming by itself in a grassy field; not another to be seen for miles. "Bloom where your are planted". The red-green complement was kind of nice, too. . . . . . #calledtobecreative #createexplore #Creative #creativityfound #dowhatyoulove #elearning #FindYourLight #justgoshoot #landscapecaptures #LearnPhotography #onlinelearning #passionpassport #photoeducation #photographyeducation #PhotographyIsArt #PhotographyIsLife #photographylovers #photographytraining #photographyworkshop #PhotoJourney #PhotoLife #PhotoSchool #PhotoTips #visualsoflife #YouKeepShooting #BPSOP #tulip #bloomwhereyouareplanted #redgreen https://instagr.am/p/B_-6t1VojyM/

Stuck at home. Lot's of time to go back and play with older images, trying to come up with new ones.

With all this time to spare, it's a good time to go back through your files to find those overlooked images. When you find one, think about what it was that made you raise your camera to your eye and capture the image in the first place. I've always been fascinated by the undulating fields in Tuscany; reminding me of waves on an ocean. Always brings a sense of calm and tranquility to me. How you treat an image in post should always be informed by the thoughts and feelings exp...erienced in the moment. Think about what moved you to create the image, and then work to bring that out in the image. To quote David Alan Harvey, "Don't show me what it looks like, show me what it feels like" . . . . . #calledtobecreative #createexplore #Creative #dowhatyoulove #elearning #FindYourLight #justgoshoot #landscapecaptures #LearnPhotography #onlinelearning #passionpassport #photoeducation #photographyeducation #PhotographyIsArt #PhotographyIsLifee #photographylovers #photographytraining #photographyworkshop #PhotoJourney #PhotoLife #PhotoSchool #PhotoTips #visualsoflife #YouKeepShooting #BPSOP ##tuscany #landscape #tranquility #ViaLaurentana #Pienza https://instagr.am/p/B-mFW_ZJ9ja/ See more

No Bad Light. The much maligned mid-day light created a strong sense of aerial perspective, reducin the distant islands to just their basic shapes and nicely backlights the lone sailboat. No Bad Light.... only light innapropriate to your chosen subject and photographic message you are trying to convey.
