Photography is Like Wine

Nov04

And that’s why I love it so much. See, wine is an organic experience, if you will. No two bottles are the same. Wine is a living, and breathing thing. You can get two bottles of wine, that are from the same vintner, of the same vintage, and the same varietal, even the same barrel, but if you uncork them at different times, even a minute, you’re likely to get a completely different juice.

Photography is the same way. You can go someplace where thousands have been before you, and bust out your camera, and take a picture, and no matter WHAT, your picture will NEVER look like another. The sun is different, or the sky is different, or the subject is different (as in moving water, etc). I am probably pointing out the obvious here, but still, it brings me joy to observe it.

I started screwing around with HDR for the first time today, and while HDR is capable of bringing amazing color to images, I found myself most impressed with what I was able to do with a black and white image…

Black and White Shot of the Russian River

I have a lot to learn, not only about photography, and post production too, but I can’t help but be ELATED with this shot.
