It's one thing to hear tips on how to be a better photographer, it's another to actually watch photos come together in real-time. Photographer Michael Shainblum created this 13-minute video where he takes you on a first-person narrated photo outing to show you how he makes his images.
Photographing the sea and the waves can be both challenging and fun. People often ask me what "the right settings" are to shoot moving water so I decided to write a little guide on it. There are many options depending on what look you’re going for. By using some examples of my own, I’ll explain how I shoot my seascapes.
For the past 2 years, photographer Che Chorley has been working has been working on a seascape project. Each shot is captured with the surface of the sea at about eye level, and each mainly shows the ocean, horizon, and sky.
But different weather and times of day cause the photos to have drastically different appearances. Chorley has put together a set of 25 seascape photos showing 25 different "moods" the ocean showed him.
Check out this photo of wispy clouds over a barren desert. It's actually a photo of a choppy waves hitting a beach... flipped upside down. New Jersey-based fine art photographer Michael Massaia's latest project is a series of these disorienting upside-down beach photos. The series is titled "The Pull: Inverted Seascapes."
Many photographers capture close-up photos of ocean waves, but photographer Ray Collins has a portfolio of wave shots that stands out. His images of "Seascapes" show waves frozen in time, captured to look like vast mountainous landscapes of solid rock and ice.
For the past two years, British photographer Paul Thompson has been trying to push the boundaries of night photography with his large format film camera. His images of landscapes and seascapes are captured under moonlight and require exposure times of up to two hours. The resulting project is aptly titled "Moonlight."
We came across some work by Maciej Leszczynski the other day, and wanted to share it with all of you.
