A Post By: Neil Creek The following post is from Australian photographer Neil Creek who is part of the Fine Art Photoblog, and is developing his blog as a resource for the passionate photographer. Welcome to the fourth lesson in Photography 101 – A Basic Course on the Camera. In this series, we cover all the basics of camera design and use. We talk about the ‘exposure triangle’: shutter speed, aperture and ISO. We talk about focus, depth of field and sharpness, as well as how lenses work, what focal lengths mean and how they put light on the sensor. This week’s lesson is Exposure and Stops So far we have covered the basics of turning light into an image, starting with the concept of the pinhole camera, then introducing lenses and how they focus light, and last time about how the qualities of the lens affect the size and brightness of the projected image.
Some Housekeeping Lesson namingI’ve updated the naming scheme for this series to include the lesson number as a “point” value after 101. Using a Workflow to Maximize Your Creative Output | Mysterious F. Art & GTD Part 3 of 5 Sometimes it helps to set up a workflow for yourself, breaking things down into doable steps in order to arrive at some deliverable result.
This applies to artists as well as anybody else. At my design job, our workflow goes something like this: Client requests (something) from us (for example: a brochure.)Account Manager/Creative Director/Project Manager assigns the project to a designer or copywriterDesigner brainstorms solo or with others, and proceeds to hash out some options for the clientClient gives the thumbs-up or thumbs down on one of the options, which will most likely need a few revisionsWe make revisions, going back and forth with the client until it’s satisfactorySend the design to the printer (or upload it to the web if it’s a web project) who then delivers the printed (brochures) to the clientWe bill the client and they pay us As mentioned earlier, art is not usually created to meet some outwside directive, but one from within.
