Nature Photography and Other Images (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

If one can define art as a creative activity resulting in a visual representation of imaginative designs, then making a photograph can be an art form. This form can be an image to convey emotions, relationships or ideas. Photographic equipment and technique are mere extensions of the creative process to produce this image. In his photographs, Andy has tried to capture the exquisite details that are transiently or never seen, whether they be vivid colors, or confluence of design and function. If, for instance, he photographed a flower as he initially saw it, the flower would be small and without detail. If he enlarges the image (thereby a macro), the details are more evident and are seen more clearly. Then one takes time to look at nature more carefully and to see things not really seen before. Yet macros are not Andy's only interests. Photographs can record a moment in time, features of the environment, unusual colors, fascinating contours that can be stored for all posterity and brought up again and again to enhance memory and stimulate emotions. But the quest continues, to produce an image that is beyond the ordinary - one that you look at and say - "Wow".
