Summer in the orchard — in digital color
Jul 7th, 2008 by Bob
Yes, I shoot digital.
I’ve had a Canon EOS 20D for a couple years and enjoy taking photos with it. Digital photography is a new and exciting medium, although frankly an awful lot of people don’t get as much out of their digital images as they could.
A year or so ago I went to an exhibit of amateur digital photography. The minute you walked into the gallery, you could see that all the images — whatever their subject — were the same: over-saturated color, posterized printing, that flat brittle look that has taken over everyone’s snapshots.
I’m trying to avoid that. Here’s a flash-blur shot taken of a pear tree on a summer evening here in western Oregon.
Ah. Love it. I was checking some of my external links to see if they were still working, and stumbled upon your latest work. Great stuff.
Best,
Dave Beckerman
p.s. I added you to my blogroll - http://www.davebeckerman.com/blog - hopefully it will help spread the word a bit about your art.
Thanks, Dave. Nice to hear from you and hope you’re doing well in New York.
