cia A Very Social Christmas and A Happy Connected New Year By niels-henriksen.blogspot.com Published On :: Fri, 23 Dec 2011 18:44:00 +0000 I want to wish everyone, whether you celebrate Christmas or other seasonal festivities, a very happy holiday season and a great new year with many new opportunities for creative growth.From the title you may guess that I am talking about social media, which I am, but more about how I try to fit within that world. Taken in 1955 in Denmark at 4 years old and trying to be a grown-up I believe that, like many people, I seem to have those social connections that you need to link with other people. This works fine if I need to talk or connect with someone but I’m not sure how my articles about photography and other art works all fit within the new worlds of social media. How do I remain fresh and new with all these social outlets competing for the same information. I have My Camera World Blog this and there is a corresponding Facebook page FaceBook My Camera World There is also my art blog ' Niels Henriksen Artworks ' where I post articles about my artwork, whether a painting, fine art photography or other mediums. This is again is matched on Facebook with Facebook - Niels Henriksen Artworks Who says all self portraits have to be ugly. Well maybe they are. There is also just plain old me on Facebook at Niels Henriksen. This Facebook page was initially just to connect with people I talk to regularly but I find I do post mostly about my photography and paintings.I have also loaded some of my photographs on Niels Henriksen on Flickr Please take the time to connect and I'll connect back so I can see some of your photographs. My first studio work where I placed my model battle ships and tried to created a war scene. DOF and focus what's that. Then there’s my Linkedin page which is only visible if you are on linkedin and we have connected. Since we are heading back to San Miguel de Allende for 3 months in Jan I have contacted people about conducting walkabouts with some basic photography lessons included. More than 20 people have shown an interest. To help co-ordinate these walk-abouts and share photos I created a Facebook page ' San Miguel de Allende Photography Club '. Even at 12 years of age I had penchant for the abstract. Honestly this was not an accidental shot, at least that's what I say now. And just lately I've signed on to Goolge+ but as yet haven’t posted anything and that’s the dilemma. How do I remain somewhat fresh across all the media outlets? I just don't want to re-post the same material available on other sites. I don't mind using some of the same images if there is some contextual difference for the audience. This year I want to get a better handle on the whole social media culture and ensure that on each site there is something new and relevant to the reader. I sure would like to here how you are handling your multiple media streams with your content or any ideas about what would work. Please feel free to connect with me on any or all these social sites as I'm happiest when I'm connected with you. Niels Henriksen Full Article Portraits
cia Patience - a Photographer’s Special tool By niels-henriksen.blogspot.com Published On :: Mon, 27 Aug 2012 14:37:00 +0000 Many times we see wonderful scenes and landscapes right in front of us. Our emotions are stirring especially since for the last few moments our vision and senses are taking it all in. Therefore, it must make a wonderful photograph. We take the photograph and move on knowing that we have a great shot because that's how we perceive our visual and sensory experience for this site.But when we get home it seems to lack that something special we experienced back at our location.Others who see the image may say it's nice but in reality it's just another tourist type shot. The experience we had is missing.The key ingredient missing is patience, or just plain waiting for the scene to evolve in either light-shaping or the actors in the scene. These actors can be real people or elements in the changing landscape.Light, it's strength or absence, is the key to all photographs. After this, it's the context of element within the science that further define the photographic experience.As an example, the photographs of a set of wonderfully painted stairs help to demonstrate the importance of patience to wait out a scene until the elements define it in a new perspective. There is a set of beautifully paints stairs just across the street from the Chateau Laurier hotel in Ottawa.But to photograph them is to only copy someone else's work. This is fine if all you want is to show others the beauty of these stairs.But there could be more if you only wait for people in this particular case to add the extra element to make this your own original photograph.I knew people walking up and down the stairs would add interest to the image but without staffed actors I could only wait for what?A few minutes later a solitary well dressed soldier from a ceremony on Parliament Hill was approaching the steps to walk down. Luckily there was no one else nearby to also transcend these steps.I waited until his eyes were near the wolf's eyes and took 3 rapid shots. It's hard to get the arms and legs just right so with 3, one should work well.It wasn't a busy place as these steps are slightly hidden. I felt good with the shot and started to walk on but a short distance later I felt there could be more if I just waited longer, so back I went.After about 15 minutes of waiting a bunch of young children and their parents started to head up. The little girl was leading the pack and it looked like she would head right for the wolf's ear. There were many others on the steps but I knew I could immediately afterwards take a photo of just the stairs and then edit everyone out.The photograph now looks like the child went up the steps to whippers into the wolf's ear.In many locations, taking the time to wait for something to change within the scene will make it a better photograph. The shadows created by the sun as it sculpts the landscape or intermittent clouds that create highlights within the scene. It could even be the addition of people, or removal of too many or the right combination of their colourful clothing that augments the photograph. Either way, occasionally take the time to explore the environment in front of or behind you and sit and wait for that extra photographic element.Niels Henriksen Full Article composition Street Photography
