Weekly Photo Tip

All about color–or not!

Old shingles on the way to the scrap wagon.

When the day is gray and there’s no color in the scene, don’t shoot in color. If your camera let’s you dial in a black/white setting, do it. If not, remove the color when you’re back at the computer.  On the other hand, when there’s color, look for ways to add interest to it, then fill the frame. Always take time to See–Think–Act .

Add something of interest to blocks of color.

About Jack

A classically trained musician since childhood, Jack Carlson always had the “ear” of an artist. It was only a short step to develop the artist’s “eye” as well.

The portfolio of this certified photographer reveals images that emphasize mood and composition. Their purpose is to present a feeling in addition to portrayal of person, place or thing. Sometimes that feeling is nostalgia; other times it is serenity.

Each photograph tells a story.
