An Image from the “Natural Beauty at Home and Beyond” Photo Exhibition

January 31, 2018

Title: “Pansy Faces.”   Here’s the story behind this image:   Late on a gray Tuesday afternoon, I found myself walking down the main street in the highly-visited (i.e. overly touristy) Cotswold town of Broadway. Wanting to escape the coach loads of visitors that were beginning to swarm around the shops, I ducked down a small walkway between two buildings. Someone had thought to add a bit of color and interest to a window ledge. The light was flat but I liked the color and differences in texture and was able to grab this shot.  Tech Stuff: 28mm, f3.5 @ 125th, ISO 200. NOTE: This image is available for purchase at $125. It is mounted on Foamcore and matted in black. Please contact me for availability at the conclusion of the exhibition.

Weekly Photo Tip

Keep camera parallel with subject

When colors are dramatically different, you will want to keep the focus sharp across the frame. That’s a bit easier to do when you’re hand-holding the camera to grab a shot of a moving subject. Keep reminding yourself to find–and keep–that parallel for maximum sharpness. It works quite well for small subjects.

Keep camera parallel with flat subjects. F6.3 @ 320, ISO 200

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.
