Several of my original prints are still in inventory and must be sold before the end of the year. Prices have been reduced to make it easier for you to own a one-of-a-kind original photograph. There’s only one copy of each, so don’t wait to get the one that catches your eye.   Contact me at 847.707.5623 or jack@jackcarlsonphotos.com for more information and/or to see the prints.

Title: Growing up with 4 Sibs    Taken at the Chicago Botanic Garden, I was intrigued by how all the goslings fell into line behind their mom. This black and white image does not remind me of my experience with my own children.  Actual Overall Size: 23″w x 15″h, Print Size 19.5″w x 9.5″ h

Weekly Photo Tip

Filters can make a difference

18mm, f8 @ 1/30, no filter

18mm, f8 @ 1/80 with 3-stop ND Grad

I received a 3-stop, soft-edge ND grad filter from the Camera Clubhouse cats. They decided to purchase from Breakthrough Photography since I mentioned that one of my students brought Breakthrough Filters to a recent class and, on inspection, the filters seemed to be very well made. An ND Grad filter starts dark and fades to clear so the placement of the dark portion is determined by both the bright part of the scene and the photographer. This filter made quite a difference in holding down the sun in the upper part of the image. Check out the “no-filter” image and ND Grad image. The difference will amaze you. Please note: I have no affiliation with Breakthrough Photography and chose them only based on student referral.

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.
