Weekly Photo Tip

Who needs post?

Direct from the camera. Who needs post-production?

I bought a Fuji X100F camera since the V version was unavailable for much longer than I cared to wait. On my way to class at the Chicago Botanic Garden early one recent Saturday morning, I saw this highly symmetrical arrangement of flowers and plant material in the Circle Garden. With colors like this, what could possibly be done to improve the scene? The weekly photo tip for this week is actually this reminder: You didn’t buy a camera to spend more time at your computer.

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.
