The Basics of Photography

From: The Basics Of Photography by Chris Haslego

Photography captures a moment in time. It is a creative process as much as painting or writing and has the power to communicate the meaning of a scene or event. Photography is simple to learn yet at the same time challenging to execute. Learning the finer nuances of photography is based on three key aspects - Light, aesthetics and focus. Understanding these three aspects forms the basis of expressing yourself effectively through photography.

  2. I rarely discuss politics, but that was way too funny. Where in the world did you find that picture?

  3. If this is an example of 'good' American photography I must say we did it better in Russia. The focus is off and this Hillary person is very boring while also being hideous. Am I missing something? This is a standard throw-away photo no?

  5. I'm gonna go out on a limb here, but I think Hilary is quite attractive for a 60 year old. If she had remained a Goldwater girl I'd be all over it.

  7. Nah, 911, but Hilary wasn't that bad back in the 60's if you're into the Hippy look. Bill Clinton married her, so she must have been into sex at that time. I'm a little bummed this weekend, just found out Winona Ryder is playing Spocks human mom in the Star Trek movie out next year, and not a pointy eared Vulcan chick.

  8. Photos like this make me yearn for Life Magazine. This would have made a perfect cover.

    By the way, happy National Doctor’s Day!

  11. I suggest you all read C*nt by Inga Muscio. This picture will take on a completely different meaning.

  13. Lofty, were you my dad in a prior life? (Switching to Andy Rooney voice) Juh ever notice women really hate the word "Cunt"? You can have a tough nosed hooker, she slapped Al Capone and ran guns for Castro, but call her the C-word and she cries like Luci Ricardo. Why is that? Its like kryptonite with superman.
