Artistic Concepts and Processes

We all know what an essay is, right? We've all had experience in school writing one or, at least, reading one--a short, opinionated writing about a specific subject. However, there is an alternative definition, one we often don't consider --an initial attempt or endeavor. It is vital for us to create without being afraid to fail, essayer as the French put it, to attempt. In doing so we become more familiar with a process or technique and eventually, with enough attempts, we can become experts.

Here is a sample of my attempts...

The Dandelion's Mission and Studio Photography

We faced a couple of problems. First, it was difficult to get the sharpness we wanted given the light we had available. More, and brighter, lights would have helped. Flash wasn't really an option since I was shooting at the highest frame-rate I could and would not be able to give the flash ample time to recharge. The image could probably be underexposed as well, there was so much darkness from the background, the light meter probably wanted to let in more light than was needed. Because of the need of a wide aperture to obtain a fast shutter speed and the close proximity of the subject, depth of field was affected—parts of the dandelion and seeds are not in focus.

Overall, it was a pretty good first attempt.
