Coalescing

It’s been two and a half months since my last post which essentially puts me on track (at least for this crazy year) for my schedule of posting. It is not a schedule I prefer but considering the stressors to the nation and our health, it will have to be so. It is a small step taken beyond the usual routine of trying to survive.

That being said, I still am trying to incorporate the techniques and wisdom of John Paul Caponigro into my work flow and understanding of photography. To this point I have purchased four of his digital videos on color theory, photoshop techniques, color strategies and techniques, not to mention printing methods. For me it was a wonderful discovery to find this throve of knowledge. I have watched JPCs videos many times to absorb what seems to flow so casually from him but is quite earth shattering to me. I have listened and have learned. Thank you, JPC.

I have re-created many of my previous photos using JPC’s techniques over the last 2-3 months. The currently posted one is a composition of two photos (actually three) that were re-imagined and recreated to get me to a place I’ve never been before. While I am not totally pleased with it, it does capture the spirit I was trying to achieve when I captured these visual elements.

The currently posted photo was taken at Conimicut Point, Warwick, RI with a Canon DS 5DS, EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM, F/16, 1/60″, ISO 160.
