The Landscape Painter’s Guide to Selecting Reference Photos
I previously wrote about 11 things you should do after you finish your painting, so I thought it only makes sense to also write about what you should do before you start. I am a firm believer that some of the most important work happens before you even pick up your brush. Below are some ... Read more

Photographer professional Алексей Шандуров (Aleksey Shandurov). Осенним лесом надышаться. Вспоминая осень в первый день зимы, вот навеяло.... Грежу я осенним лесом, буйство красок!Нет жары... Где нет места вечным стрессам, пусть кусают комары. Неизведанной тропинкой, прямо в гущу стройных сосен. Себя чувствую песчинкой... Видя царственную осень. Полной грудью надышаться... Хмелью леса..про запас... Не спешить,не раздражаться, тишина волнует нас. Где к коре, прильнув щекою, заряжаешься на год. Сих блаженства и покоя, в жизни так не достает... Лес осенний! Дай нам повод, необъятное объять! Мы вернемся в шумный город, чтобы помнить и скучать. Стихи Лены Славянской. From country Latvia. City Рига.

At least half of my painting effort goes into shooting good reference photos. I “create” my composition in the viewfinder and shoot with as wide dynamic range as possible. Lately I have been using a drone to get shots that would have been impossible before. In order to get the widest dynamic range, I shoot bracketed photos at different f-stops then process them on my computer with Photomatix. I shoot thousands of photos, often visiting the same places at different times of day to find the best light. Even though I fill up my hard drives with photos, very few make it past my stringent select process. Hope you enjoy! My gear for the last 5 years: REDOne, Red Epic, Red Dragon, Red Helium S35, Canon 5DM2, Canon EOS R, DJI Phantom 4 Pro.
