Camera Position 53 : Realizing the Image




Jeff Curto's Camera Position show

Summary: An image isn’t finished until it starts to feel like what you saw. Here is a brief look at the way I approached the post-production (what we used to call “darkroom work”) of this recent image from Gubbio, a marvelously medieval town in northern Umbria, Italy. The differences are subtle, but the idea is to more accurately capture the feeling and mood of the time of exposure.<br> For a great overview of how to create outstanding prints of your own images (even in the digital age!) check out Ansel Adams’ <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FPrint-Ansel-Adams-Photography-Book%2Fdp%2F0821221876%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks%26qid%3D1188972478%26sr%3D1-1&amp;tag=camerposit-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325" target="_blank">The Print</a>.<br> <a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.cameraposition.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/gubbio_final.jpg" target="_blank"></a><br> Gubbio, Umbria, 2007 – Photograph by Jeff Curto<br> click image for a larger view <br>
