Kinetic vs. Static Photos – Anton Dabbs
July 9,2014by Anton Dabbs ·Leavea Comment
The truth is, any subject can be a good subject for photography. But what makes a really
good picture? The type that people really want to look at, and don’t have to pretend to be
interested in when you show it to them.
I’ve included the picture above, which is a second unit photo from the film North by
Northwest, because I think it is one such picture. I’ve specifically chosen it among pictures
of the terrific plane sequence because as a second unit photo it is meant to stand alone.
When I look at this picture, what element draws me to it? The answer is twofold – what
happened before, and what is going to happen after. This is, I think, a key element of
what I love about photographs. While a picture is only capable of capturing one single,
solitary moment, it is also capable of implying both a past and a future. What happened
to make a plane chase after this man, and what is it about to do to him?
That being said, there is also something to be said for static photographs of a beautiful
landscape, for instance. In such pictures, the thing that draws me is exactly the opposite
of what draws me to the photo above. It is not the excitement of one moment plucked out
of the sequence of ever-changing moments, but rather the serenity of that which is
unchanging, or slow to change. It not the kinetic, but the static.
Anyway, I appreciate both types of photos, but happened upon this one today and wanted
to share it.

Taking photographs of the night sky, or astrophotography, is easier than you may believe.
There are some simple tips and tricks that will help you create beautiful photographs of up
above.
While a camera with manual controls, a fast wide lens, RAW capabilities and a big sensor
does make a big difference, stunning night sky shots of meteors, the Milky Way and star
trails can be captured using just about any camera these days. Stars can appear as
stationary specks or points of light or appear as streaks.
A convenient but difficult tool for figuring out how to avoid noticeable blur, or unwanted
star trails, is the 500 Rule. Take the number 500 and divide it by the focal length of your
lens (whether it’s a digital SLR or a point and shoot, this is typically displayed in
millimetres). The result is the maximum time in seconds before trails will appear.
To get a circular effect in the stars in your photo (taking advantage of the rotation of the
Earth), look for the ‘B’ for bulb release on your shutter control dial (or in the manual
control settings of many new digital point and shoot cameras). Use that setting with an
old-fashioned bulb-release cable (or your interverlometre) to hold the shutter open as long
as you want.

than ever before and they are sharing them faster with family and friends. With more
people having access to cameras, people naturally expect to have beautiful photos like the
ones they see online. With five easy tricks, you can have your photograph quality improved
without having to spend hundreds on expensive equipment.
1) Get basic composition down
In order to frame the photo, remember the rule of thirds. Break your frame into nine
squares roughly the same size. A dramatic show usually has the point of focus dead center.
2) Adjust Exposure Compensation
Your camera automatically adjusts the lighting based on how much lighting is in the shot.
The camera tries to determine the appropriate amount of light or dark that is in the shot.
3) Choose the Right Mode
Your camera probably has different options for shooting modes ranging from automatic to
specific situations. If you are taking a picture of a mountain top, put your camera on
landscape mode. If you are taking a picture of your son kicking a soccer ball, put your
camera on action mode. Your camera recognizes what you are looking for and helps with
shutter speed and exposure.
4)Watch Your White Balance
Your camera will try and set white balance automatically based on the type of light in
which it sees. Different light can affect the overall color of the photo. Fluorescent light
tends to make the picture green and sunlight is very blue.
5) Think About Lighting
Make sure to pay attention to how much light you have and where you are taking your
photos from. If you are outside, be careful not to take photos of someone with the sun to
their back. If you are taking a quick shot of a landmark or landscape and do not have the
time to adjust the light, use your camera’s flash to control the shadows.

Travel Photography
If you love seeing new places and have a passion for taking photographs, consider looking
into a career as a travel photographer. Travel photographers are needed for many
different types of publications including magazines, books, and newspapers, among other
forms of media. Imagine seeing your photographs made into a calendar, hanging in the
kitchens and offices of the homes of travel aficionados around the world. Advertisers are
also always looking for travel photographers to create eye-catching advertisements and
engaging websites. If you’re looking to get started, or looking to get discovered, the right
equipment and a portfolio are key.
Some good news is that, unlike studio photography, travel photography does not always
require gathering a ton of equipment. In fact, you should plan to pack light, only bringing
the most essential equipment along, because extra equipment can make traveling,
arguably the most important part of the job, a hassle.
If you’re wondering what qualifies as “essentials,” that literally means the bare minimum—
with some precautionary items. In addition to your camera, you should have a lens cap
and cover, strap, hood, truck case, as well as extra lenses. You should also bring along an
external hard drive with high capacity storage and preloaded with backup software. Keep
all of these items in a water resistant camera bad with a strap, and you should be prepared
for most things travel photography related.
Once you have taken your photographs, you need to the world, or at least potential
employers, to see them. Creating an online portfolio is a great, manageable way to market
your brand. Unlike a physical portfolio, in which you should only tell one story through
40 – 60 of your photographs, you can add an unlimited number of images that show
chase your talent to an online portfolio and categorize them your travels.

Advice From a Wildlife Photographer
Suzi Eszterhas, a wildlife photographer based in Marin County California, has written and
photographed a series of wildlife books for children that chronicle animals’ journeys from
infancy to adulthood. These books have earned her a featured cover on Time magazine
and a spot as the jury chair of the California Academy of Science’s first Big Picture:
Natural World Photography Competition. However, in her lectures, Eszterhas talks more
about wildlife behavior than photography.
Eszterhas emphasizes that photography is the second most important part of being a
wildlife photographer; knowing the behavior of the animals you are photographing comes
first. She says that getting to know your subject is an extremely important part of
photography. The best way to convey a message about something you care about is to,
first and foremost, understand it, and this understanding is attained through observation.
Eszterhas says, “Finding one subject, I think, is a really great way to create more powerful
imagery than to just photograph anything you see, and also a way to really potentially
provide some very unique imagery as well.” In the past Eszterhas has spent months
getting to know animals and their habits before beginning to take photographs.
This being said, Eszterhas also makes it exceptionally clear that the ultimate goal should
still be to obtain an interesting, visually appealing photograph. She said that for an image
to grab her attention, it has to be visually flawless. She described the way she looks at
entries in the Academy’s contest by saying, “When you’re looking at contest imagery, you’re
looking at things you haven’t seen before, or looking at something you see all the time, like
a mallard duck, in a way you haven’t seen it before. It doesn’t have to be cutting edge; it
could be just a stunning, beautiful, classical portrait. But it has to be a real eye-opening
image.”
Eszterhas spends most of the year abroad, but still lives in Marin. She believes the best
piece of advice for aspiring photographers is to travel. Travel allows photographers to
draw inspiration from new places while simultaneously gaining an appreciation for the
place one calls home. A new-found way of looking at the world will help photographers
find and understand interesting subjects, hopefully allowing them to create and capture
stunning photos.
