Then and Now

Posted by Thomas in Tuesday, June 10th 2008   under: Photography Techniques    Tags: new images, old images, photography, techniques, thomas may   


Sometimes you might visit a place and wish it would remain untouched by natural and human forces through the sands of time. But like they say, “Time and Tide wait for no man”. The same site, after a few decades, years or even months may change to an unrecognizable extent. Re-photography of these sites after a certain time period can prove to be an exciting hobby. Some of these pictures are casual, usually taken from the same viewpoint but without regard to the season, lens coverage or framing. Some are very precise and involve a careful study of the original image. It is fun and easy to do re-photography especially because of the increasing availability of historic photographs. …click here to read more

Photography can be classified into 3 major types i.e. Black and White photography, Colour photography and Digital photography. Out of these three, the Black and White photography is the oldest one.

Shooting Wildlife photographs is an art by itself. Wildlife photos need not be just the animals. In Fact, they shouldn’t just be close ups of a particular animal. You can get one of those at the zoo.
