HT2433 - 1,000 Captures
When I used medium format film, I got 8 shots per roll of 120. I took 200 rolls of film with me to Japan in 1990, well over half of which came back with me unexposed. I came back from Colorado last week with 1,000 shots just of fall colors. My how times have changed.

HT2432 - Even 2500th Second Can Blur
HT2432 - Even 2500th Second Can Blur
During the initial review of images from the trip, I was surprised to see some handheld shots that were not sharp even though they had been shot at 1/2500th of a second and used image stabilization. How does this happen? How can I fix this issue in the future?

HT2431 - Mean Stack Noise Reduction Repurposed
HT2431 - Mean Stack Noise Reduction Repurposed
Back in 2022, I created a video in our LensWork Creative Labs series in which I discussed something called Mean Stack Noise Reduction. That technique is not obsolete in light of Adobe's AI Noise Reduction, but those images have a new and thoroughly unexpected use.

HT2423 - Roads
Making photographs and sharing photographs are two different things. Many of us make photographs because we can't not make them. Sharing, however, is an optional activity. As an optional aspect of our creative life, it's more likely that we'll think carefully about how much we are willing to spend on sharing.

LW1478 - The Reason We Do Photography
LW1478 - The Reason We Do Photography
All of us involved in photography have a reason we are so passionate about it. Knowing that reason can be helpful in directing our actions and recognizing those parts that will require discipline. What, precisely, captures your eye? When your heart skips a beat and you can't wait to pull out your camera, what is it that causes your enthusiasm? The light? The shadows? The subject? A composition? The picture you strive to make? There is no right answer to this question, but there might be a consistent answer for you. Perhaps reviewing your "best images" might give you a clue. Seems to me that knowing this aspect of your creative response to the world would be useful information.

Über LensWork - Photography and the Creative Process
Random Observations on Art, Photography, and the Creative Process. These talks focus on the creative process in fine art photography. LensWork editor Brooks Jensen side-steps techno-talk and artspeak to offer a stimulating mix of ideas, experience, and observations from his 50 years as a fine art photographer, writer, and publisher. Topics include a wide range of subjects from finding subject matter to presenting your work, and building an audience.
Included in this RSS Feed are the LensWork Podcasts — posted weekly, typically 10-20 minutes exploring a topic a bit more deeply — and our almost daily Here's a thought… audios (extracted from the videos.) Here's a thought… are snippets, fragments, morsels, and tidbits from Brooks' fertile (and sometimes swiss-cheesy) brain. Usually just a minute or two. Always about photography and the art life.
Brooks Jensen is the publisher of LensWork, one of the world's most respected and award-winning photography publications, known for its museum-book quality printing and luxurious design. LensWork has subscribers in over 73 countries. He is the author of 13 books on photography and the creative life -- the latest books are The Best of the LensWork Interviews (2016), Photography, Art, and Media (2016), and the four annual volumes of Seeing in SIXES (2016-2019).
