The New Photograph:
Technology is enabling photography to
capture images of the the earth and light
in new ways, and to edit these new captures
with a degree of finesse and precision
undreamed of in the darkroom.
From more
realistic renditions of the real world,
to cameras now liberated from blocked
infrared, to hand-held stereo, wide-dynamic
range, corrected perspective, panoramics,
huge stitched-composite files for high
resolution files, GPS enabled location,
metadata and geo-views, and on the fly
video from the same device, all of these
new capabilities mean more power for
the photographer to record and describe
what they see. This empowers the imagemaker,
and increases likely sale of the images.
This lecture will be a survey of these
capabilities and suggested workflow to
handle them.
