Landscape Photography By Francesco Gola

Francesco Gola's landscape photography create you experience similar to there is no additional ground, just a huge spread of sea and sky, with a number of rocks and sunsets in flanked by. The Pavia-born Italian photographer is a fan of especially wide point of view, as healthy as of sunglasses and hue of grey, pink and blue. He was natural in 1981, but merely lately started captivating pictures, "and straight away fell in feel affection for by means of the never-ending limitations of the internal border." He catalog photography as his major foundation of motivation that permit him "to make known the association sandwiched between the exterior planet of Nature and the within planet of dreams, judgment, feeling, requests and wishes," and as well to "state self-mental and touching inspiration varied with thought and vision and figure it keen on an art form." certainly, even if there are no human being figures in his descriptions, that does not create them bereft of sentiment rather the opposing, really.

Travel Photography – Its the People

Photographing people has always been difficult for me. It takes tremendous courage and personal integrity to ask someone if you can take their picture, especially in the times in which we live. Its a skill that travel photographers like David duChemin, Matt Brandon and Gavin Gough learned long ago and practice every day in their art and work. Its also a skill that a master like Joe McNally makes look really simple in his latest book The Hot Shoe Diaries.

But its not a skill that comes easily to me, so I practice ever chance I get. Luckily, this young lady working at the Washington on the Brazos State Historical Site was kind enough to pose for me.

Travel Photography – The President’s Home

For you history buffs and for Matt Brandon just in case he gets homesick every now and then.

The Washington area was the site of the final home of the last president of the Republic of Texas. Anson Jones had arrived in Texas in 1833. Settling in Brazoria, he practiced medicine and his business thrived. Like other prosperous men he was drawn into the political conflicts of his era. Actively serving the Republic of Texas, he was Congressman, Minister to the United States, Senator, and Secretary of State. In 1844, at the height of his political career, Jones was elected president of the Republic.

It was a bittersweet legacy of Jones's short tenure as president for during that time the Republic of Texas ceased to exist. Instead, Texas became the 28th State of the United States. It was left to Jones to declare, "The final act in this great drama is now performed. The Republic of Texas is no more." - Anson Jones, President, Republic of Texas February 19, 1846

With these words Jones ended his public life and political career, retiring with his family to Barrington, the home he had built near the town of Washington. Anson Jones's star rose briefly with the Republic's "Lone Star" and faded quickly with annexation.

Nature Photography – Whisper

A friend of mine looking to buy his first DSLR asked me some interesting questions last week as he looked through my Flickr Photostream and blog. He was curious how I decided what subjects to shoot, which images to post and what type of post capture processing to use. Its kind of funny but I really couldn't answer his questions, at least not in any sort of technical way.

Take this image for example. When I approached these flowers it was a breezy spring afternoon and there was no one else around. All I could hear was the wind gently whispering through the trees and flowers. Its that "feeling" of quiet that I wanted this image to capture. When I look at this image, it brings back the memory of that moment and I can almost smell the sweet, light fragrance of these beautiful flowers again.

Using Canon’s ST-E2 Speedlite Transmitter

Canon provides two different means to wirelessly control your remote Speedlites today. The first is to use a 580EX II Speedlite as a "master" and the second is to use Canon's Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2.

There are some distinct advantages and disadvantages to using the Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2. The biggest advantage is it's size and weight. The ST-E2 weighs less than 6 oz with it's 2CR5 6v battery installed. Its very small compared to the 580EX II and mounts on your DSLR's hot shoe or on the Canon off-camera shoe cord OC-E3. The size and weight savings can be a real advantage when shooting on location.

Both the ST-E2 and the 580EX II master will allow flash output ratios to be adjusted between the channels they control with the ST-E2 allowing ratios from 8:1 to 1:1 to 1:8 to be selected in 1/2 stop increments. And while both the Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2 and the 580EX II will support any number of remote flashes, the ST-E2 controls only 2 channels while the 580EX II will control all three. Another big advantage to using a 580EX II as a master is the effective range. The ST-E2 s effective range is only about 40 feet indoors and 30 feet when used outdoors. The range of the 580EX II master is more than twice that. However, the biggest disadvantage to using the Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2 is that is does NOT support manual flash output and for many Strobists, this is a deal killer!

Although I may get flamed by other "strobists", for me the ST-E2 is a great accessory. At only $220 (USD) it's less expensive than using one of my 580EX II's as a master and it's way (WAY) less expensive than buying a set of PocketWizards. I've never found "line-of-sight" to be a problem when used indoors and I'm rarely placing my strobes more than 10 to 20 feet away from my camera.

I'm not really a flash "purest" and like the ease of use that Canon's E-TTL II brings to flash. I've found that Canon's thru-the-lens metering technology is damn smart when it comes to exposure and if I need to tweak it a little, the ST-E2 and my 50D provide all the extra control I need through FEC (flash exposure compensation) and flash ratios. Best of all, I can do this all from my camera's LCD and the back of the ST-E2 transmitter.

Given how well Nikon's i-TTL wireless CLS stuff works for Joe McNally, taking a look at Canon's offering makes perfect sense to a frugal (cheap) Irishman like me.
