Why is it called photography?
"Photo" comes from the Greek word phos. The ancient Greeks named the brightst star Phosphourus; phos meant 'created by light'. The combining form"-graph" comes from the word graphic, meaning sharpley defined. Photographs are clear images by light.
What makes a photograph?
Creating a photograph involves the consideration of lighting, focus, color, contrast, quality and what can be seen sharply. Controlling these elements is what makes an image photographic
From the most excellent book "Photography" by John Inglewood published in the UK by Laurence King publishing
Bravo Ruse!
This goes with the previous comment. Typo Error.
... "Photographs are clear images created by light"
Oops sorry
Great composition and an interesting subway view, Travis.
Happy New Year!
Trapped in the underground, underground.
By the way, this kinda reminds me of the dancing scene with the jail cells in the movie 'Chicago'....(just a side note)
Lovely shot.
Great horizontals and contrast - love the yellow in the shot.
Very nice composition and use of lighting (as always!). I'm strucck by how much there is to see in this shot. I was thrown off for a bit by all the differently contrasted pieces, which drew me even more into the image. Nice capture.
It''s not a capture!...its a photograph, please don't use that term , it's about images not how those images were made, use any tool you want it's always a photograph. Richard Avedon's first photograph was made by taping a negative to his skin and letting the sun burn the image of his sister onto him. That's a photograph!
Travis,
As usuall a great photograph, love the contrast between yellow side of the platforms and dark / balck beams of that station. And the train in the background, I can almost hear the screetching on those tracks of Union-Sq station. I really like this one!
regards, peter.
