In this video Phillip McCordall shares a tip about drip photography, which sounds simple but it turned out to be a lot more complicated. Studio photography can be fun and never taken too seriously when working for yourself, it shows that not even an established still life photographer can do everything.
great stuff good to see you back 🙂
Great video. I like your sense of humor! I’m in photography school and I’m very eager to learn all the technical aspect of photography, but I am and I will admit I’m really lazy to practice. Any advice on what to do or change? I find it very interesting, but I jus don’t feel like it to practice. Give me advice even if you have to be harsh. Sometimes thats what we need to wake up!
All I can say is ,it’s your future at stake, try to give yourself a project each week to come up with a great shot of …… I’ll start you of with a self portrait using a mirror but it has to be humoristic , a good shot of you as normal but in a humoristic situation . one subject a week is all you need.
Good luck Phill
Thanks Heidi
wanna do monthly challenge just cant do this one
For the moment it’s only you and I for a challenge, so I don’t think that will happen,no one want’s to be the first.
great advice.. think I might give it a try.
Phil, thanks for this tip. Also, check the work of Alex Koloskov. He does fantastic work with splash photography. Like you, he shares all is secrets. You can find him here: akelstudio . com / blog / It is really great that folks with so much experience are willing to help out new photographers.
Yes he’s great ,where do you think I get my ideas from 🙂 he seems to have a lot of cousins 🙂 there are a few good photographers on you tube, however there are others who say some very strange things and never seem to be able to backup their courses with photos. Have a go at tips and tricks 6 ,I’d like to see what people do with that.
I forgot to mention there’s a new site called itchyphoto followed by a full stop and com ,(can’t add urls to these remarks) where A photographer called Joanna has uploaded her result of T&P6
I’m having a bit of a problem of thinking of subjects at the moment 🙂
I’m sure ideas will come soon.
Phill
Great video.Thank Phil. From the Netherlands groetjes.
Another exciting instruction:) If I buy a flash, second hand (so, no book with it then), what do I need to know to buy the correct one for my camera? It has a shoe, I think it is called.
I love learning… period!
The “challenge” (the word “difficulty” has been corrected and I thank you very much) for me is to find a “solution” out of the bits and pieces I possess to see what comes of it and end up with the best result I can get! It will not be a professional quality but, it should be fun:)
Never buy a second hand flash without your camera at hand so you can try it.
2:26 love you :)
Phil, great video! I was just wondering, do you know where i could get a drip in the UK?
I would have thought any chemist,
Phill
Look on the internet for a book for your flash. I can’t think of the name of the site, but there is one out there that has books for just about everything and he doesn’t charge.
