Cinematics

When in high school we were shown the movies Baraka and Samsara. These movies were extremely moving and I appreciated that they were both shot completely on film.  There is no narrative so the experience is completly dependent on visual and audio components.  I really like the integration of filming natural places, the human experience, and technological advancments. I also think that the films cover a lot of interesting social and environmental issues.

Photographing Natural Patterns

Look for bunching of groups and repitition of space and shapes Counterpointing of spacing instead of consistency Use a telephoto lens and/or extension tubes to bring your focusing point closer Use a small aperture to keep things crisp Fill entire frame with the pattern Use a out of place element to add interest Use reflector to diffuse light towards subject instead of direct lighting
