It’s About Light

Mark Goldstein | Technique | July 23, 2004 | 1 Comments

Tellingly subtitled “Just Wait 32 Seconds”, the latest Luminous Landscape article looks at the effect of light on a landscape photograph.

“On my recent workshops in Iceland (July, 2004), I would often drive right past potentially interesting subjects, simply because the light wasn’t happening. People would say, why don’t we stop for a shot, and my reply would be - because the light sucks. Other times I would stop to take a photograph and people would say - what do you see? My answer would be - the light is great, so let’s look around for worthwhile subjects.”

This short article makes little sense. The author talks about only waiting 32 seconds for the right light, but then goes on to tell us that interesting subjects seen from a speeding car shouldn't be considered subjects if the light wasn't interesting at that moment?

I understand the point of the article but how it's presented is nearly worthless.
