The Image Tale
"The way I approach photography is not to take pictures, but rather be taken by an image. If I have any rules of composition that I follow, besides simply being taken by my photographs, they are:
if it looks cool-take a picture of it
a still photograph is called a still photograph because the objects in the picture are not in motion – the mission is to capture motion with stillness
be taken by an image, do not take the image
find the stage and the players will come
the background is as important as the subject
a photograph is more about the quality of it’s blur, the “bokeh”, than it is about the point of focus.
To be perfectly honest the only thing that was going through my mind the moments before I captured this image was “wow…. look how cool the crumbling wall and scuffed up tiles look… whoa…”. This means that the consideration of “if it looks cool take a picture of it” is now at play. So what happens next is I put my tripod down, set my camera on top of my tripod, and move the tripod around until I get a “framing” that is “whoa…. cool…”. Notice how the tiles are angled, how the red line at the right bottom corner of the image moves at an angle, how the bicycle moves from the edge into the center and how the colors, specifically the rich blues and mustard yellow, work in concert with each other. There’s just one thing missing – something interesting happening in the image. I have the stage…
What I have is a too plain interesting plainness. It’s really nothing – then BAM! The moment of extreme gesture that is perfectly balanced in my framing happens – a woman enters. Following what is the core basis of how I photograph, which is a belief that with absolute spontaneity you get absolute truth. You can only be one way if you are spontaneous and that’s truthful. I never pose or stage a subject. I just frame a stage for the interplay of life to walk on to."
This image was taken during my Palm Beach Photographic Centre's Viet Nam workshop and was captured with a Nikon D300 with a 70-210mmD series lens.

It's the weekend once more and I hope you've all made it through the week okay! So far, so good for me! So, here is a new artwork that I'd just finished and buttoned up this morning. It's call it “Blue Moon”. It was created with many multiple steps and applications, like most of my digital art. I would estimate it took about 3-4 days about one hour sessions each time to complete this scene, that doesn't even include the post-work that is needed to make it POP. In this one, I'd actually hand painted some of the vegetation and object that where used in this scene. I had painted them with acrylic onto artist quality paper and then once they where dry, I then scanned in high resolution, into my digital art application, and was sure to save them into my ever growing object library. FYI: I have more that 10 Gigabytes, most likely north of that, of original and custom crated images and Objects, they are located on a large external HDD connected to my digital art workstation. I'll paint things, like Trees, or Grass, even some Clouds, etc. and save them into my library of objects. I even have made my own lighting and atmospheric effects. So, I can create images like this by using a combination of 3D art applications and my tried and true PaintShop Pro, also, with some digital painting added in. I can make about any image, or scene that I can imagine... Having these tools it such a powerful resource for me, being, I can use the digital art as a reference, to paint using real paints and brushes on canvas. That way I can paint places that don't really exist, except in my imagination and I generate on my computer, that's very cool!! So, this one is defiantly a fantasy piece and I've always wanted to use a Dolphin as the subject, being, they are such intelligent and beautiful mammals! You can say Art gives me Porpoise, LOL!! Thank you for looking and your continued support my friends, take care and happy weekend!! :-) Your artsy friend, Artist, Dan Seitzinger – DMS Studios – My Website: www.danseitzinger.com
A Gigabyte X99M Gaming 5 motherboard, just arrived and ready to build on, seen against the background of my then current "Main Computer" (the one I do most of my computer work (including uploading of pictures to Flickr®) at... That computer bricked on me (in Frankfurt, Germany of all places, about a year on from this shot...) and has since been replaced. Taken in Albany, CA by a Nikon D610 at ISO 3600 with a Nikkor 50mm ƒ 1.4 AF-D lens. Exposure is 1/50 sec @ ƒ 6.3.
Also seen, over on the upper right corner, is the mouse for the "Main Computer". this mouse is also now dead, but did not die at the same time as the computer - it served with the German replacement for a while...

Gigabyte B450M DS3H mATX MoBo. $58
AMD Ryzen 3 3200G APU OC'd to 4GHz on all cores. $100
AMD Wraith Spire Cooler leftover from my 3600XT.
ADATA XPG Spectrix D50 2X8GB DDR 3200MHz C16. $80
ADATA Swordfish 250GB m.2 nvme. $38
Hitachi HGST Ultrastar 3TB SATA3 HDD. $49
EVGA 600BQ 600w PSU. $59
Cooler Master Sickleflow 120mm and 92mm fans leftover from my NR200 sff case.
Right now I have it set up as a Plex Server. Had to disconnect the 80mm antec fan. It is obnoxiously loud and a bit superfluous since there's nothing to cool down there.
Amazing what $410USD all-in can get you in the PC game these days.
A high end gaming PC I shot for PC Magazine in Dubai. Trying to have a little fun with having to shoot boring IT products.
Info for strobists: Sb800 bounced of a large white card camera right at 1/4 power. Sb 800 bounced of white card camera left at 1/16 power. Snooted sb800 high camera left creating shaft on background. SB28dx inside computer.
