I'm as conflicted with art as I am with science in that I can grasp the fundamentals of science however I still deep down want to believe in mermaids /vampires and alien civilisations - call it mad and bizarre but I'm just another strand of human nature that finds a certain comfort within the...

I completely agree with you.... From here we can look at an example of cctv footage as something that alledges to prove a person is at a certain place in time, which completely disagrees with the "this is not a pipe" statement - ergo art

View: https://youtu.be/atHQpANmHCE I like this youtube video about art as it simplifies it in a lighthearted way The video includes a famous painting of a smoking pipe which is entitled in French "this is not a pipe" This opens debate because it is a painting of a pipe - throw in photography...

What I found really interesting when researching was how photography (from its conception) had struggled to be part of the art world and also it's firm hold it had once it did - understandably this will not be everyone's view This thread has been great for debate and answers to why people...

Imo I believe you have it spot on here and they mention this in a few of the publications/journals about art I found that lots of art pieces in major exhibitions don't tend to have indepth information/descriptions near them and that leads us to bring our own views & emotions to the table...

Thank you yes this is the part that intrigues me too, and I will make sure I have a listen to the programme on BBC4 mentioned above aswell

Thank you for your comment, and really appreciate you looking at my Flickr The good part of having to learn about 'art' was finding out that certain artists rebelled against the system over the years - in my own view, art is very subjective and elitist with social & environmental factors...

This is an interesting thread as I am a self taught photographer (via the Internet mainly - forums - youtube - Flickr etc) I then went & studied a degree in Photography as it is an obsession of mine however I quickly realised at degree level it was literally 5/10% photography and the rest was...

I use the app called 'the photographers ephemeris' TPE for short - really love this software- you can search for locations using postcodes and even longitude & latitude you have to pay for it on phone but it's free on pc It uses Google maps and has a favourite section to store the places of...

Had a impromptu photoshoot with my cousin little cross staff/lurcher dog - she got bored far to quick though

Love these - so good

Such a nice capture ✌

Lovely images thanks for sharing

Sorry for the delay... My Internet been going haywire That's great help on all counts - i will look at the spigot and also mannequin stands The head is made of plastic and can be moved around on the neck /shoulder section, it isn't that heavy but I would prefer use on a stand so I can adjust...

Hi there, I have sourced a mannequin head (with shoulders and flat base) to practice lighting and flagging. I understand a mannequin will not be as good as a real model but after reading the book "light science magic" I wanted to experiment with the basics of portraiture in a controlled...
