			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every photographer on the world, must ever been shooting landscape. Landscape / Nature photography are the most and the basic attract thing which is magnetting people to take a memorable picture. It was human nature, that we like to see green or clear blue color in our environment. Looking at green golf field or clear blue sky or water in the beach are on of inspiration to take a master piece picture. The question is where and how to start it, first of all you need to search for that great green or blue view. One of the best recommended resorts is <a href="http://www.princeresortonline.com/" target="_blank">Myrtle Beach Resort</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.orangefruit.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/sunset-beach.JPG" alt="sunset-beach" title="sunset-beach" width="635" height="382" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-179" /><br />
<span id="more-175"></span></p>
<p>In <a href="http://www.princeresortonline.com/" target="_blank">Myrtle Beach Resorts</a> you could find those beach views, including the green view in golf field. The beach itself off course has a lot of things to dig, you could photograph the rising view or sunset view, or your might want to take beach environment.<br />
You might surprise what you could get in the crowd.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.orangefruit.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/sand-beach.JPG" alt="sand-beach" title="sand-beach" width="641" height="422" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-176" /><br />
One of <a href="http://www.princeresortonline.com/" target="_blank">Myrtle Beach Accomodations</a> which you could get is the golf view. From there you could play while looking for your further inspirations. Instead of those two views, <a href="http://www.princeresortonline.com/" target="_blank">Myrtle Beach Accommodations</a> have more surprise to discovered. Lots of activities you could get in there.<br />
Don&#8217;t forget, the best photographer are the one who can take a quality time to take a picture, no matter where they are.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems that you love doing black &#038;<br />
white photography, Please explain<br />
why.<br />
I believe black and white is immediately<br />
more mysterious because we<br />
see in color all the time. It is also more<br />
subjective. I think it is quieter and more<br />
calm than color. I like to print all my<br />
own work and I can interpret black and<br />
white very subjectively in the darkroom.<br />
It is a personal preference.<br />
<img src="http://www.orangefruit.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/micke4.JPG" alt="micke4" title="micke4" width="675" height="567" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-162" /><br />
<br /><span id="more-161"></span></p>
<p>Everybody shoot landscape. But<br />
only selected create some good ones. What did they missed to make<br />
it good?<br />
Art, in all forms, is immensely subjective.<br />
I don’t know if anybody can give<br />
universal reasons why something<br />
should be categorized as “good” or<br />
“bad”. I certainly do not have that understanding.<br />
Some photographs touch<br />
us emotionally, more deeply than others.<br />
There are many reasons why this<br />
could be, including; choice of subject<br />
matter, technical excellence, aesthetic<br />
pleasure, personal resonance, intellectual<br />
curiosity, etc.<br />
You do very intense personal project<br />
and also commercial project. What<br />
interesting for us is both project<br />
output have the same style and the<br />
same character. While some photographer<br />
do a very different style &#038;<br />
character of output when shooting<br />
for personal &#038; commercial project.<br />
What do you think about this? Why<br />
can’t they do the same?<br />
I am very fortunate and due to the success of my landscape work, I have<br />
been able to accept commercial work<br />
which allows me to use my personal<br />
style of photographing. There would<br />
really be no reason for anybody to<br />
commission me if they didn’t want the<br />
resulting images to be in my style. I am<br />
also not sure I could photograph very<br />
well in any other way. Practically speaking,<br />
most photographers are not in a<br />
position to turn down work and it is<br />
necessary for them to adapt their style<br />
and technique to the client’s needs and<br />
wishes. I would certainly do the same<br />
if my fine art work did not give me any<br />
income!<br />
Mention one word that describe<br />
your photos<br />
Sorry, I cant : ) I will leave that answer<br />
for somebody else<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.orangefruit.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/micke5.JPG" alt="micke5" title="micke5" width="703" height="585" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-163" /><br />
<br />
What kind of picture deserve labeled<br />
as “the great one”?<br />
I think a book could be written on<br />
this subject! In fact, many have been.<br />
I believe a “great” photograph is in<br />
the mind, heart, soul and spirit of the<br />
beholder. Some photographs may be<br />
considered “great” by consensus, others<br />
by single individuals. There are “great”<br />
photographs by ordinary photographers,<br />
and ordinary photographs by<br />
“great” photographers. Ultimately,<br />
“great” is a label, subjectively applied.<br />
You regularly do exhibition. Do you<br />
think all photographers should do<br />
exhibitions regularly? How often?<br />
And please explain the reasons.<br />
I cannot speak for other photographers.<br />
For myself, I think it is important<br />
to share images, whether it is through<br />
exhibitions, web sites, books, calendars,<br />
posters, notecards, etc. I think one<br />
of the prime reasons to be a photographer<br />
is the willingness and even<br />
necessity to exhibit what is created.<br />
Being a photographer means that I<br />
hunt for experiences. I am privileged to<br />
witness amazing things. I try to record<br />
and interpret them. I don’t believe I<br />
should hoard the results. I like to think<br />
that I am a medium for others to see<br />
things they might not otherwise have<br />
the opportunity to see. I think that I am<br />
really a guide.</p>
<p>Practically, exhibitions give me deadlines<br />
to finish prints. They help me to<br />
survey a body of work objectively, and<br />
I am always interested in the viewers<br />
reactions and responses. Exhibitions<br />
also enable to me to survive because<br />
my livelihood is very much based in<br />
print sales.<br />
If there is some kind of checklist<br />
to achieved before you press the<br />
shutter release, what aspect/point<br />
should be on the list?<br />
I would suggest that there is some sort<br />
of resonance, connection or personal<br />
response with the subject matter. But it<br />
is different for everybody. Sometimes,<br />
it is a form of therapy just to wander<br />
and photograph. The results may not<br />
even matter. Sometimes it helps to<br />
see, understand and connect us the<br />
world. Sometimes, it does precisely the<br />
opposite and rather than experience<br />
the world itself we hide behind the<br />
camera. I like to think that I am having<br />
a conversation with whatever I photograph.<br />
I try not to steal an image, but<br />
rather acknowledge that a photograph<br />
is being made.<br />
I look for an interesting composition,<br />
an arrangement of shapes and tonalities.<br />
I am drawn to certain lighting conditions and atmospheres. But it is<br />
all so personal. For example I’ve always<br />
liked to photograph in “conditions”;<br />
mist, rain, snow, etc., where distracting<br />
backgrounds are eliminated or subdued.<br />
Sunshine and blue sky has never<br />
appealed to me. Too much light tends<br />
to reveal all the details of a scene and<br />
I am not interested in a perfect photocopy.<br />
I prefer suggestion over description.<br />
I like to use the analogy of haiku<br />
poetry where just a few elements act as<br />
catalysts for one’s imagination. Often<br />
I make long time exposures so that<br />
detailed water becomes floating mist,<br />
clouds in the sky become blurred masses<br />
of tonality and a populated scene<br />
becomes empty. The world is pretty<br />
chaotic, seemingly always speeding up<br />
and getting louder and more visually<br />
dense. I am interested in finding and/or<br />
creating calm shelters from the storm,<br />
places where quiet solitude is encouraged<br />
and inner contemplation is possible.<br />
I think we could all use a break<br />
from time to time&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A wise man once said, photographers can be considered as a great man<br />
not just because his work is stunning. But also thoughts.<br />
Many people even without the title though never photographer produces images<br />
that was so fascinating, but great photographer in addition to making the works<br />
&#8220;Large&#8221; is also seen &#8220;greatness&#8221; and &#8220;depth&#8221; quality through the words and<br />
thoughts. After dozens of photographers who have proven our quality<br />
presented here, one we found one that makes all the<br />
hear his thoughts to feel not understand anything, was not<br />
anyone. Is Michael Kenna, a British-born photographer who<br />
besides having the work so fascinating, but also had the thought<br />
extraordinary. Without the need for long-winded wide, the following excerpts of our conversation<br />
him.<br />
<img src="http://www.orangefruit.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/micke3.JPG" alt="micke3" title="micke3" width="636" height="587" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-159" /><br />
<br /><span id="more-153"></span></p>
<p>How did you know photography? Tell us from the beginning.<br />
I was born in 1953 in Widnes, Lancashire, England, The youngest of six children<br />
in a working class, Irish-Catholic family. There was certainly no tradition of art<br />
among my family at the time. Growing up I was highly impressed by the Catholic<br />
Church and just before I became 11 years old, I entered a seminary school to train<br />
to become a priest. I left the school when I was 17. Art had been one of my strongest<br />
subjects and I went on to study at the Banbury School of Art in Oxfordshire.<br />
Photography was one of many art mediums that I was exposed to as part of the course-work. I made images of my surroundings.<br />
<img src="http://www.orangefruit.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/micke1.JPG" alt="micke1" title="micke1" width="626" height="481" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-154" /><br />
It was very exciting. I think<br />
I took pictures in my mind from when I<br />
was a child, but my first serious efforts<br />
were made at this time.<br />
I later went onto the London College of<br />
Printing, where I studied photography<br />
for three years. Initially I studied more<br />
commercial aspects of the medium;<br />
fashion, advertising, sports, still lives,<br />
photojournalism, etc., and did not<br />
know about the rich tradition of landscape<br />
photography. Later on, I saw the<br />
works of such luminaries as Bill Brandt,<br />
Josef Sudek, Eugene Atget, and Alfred<br />
Steigliz. They were profoundly impressive<br />
and influential. I had studied the<br />
history of art in other courses and I was<br />
particularly entranced by the painters<br />
Casper David Friedrich, John Constable<br />
and Joseph Turner. But who knows<br />
where influences come from. I am<br />
sure that there have been thousands<br />
of painters, sculptors, photographers,<br />
writers, musicians, poets, etc., who<br />
have greatly influenced me. The list<br />
would be very long.<br />
After graduating, I did some assisting<br />
and printing for an advertising photographer,<br />
Anthony Blake. Landscape<br />
photography became my hobby and passion which I did in the mornings,<br />
evenings and on the weekend when<br />
I wasn’t “working”. It was really only<br />
when I went to the USA in the mid seventies<br />
that I considered the possibility<br />
of making a living in the fine arts. There<br />
were photography galleries in New<br />
York and there seemed to be a higher<br />
acceptance of photography as an art<br />
form. I decided to base myself in San<br />
Francisco, and subsequently lived there<br />
for many years, before moving North<br />
to Portland, Oregon in 2004, and then<br />
Seattle, Washington in 2007, where I<br />
currently live.<br />
<img src="http://www.orangefruit.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/micke2.JPG" alt="micke2" title="micke2" width="598" height="548" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-157" /><br />
<br />
What interest you on photography?<br />
Imagine being out at night, alone,<br />
under starry skies, listening to silence,<br />
watching the world slowly move, all<br />
senses alive, thinking, imagining, and<br />
dreaming. The camera is recording,<br />
creating, documenting, seeing what<br />
the eye cannot see &#8211; cumulative time.<br />
Or imagine the sensation of being in<br />
a field as the snow falls on a single,<br />
exquisite tree. White all around. Just<br />
the sound of snow falling. Or again,<br />
the crashing of angry waves, pre dawn,<br />
against white sand, clouds in the sky,<br />
a glow on the horizon from the slowly<br />
wakening sun. Then call that “work”.<br />
There are moments when the elements<br />
of life come together magically; conditions,<br />
places, subject matter, inner connections;<br />
moments that are singular<br />
and very special. It is a privilege to be<br />
present at such times and to have the<br />
possibility to integrate into the scene<br />
and subjectively interpret. It is an experience<br />
that defies description, at least<br />
from me. These experiences drive my<br />
photography. I think it is a wonderful<br />
way to go through life. I love almost all<br />
aspects of the photographic process;<br />
planning, traveling, searching, image<br />
making, seeing the first contact sheets,<br />
printing, exhibiting, making books,<br />
everything. I am a very lucky person to<br />
have found this path and am extremely<br />
content.<br />
It seems that you love doing black &#038;<br />
white photography, Please explain<br />
why.<br />
I believe black and white is immediately<br />
more mysterious because we<br />
see in color all the time. It is also more<br />
subjective. I think it is quieter and more<br />
calm than color. I like to print all my<br />
own work and I can interpret black and<br />
white very subjectively in the darkroom.<br />
It is a personal preference.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Advertising photography is – from a commercial point of view – very interesting<br />
for photographers. These jobs are very good paid! But are the advertisement succeed?<br />
Henry Ford said: “I know that 50% of our advertisements don’t work, but I don’t<br />
know which half it is?” This is why ads are always tested. The companies present<br />
their advertisements to the people and ask if they understand the ad, recognise<br />
the logo, like the photo and so on. Biggest question is: “Do you remember the<br />
ad?”<br />
Photographers should take photos to remember! Advertising agencies try to find<br />
tools for making ads work better, like: show always blue sky and bright sunlight!<br />
Use colour codes – if the brand colour is green, use only green clothed models!<br />
For car ads make sure to have a sexy lady in the background! And many more<br />
rules for photographers.<br />
Pure nonsense! But this bizarre show to increase advertising effects goes on with<br />
a new tool: NEUROMARKETING.<br />
Test subjects had to watch advertisements whilst in a magnetic resonance tomograph<br />
(MRT) – and lo and behold: their brains lit up! Wow! Nobody knows yet why<br />
they lit up, but market researchers are convinced they have discovered a new line<br />
of business with “the potential to fundamentally revolutionise brand management”,<br />
via “direct access to the consumer’s brain”.<br />
Is that true? I researched myself.</p>
<p> <img src="http://www.orangefruit.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/emo1.JPG" alt="emo1" title="emo1" width="591" height="342" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-95" /><br />
<span id="more-94"></span></p>
<p>First of all, we improvised an MRT. For<br />
this we used an old oven and connected<br />
it to an &#8230; erm &#8230; a cathode ray,<br />
the usual, you know &#8230; and an ironing<br />
board as an examination table. If you<br />
ask me, that’s the way the real things<br />
are built, they’re just camouflaged<br />
better!<br />
Next we needed a test person, and<br />
who better for the job than my brother<br />
Markus? In the MRT, he was shown a<br />
magazine. And there, can you see it on<br />
the monitor? His brain’s lit up!!! This is<br />
what is known as the “reward centre”. It<br />
lights up most when confronted with<br />
a washing powder advert. See: clear<br />
proof of the potential of brain research!</p>
<p>Now let’s take it a step further: I’m going<br />
to directly access the test person’s<br />
brain. With the aid of, erm &#8230; what was<br />
it called again? Ah, yes &#8230; with a magnetic<br />
resonance indoctrinator, I’m going<br />
to project my sales message about<br />
ATA, the scouring agent. “Buy ATA! ATA<br />
will make you happy!” And the brain<br />
promptly shows ATA “indoctrination”, as<br />
scientists call it.</p>
<p>So, is it really possible to “specifically<br />
turn a consumer into a buyer and lastingly<br />
manifest a brand in the brain”, as<br />
the agency BBDO predicts?</p>
<p><img src="http://www.orangefruit.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/emo2.JPG" alt="emo2" title="emo2" width="561" height="256" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-96" /><br />
<img src="http://www.orangefruit.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/emo3.JPG" alt="emo3" title="emo3" width="348" height="346" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-97" /></p>
<p>Well, only 30 minutes on, my brother<br />
was seized by a strong desire to go<br />
shopping, so we took him to the<br />
supermarket. What will he buy, we all<br />
wondered? ATA, of course! There’s the<br />
proof: neuromarketing really works!<br />
Yihoo!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Landscape photography may have been done by everyone who got a<br />
camera. Unique as the factors which photographed the same object, many pictures<br />
produced differently by different photographers. Therefore after<br />
pleased to present landscape photographers from Europe and America, on the occasion<br />
This time we present Alex Soh, a lover of landscape photography<br />
Singapore. His works have a unique, hopefully<br />
can enrich your knowledge landscape photography lovers.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.orangefruit.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/al1.JPG" alt="al1" title="al1" width="308" height="464" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-66" /><br />
<span id="more-65"></span><br />
<strong>How did you know photography? Tell us from the beginning.</strong><br />
It started as a hobby, and from hobby it became a profession and later it became<br />
a passion. Photography has become a big part of my life. I can only remember<br />
shooting around with a compact camera when I was 13 years old. I took photography<br />
seriously only while I was studying at graphic design school, and that was<br />
14 years ago.</p>
<p><strong>What interesting to you in photography?</strong><br />
I am more of an artist, a trained graphic designer. Photography to me is the fastest<br />
way to create an art piece. My passion is to bring to people pictures of God’s<br />
creation and pictures that touch lives.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.orangefruit.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/al2.JPG" alt="al2" title="al2" width="631" height="417" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-67" /></p>
<p><strong>You had a graphic design formal education background. Does it<br />
help for your photography capability?</strong><br />
Definitely, we were trained to have eyes for colors, balance, line-arts and flexible<br />
mind to create, etc. I often find myself out there try to create pictures instead of<br />
taking good picture.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.orangefruit.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/al3.JPG" alt="al3" title="al3" width="631" height="314" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-68" /></p>
<p><strong>What’s the most difficult thing<br />
shooting landscape?</strong><br />
I love the mother nature and the challenge<br />
of the unpredictable weather. We<br />
can have the best equipments in our<br />
hands and as creative as we can be but<br />
if the weather does not cooperate with<br />
us, there’s nothing we can do. To me<br />
that’s a great challenge.</p>

<p><strong>We have seen so many landscape<br />
picture. There are some<br />
photographer that shoot the<br />
same spot but get different<br />
result. What should we pay attention<br />
more to create a better<br />
shot even in the same spot with<br />
others?</strong><br />
Capture with your heart, it will be your<br />
style. The idea is to be creative and not<br />
to follow others. Remember, if the result<br />
of what you are going to shoot will<br />
be the same as others’, what’s so great<br />
about your photographs then? What<br />
impact can it make? A great photogra-<br />
pher’s work will bring the audience to a<br />
new level of visual experience.</p>

<p><strong>Are you a kind of photographer<br />
that tell a message on any of<br />
your photos or a kind that only<br />
pursuit a “good visual”? Please<br />
explain why?</strong><br />
A good picture is when it tells a story.<br />
Often what I capture does not have<br />
the same impact. My job is to build the<br />
stock photo library for the company I<br />
work at, so I literally have to capture<br />
almost everything.</p>

<p><strong>What kind of photo satisfied you<br />
most when creating it?</strong><br />
The kind of pictures that would make<br />
me jump up and down when they were<br />
captured and those that bring smiles to<br />
people’s faces.<br />
Whether it is a portrait, animal or<br />
scenery&#8230;.I love them all. Today, I enjoy<br />
doing fine art photography and pictures<br />
that leave strong impression to<br />
the audiences.</p>

<p><strong>Mention one word that describe<br />
your photos.</strong><br />
Touching Lives</p>
<p><strong>What is the most attractive spot/<br />
location for you on shooting?</strong><br />
This is a tough question. Every place<br />
I visited had its own beauty, it is the<br />
question of how we appreciate it.</p>

<strong><br />
You said “photography is all<br />
about opportunity. An artist<br />
doesn’t make art – art happens.”<br />
please explain.</strong><br />
As an artist, you may plan in mind the<br />
kind of pictures you are going to shoot<br />
but the results may not be what you<br />
expect. You may agree with me that<br />
sometimes the accidental shots are the<br />
best ones.</p>
<p><strong>What should a photographer<br />
have in their mind when creating<br />
a picture regarding that<br />
statement.</strong><br />
Arts can happen anytime, anywhere.<br />
It’s a challenge for a photographer to<br />
always be ready and alert to capture<br />
the moment</p>

<p><strong>Please share us some tips to create<br />
a good landscape photos.</strong><br />
Picture tells a story<br />
Every picture tells a story. As an old<br />
adage goes: “ a picture tells a thousand<br />
words”, so the next time you take a<br />
picture, ask yourself what story are you<br />
going to tell. A good picture is the one<br />
that speaks to you.<br />
<strong>Foreground &#038; Background</strong><br />
Photography is about composition. You<br />
can go to a beach and take a picture,<br />
but when you reach home and look<br />
at the picture you took, what do you<br />
see? You probably only see the sky and<br />
the sea. The picture doesn’t look as<br />
beautiful as the real thing. Why? That’s<br />
because you don’t capture the atmosphere.<br />
There are many things present<br />
but you can’t capture them all into your<br />
frame because it’s too big of an area.<br />
That’s why the understanding of foreground<br />
and background is important.<br />
Try to bring a subject by the beach into<br />
the foreground. It could be a flower, a<br />
driftwood, a seashell, etc. This will give<br />
depth to the image you are about to<br />
take.</p>
<p><strong>Colors</strong><br />
My pictures are often very colorful<br />
because I know that colors attract<br />
people’s attention. When I took a shot<br />
of a bumblebee on a flower, I took time<br />
to select the background. Remember,<br />
whenever you take a picture you must<br />
not only concentrate on the subject<br />
matter but also to select a nice background.</p>
<p><strong>Clean-cut</strong><br />
Focus on the subject that you want to<br />
share with others, do not let unnecessary<br />
objects distort your story. Many<br />
times when you take a picture that<br />
you think will be nice but turns out to<br />
be not as nice as you thought it would<br />
be. Why? There are many reasons, one<br />
of them is because you have included<br />
too many subjects in the same image.<br />
Remember, when there are unnecessary<br />
objects come into your frame, crop<br />
it off. That is what I mean by Clean-cut.</p>
<p><strong>Angle</strong><br />
It will be interesting if you can capture<br />
your images from an angle that unpredictably<br />
different from what others<br />
would expect it to be/ from what others<br />
would normally see . Capture your<br />
images at a different angle and not at<br />
eye level. It will give your pictures a<br />
different feeling. If I shoot a picture from<br />
the top of a tree, I’m also taking my<br />
audiences up to the tree with me.</p>
<p><strong>Warm Up</strong><br />
Most good pictures come unexpectedly.<br />
Usually when I go on a photography<br />
trip, I only shoot rubbish during<br />
the first few days. You need to warm<br />
up in order to get your system ready<br />
to capture images. I remember on one<br />
occasion I saw a man walking down the<br />
road carrying two piles of wood one<br />
on each side. Suddenly a gusty wind<br />
blew his hat away up to the air. When I<br />
finished focusing my lens, the hat had<br />
already landed on the ground. A good<br />
shot was missed! I said to myself if only<br />
I had warmed up, I’m sure I would have<br />
captured that moment.</p>
<p><strong>Think Out of the Box</strong><br />
Do not think too technically because<br />
it takes away your creativity. Get out<br />
of the box! You will probably agree<br />
with me that many experimental shots<br />
turned out to be quite good. Allow<br />
yourself the latitude to explore. Especially<br />
with digital SLR camera today, no<br />
film cost, so why wait?<br />
In conclusion, photography is about<br />
practice more than possessing a<br />
creative eye, it is about making an<br />
effort. You don’t wait for the picture<br />
to come. You go for it. You must have<br />
the attitude of mind that everything<br />
has its own beauty and your role is to<br />
bring out the beauty of each subject.<br />
Remember you are the creator of the<br />
image. You are the author of the story<br />
that you are about to tell.</p>
