Comments on: Principles and Guidelines for the Modern Photowalker http://thomashawk.com/2007/09/principles-and-guidelines-for-modern.html Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:33:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: K http://thomashawk.com/2007/09/principles-and-guidelines-for-modern.html/comment-page-1#comment-37247 K Wed, 15 Apr 2009 22:31:54 +0000 http://clients.emmense.com/thomashawk/?p=571#comment-37247 Hello Thomas, I'm an amateur photographer and have a camera I can use either auto or manual settings on plus a digital. I'm still experimenting with how to use the manual settings but I bring that camera and/or the other digital type with me every time I go out to an event or exploring. My significant other says I take "weird" pictures but I take what I think is interesting...an empty crabshell on a beach, a close-up of violets coming up in my back yard, or the whitish/yellow stuff that forms over a stream, you know where the stream slows & it kind of looks like scum but I saw it on a hike last week & it made the coolest design "V" formations that were shaped by the movement of the water. It's "my" art even if it is weird. Anyway, I liked your article so much that I hung it on my wall at my desk and highlighted the part that says "When I am out walking my eyes are open. I see the world in color. In all it's splendor and beauty. People are more real, more alive. The world is a far, far, more beautiful place." I found this online funny enough after getting back from a walk/jog interval session today. It was a beautiful day and this phrase just hit the nail on the head, so to speak; even though I had no camera at that time. Just writing to say I enjoyed it. Where can I find some good information on how to get better at the manual camera settings and how to use them? Thanks K Hello Thomas,

I do have to disagree with you the taking photo's thing. On one hand I love taking photos and I would hate to be stopped from taking a photo of something just because someone says I can't, but I have worked at locations that were contractors for the Defense department and they required that no one could take pictures of building, because it was what was required by their clients if the company wanted to keep a contract with the client. It didn't mean you couldn't take a picture off property, but if you did it on property you would be asked to give up your card or film or at the very least delete the pictures of the building. So from my prespective I try to think about it in two lights 1. is it going to do any harm just to take a picture? 2. Could someone come after me legally for what I may post on the net? I feel most pictures you don't have to worry about. I mean chances are if you take a picture of a person on a street they will never see it online amongst the millions of pictures. But if a company asks that I not take pictures of their building on their private property then I feel its wise to respect because its better to show respect towards a company then to feel like rule the world and can do whatever you want. Also, at the building I guarded if someone was to take a picture off of the property then it was ok because as security guards we had no say what happened there.
