Watching the movie Joker, I felt repeatedly that I was watching a film that Greg Heisler could have lit. The use of color was unique, sophisticated and fearless — almost a character unto itself.

In this outstanding 15-minute short produced by Vanity Fair, Joker cinematographer Lawrence Sher dissects his own use of light and color in the movie.
__________

Please watch this video.

The piece is brilliant—and fully applicable to still photographers' exploration of the use of light and color. As you are watching, here are some key ideas that you'll want to learn to apply to your own lighting.

Single-Axis Black and White

When you are working with black and white, tonality (how bright the area in a photo is) is your only variable which which to create contrast and separation. This simplified structure is exactly why we embrace black and white in Strobist Lighting Workshops. It distills lighting down to a one-axis equation.

Learning to light in black and white is akin to learning the concepts of algebra by beginning with single-variable equations.

Three-Axis Color

The use of light and color, on the other hand, varies along three axes: tone (how bright it is) hue (what color it is) and saturation (how intensely that color is being expressed.)

Hue on its own is really a two-axis variable. There is a warm-cool component, which we think of as color temperature. But there also is a magenta-green component, which we think of as tint.

Magic Hour is Magic

Even with all of the embedded costs involved with managing a full cast and crew on a major motion picture, Sher often is governed by the 20-minute window of magic hour (AKA blue hour) to film outdoor scenes that are bathed in color.

As relatively unencumbered still photographers, our takeaway should be to always pre-plan how you are going to use every blue hour at your disposal when shooting an assignment or a project.

On our X-Peditions trips, this is the one time of day I don't ever want to see you sitting around at the hotel. You have a 20-minute window that ideally you should have preplanned so as to maximize this limited opportunity.

Embrace Dirty Light

Whether shooting outdoors in magic hour or indoors in mixed light, be willing to go with what the light is giving you.

One good way is to look at the scene on daylight (AKA 5600K) white balance. That will give you the camera's view of just how far off from "neutral" the light in the room is.

If you really want to feel that color offset, try underexposing the room a bit on daylight WB, and the colors will appear to get more intense. If you are lighting the room, coincidentally, this is a great way to both saturate your environment and drop its intensity to contrast your soon-to-be artificially lit subject.

Just remember to gel the subject with a color palette that will look appropriate within the color of light in the environment.

Finally, try to learn to resist the urge to "fix" light by neutralizing the color. This is why auto white balance is probably the most soul-sucking setting on your camera. It kills interestingness.

Instead, learn to explore the space between the way your camera sees color and the way your eye sees it.

Tweaking the balance between expressing color the way our cameras see it (clinical and scientific) and the way our eyes see it (partially corrected and psychologically more complex) will give you loads of control over the way your photos ultimately feel.
__________

The Bigger Picture

This color palette from Joker may totally work for you. Or it might not. But if you have seen the film, it is hard to deny how effective the use of color is as a psychological and emotional component of the movie.

Understand that we are strongly affected by the color, intensity, direction and softness of light. And as photographers it is in our best interest to master all of the tools in our box, whether we are merely recording existing light or creating it with our flashes.

If you often use wide-angle and telephoto lenses, you have certainly noticed that distortion can have a lot of impact on your images and it can make them look rather unprofessional. Perspective distortion is prominent especially in images that have many vertical lines or various geometric shapes. Knowing how to correct this type of distortion will make your landscape and architectural shots much more powerful.

It’s quite easy to correct perspective if you edit your images in Lightroom. There are two ways to do this – automatic and manual. We’ll cover both ways to correct perspective distortion in Lightroom and we’ll illustrate them with examples so that you can test them out easily.

Automatic Correction

Automatic correction can solve most of the perspective problems. Use manual correction only if the problem can’t be solved with automatic correction.

1. Open up your image in Lightroom and go to the Develop Module.

2. Scroll down to the Lens Correction Panel and check out the Basic Tab.

3. Before testing out various options for correcting perspective distortion, click on Enable Profile Corrections. This is a very important step because this option will enable Lightroom to read the metadata and guess which lens you used for your shot. In addition to this, Enable Profile Corrections option will automatically remove barrel distortion and vignetting that is typical for wide-angle lenses.

4. Once you have enabled profile corrections, try all the options below (Off / Auto / Level / Vertical / Full) until you find what works best for your image.

Here’s a little bit about what to expect from each of these options:

Auto – This mode offers a balanced mix of aspect ratio and perspective corrections.

Level – In this mode, perspective corrections will be weighted toward horizontal details.

Vertical – Perspective corrections will be weighted toward vertical details.

Full – This mode is a combination of Auto, Level and Vertical perspective corrections, but it can deliver very strange results. It’s usually better to stick with one of the previous options (auto, level or vertical).

In case you're still not happy with the results, you can proceed to manual correction.

Manual Correction

1. In the Lens Corrections Panel click on the Manual Tab. You will see different sliders that allow you to fine-tune your lens perspective correction  – Distortion / Vertical / Horizontal / Rotate / Scale / Aspect.

Distortion – Corrects barrel and pincushion distortion.

Vertical – Corrects keystoning  (distortion of an image caused by projecting it onto an angled surface).

Horizontal – Corrects horizontal keystoning.

Rotate – It rotates the image either clockwise or counterclockwise.

Scale – Enlarges or shrinks the image.

Aspect – It will either squish or stretch the image.

2. You need to experiment and use the combination of these options for the best result. It can be more demanding than automatic correction, but it gives you much more control over various aspects of perspective distortion.

While both automatic and manual correction in Lightroom can help you fix perspective distortion, it’s good to think about perspective while you’re shooting. If you apply certain tips and tricks, less work will be required in post-processing.

For instance, it can be very useful to shoot a little wider because you’ll most probably crop your image in post-production and this can affect the composition in a negative way if your framing was too tight. Also, try to shoot from a higher angle and parallel to your subject – this will automatically minimize distortion.

Prince’s music inspired legions of fans around the world and, apparently, he also mentored and inspired one photographer that is now suing his estate.

For what, exactly?

Copyright infringement and unauthorized use of images according to FStoppers.

But, aside from the somewhat sensational headlines the case is causing, it seems to be quite mundane from a legal standpoint.

The photographer, Madison Dube, established a relationship with Prince back in 2013 when the singer expressed an interest in her work.

He then contracted her on a freelancing basis for photography, videography, and some graphic design work. On top of all of this, she counts him as a mentor and friend.

Her contention is that the estate used her work without her permission and that Prince himself was a strong advocate for artists’ retaining the rights to their original work. She is seeking damages as well as a court order to stop further use of her images.

Text from the lawsuit reads in part: “Ms Dube now brings this action to assert her rights guaranteed under the Copyright Act, and to preserve the integrity of her work, currently being commercialized by defendants and used for mass-marketing, mass-produced sales and advertising, without her consent and contrary to the intent behind the creation of those works.”

Among evidence that Dube has concerning the use of her work are everything from proof that the team at Prince’s estate behind the image infringement knew they were hers to attempted usage negotiations before using them anyway.

What do you think? Sounds like a pretty open and shut case of copyright infringement, right? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

If you're not familiar with iPhone Photography School, they are the preeminent online training for smart phone photography. They are huge and rightfully so.

Take a look at their Black Friday Offer here.

The reason for that is that they go well beyond the technical aspects of which buttons to press – wile of course that is included, they go well beyond that and teach you the fundamental ways that a pro would use to make an smart phone camera really sing.

And let's face it – for most of us, the humble smart phone is where we are taking most of our photos these days. I even find myself perferring some of my iPhone shots over my DSLR shots for some of my personal projects (especially the ones of my kids where it's much easier to shoot with an iPhone).

And while there IS a learning curve, I still maintain that a good photographer with an iPhone will get better shots than a mediocre photographer with the best gear.

Some of my iPhone shots get a lot more praise than my DSLR shots, so it's possible to get some pretty good results… if you know what you're doing.

And that’s what you’re going to learn inside iPhone Photo Academy.

Yes, you’re going to learn all the techniques and apps, but more importantly…

You're Going To Love iPhone Photograph.

You’re going to take photos that are so good you’ll be surprised not that they were taken with the iPhone… but that it was YOU who took these photos.

You’re never going to run out of interesting things to take photos of, because you’ll know how to recognize amazing photo opportunities wherever you go.

And you’re going to have confidence in your iPhone photography.

You’ll be taking photos with the iPhone not because you forgot your big camera at home, but because you'll know how to use your iPhone to predictably get high-quality photos every time you press the shutter.

Almost 60,000 students have taken the iPhone Photography Academy course so far.

And today, it's 90% off.

So take a look at the details now.

Have you heard of Phillip Haumesser?

He’s a photographer who also puts out a lot of information about achieving his style. Take a look at some of his images:

He just put up his Black Friday offer for his collection on how he achieved these amazing results.

That and some of his other work really encapsulates that stylised imagery that is taking off in popularity at the moment. And he lets you look over his shoulder as he puts his own touches to this stunning style.

This is currently at 75% off and I have literally never seen his courses on sale before so I have no idea when they will be again. (In fact, I have been in contact with him for the past month or two trying to get him to do this one, so he can be a tough nut to crack!)

His course lets you watch Phillip as he does his edits. Specifically it covers:

• How to nail and correct the exposure
• How to sharpen the image for faces that pop
• How to reduce noise for better looking shots
• How to direct the viewer’s attention
• How to transform normal images without snow into a Winter Wonderland
• How to add snow even if it wasn’t snowing
• Removing distractions
• How to color correct the image for the look that jumps out of the photo
• How to enhance features and details such as the eyes, and hair for stunning faces
• How to correct the skin tones for a more natural look
• How to achieve the desired overall color profile for the image

If this imagery sticks with you as it does me, then this is a great opportunity to see how a master does it without leaving any secrets out. This is an awesome way to step up your own results.

Get on it here.

You learn by doing, right? Sometimes a combo of reading then doing (like me).

But the key is the practical element.

But what do you practice in photography? There are only so many times you can practice photographing the cat.

What next?

Well that is the conundrum that Photzy solved with their Action Cards.

This set of printable cards each has a specific “exercise” for you to practice photography.

Each card includes:

1. Time & Skills Breakdown -Estimate of time taken to complete, plus the difficulty and key skill points.
2. Summary and Mini-Lesson– Includes a rundown of what this card is about and the key lesson takeaway.
3. Sample Photographs – To give you an idea of what you will be creating and to inspire you.
4. Equipment Needed – Gives you a list of the exact equipment needed to complete the assignments.
5. Tips – Recommended camera settings and other useful tips to give you a perfect starting point.
6. Action Assignments – These are the assignments you'll be doing to complete the card and stretch your skills.
7. Self-Check System – Here, you'll get a series of questions and points to help you assess how you went.

This is about as close as you get to having an instructor offer you exercises to improve your photography as you get without actually hiring a pro.

And, as it’s Black Friday, the Action Cards are currently almost 90% off!

Hey there everyone – so we had a bit of an issue uploading the photo of the week a couple of weeks ago, so we decided to combine the Light Stalking update for you and present a bumper crop of community awesome this week.

So today we bring you a lovely selection – 2 Photos of the Week – one from DavidC and the other from P71 (Pat). Both these images have a moody and mysterious feel, so really a nice complimentary Photo of the Week diptych of sorts.

We will also bring you two weeks of highlights from the Weekend Photography Challenge – first up some beautiful photographs from challenge #460 – black and white and more in #461 – circles, curves and spirals, which funnily enough gave us a lot of stunning, full colour images. Again a fortuitous compliment!

There will also be discussions that you may have missed on the forum and some great posts to the Shark Tank that are looking for your expert critique!

So let's get started…

Photos Of The Week – November 2019

So here are the wonderful photos of the week –  from DavidC and Pat! We were obviously feeling quite enigmatic over the past couple of weeks as these images attest. 

Lochgoilhead – Photo by DavidC

In The Thick Of It – Photo by P71

So here is what Kent DuFault had to say about these wonderful images. And congratulations and thank you so much to David and Pat for sharing these beautiful landscapes. 

Our POTW winner for this week is P71 (Pat) for his mysterious landscape photograph titled, “In the thick of it.”

In my mind, I often compare viewing photography as a similar experience to reading a book.

There are books that you pick up and read them. You get through the book, and you come away feeling that it was ok.

There are books that you start and quickly put down, never pick them up again.

Finally, there are books that, from the first moment you begin reading them, you’re hooked. You can’t put them down. They leave an indelible impression.

Our POTW winner for this week is like one of these fantastic books that hook your imagination and won’t let go.

Tersha (Diane) commented on this photograph, and I think it fits perfectly. She said, “Both good Patrick, but the 1st is special!” (He had posted two pictures. This being the first one.)

She’s right. This picture is captivating. It’s an excellent use of Minimalism. It lets the fire up their imagination.

Also, this week, I want to mention @Davidc. He was poised to be the POTW winner last week. However, I was unable to make the post due to complications with the website. His photograph titled, “Lochgoilhead in the rain” is also an amazing and memorable moment capture. 

Weekend Photography Challenge #460 & #461

Here is our mash-up two weekly challenges, so we hope you're kicking back with an extra-large cup of coffee for this! Here are some great shots from our 460th and 461st Challenges Black and White and Circles, Curves And Spirals:

Photo by P71

This is an eerie shot and quite a find. The shadows make it quite moving and it tells a great story and the way the mannequins alternate between black and white clothes makes the image extremely balanced – what a great capture

Photo by Charmaine Joubert

I simply love the light in this photograph, it enhances the mood and makes the viewer wonder about all the stories inside her eyes. A very beautiful photograph.

Photo by Bruce Gordon

This long exposure feels really silky, but the extra is in the snow covering the rocks making them feel like being made of some sort of polished metal. Due to all the tones, this is a great subject for black and white

Photo by LeanneC

There is something about flowers that make them such wonderful objects to study in a visual way. The choice of black and white here is a brilliant one.

Photo by Gerald Murphy

Black and white enhances the sense of depth in this landscape. It also adds a moody element, you can feel the cold!

Photo by Bobbie

You can feel all the heat coming from this steaming cauldron. What a stunning image from Bobbie. It is wonderful to be able to find visual interest in an everyday item.

Photo by Mistyisle

It is hard to keep it up with the rule of odds in street photography, and Jim has really told a visually pleasing story thanks to it. and in words of John Teate: “this works with the haze and gradual fading of the silhouettes”. It sure does, congratulations Mistyisle on a wonderful image.

Photo by Jasenka Grujin

Jasenka and Antonio do look like statues in this odd angle shot. At first glance, I thought it was a photograph of a statue! The black and white choice here definitely makes the image creative and visually interesting!

Photo by Pat Garrett

Nice details and textures, which really come into relief when in black and white. Honestly, the shot would not be as impactful in color

Photo by Denise Kofkoff

What a find and the muted tones in it makes the scene look even sadder than it is. This image is quite poignant

Photo by Click

Swirls always make compositions better, and this is surely the Queen of the Vortex! Everything in this composition fits perfectly and we love it!

Photo by Dave Watkins

This is the time of the year when everything turns windy and bright. Nice pair of roads mate! Leading lines curving away really makes the viewer want to follow them to the end!

Photo by LeanneC

It appears that we got a bokeh burst here, and the gradient feel it has makes it even more dynamic. This is a stunning image from a master of flower photography

Photo by P71

Patrick is surely nailing light painting techniques and processes! We are really glad to be witnessing this particular evolution. Congratulations Pat on working to master a new skill in photography – this group is great.

Photo by DaveGillespie

Line, circle and spiral indeed. The way the colours show themselves in such an imperfect way makes this shot very interesting. Also, the complementary colours help to make it more noticeable too. Great composition!

Photo by Robert Apple

Hey you, tiny sprouting spiral! Nature loves her spirals!

Photo by Leesa

Nature is a true master when it comes to spirals, it will always deliver the most fascinating figures, we just need to keep our eyes open to see them.

Photo by Tersha

Nice and clean swirl, this lovely abstract really makes you wonder what it might be.

Photo by Kent DuFault

This is such a clean photograph, this first snow of the season almost looks surreal.

Photo by John Teate

We are sure that such a lovely composition wasn't easy to achieve. An amazing curve and lovely contrasting colors really make it pop. Thanks, John and Nature!

Photo by ElinL

The rule of odds is a nice technique when isolating objects or subjects and still keeping that “group unity” feel. This is great composition and beautiful light – all around a great photo!

Here Are Some Discussions And Images From The Forum

Elin shared a very interesting link depicting some strong images and strong stories from army veterans that participated in a three-month photography workshop as a healing process.

David went into a light painting workshop:

Patrick shared a pretty funny dolly or doodle, or you name it!

Charmaine shared this beautiful lion she photographed back in 2017:

It is awesome when Light Stalkers get to meet with each other, especially when it is for the first time! Jasenka and Erik met last week at Amsterdam, and they had a great time. 

Beth stumbled into some pretty territorial sheep, she left before they became carnivorous, but not before she shot this beautiful photo of them:

Dave Watkins was inspired last week, and made this nice tribute to Alfred Hitchcock:

Dave shared this lovely snapshot that means a lot to him!

Patrick did a very clean and symmetrical experiment with a nice and bright orange light – this is awesome:

What about some nice photos from the streets at Wyoming? Not my joke, Robert is the genius here.

Paul shared this candid shot with us:

Oh, and the issue with posting images to the forum was because the maker of our forum software updated it after 6 years…
