Ways to Tackle a New Language by winkton_b

In the past, only very purposeful and industrious people were able to learn a language perfectly. However, they could compete with a Cambridge graduate, in terms of their Grammar. Without doubt, they had high compensation for their work. The profession of a teacher of foreign languages and of an interpreter was very popular. Today, you need: diligence, big efforts and regular practice to hold such kind of position. Definitely there is something "revolutionary" that the foreign language became available for the majority of people.   M...

It's amazing how much effect bad and good luck can have on this art and craft of outdoor photography.  Obviously,  if you don't play the game,  luck is not a factor, but if you do, it can mean everything.  I admit to being a little superstitious about my own work.  Things seem sometimes to go in cycles.   For example,  most of the images that formed the core "signature" series  of the Tom Till Gallery were shot in the year before the Gallery opened, when I seemed to have magnificent luck getting one good image aft...

I apologize for not getting to blog as often as I should lately. I have been in the field almost continually since April, and am writing this in South Africa after taking a break from 20 days of continuous  shooting.  My fall schedule doesn't look much easier with two more overseas trips and five workshops. I'm hoping to make January a vacation month, but we'll see.  With most of my friends retired, it seems I just have to work more, but I'm not complaining. My total days in the field this year will be over 250,  the same number I commonly worke...
Seal Rock at sunset Landscape Photography History by Tom Till by TomTill

I was honored to be one of four "master" landscape photographers to discuss landscape photography in the 2009 Landscape issue of Outdoor Photographer Magazine.  My full comments were edited to a small article.   This document is the full text of what I said.  If you've seen the article there's a lot more here, if not this is the whole deal.   I strongly feel that modern day landscape photographers, especially the younger ones, know little and could are less about the tradition and history of our art form.  It's like young painte...

Most of the month of May found me teaching photography as a U.S. State Department Speaker in Vladivostok, Russia. The many Master Classes and other programs I gave there were in conjunction with the Russian Federation opening of my touring exhibit of UNESCO World Heritage Site exhibit.  I want to thank the Vladivostok Mission for inviting me, and specifically Bridget Gersten, one of the officers there, who was the guiding force behind my trip.     I also visited the Kamchatka Pennisula, home to some of the world's most spectacular volcanoes, bu...
Coastal patterns near Atlantic City, Edwin B. Forsthye National Wildlife Reserve, New Jersey " SUCCESS WITH LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY " - Presentation to the Moab Photo Symposium 2009 by TomTill

"Success with Landscape Photography means creating images that celebrate the natural world, please you, and get better over time.  Having fun and scratching your creative itch are the prime motivators."   With that in mind, here are some points to ponder.  Some of recommendations might contradict each other, I'll admit that from the start.  It's a complex subject and there many ways to approach a working strategy.  I find myself changing horses in mid-stream all the time.  I recently read that George Harrison said, " I don't thin...

I've really no excuse for the time lag between my last blog and this one except that I've been a good boy and I've been spending time with my son who is home from college and doing a lot of shooting. As I've mentioned in previous blogs, digital photography has been a fantastic inspiration to me, and at this stage in most people's lives, when ending work seems to take center stage (at least it has for many of my friends), digital photography has had the opposite effect on me. I can't wait to get in the field and work. The added benefit of all this recreation disg...
