More ways to make movies without a movie camera

 I’m actually not a huge fan of the current social media offering. However they can be a great way to interact with others and in fact find a wider audience for your works. From my involvement in the Watercolour Society of Victoria. I have discovered what really counts is a sense of community, knowing and caring about others. Following what they are creating or struggling with.

An interesting video with a few good pictures and relevant story are sure to make a good impression. They are highly likely to stop the viewer scrolling through static thumbnails and endless selfies.

So I hope this little set of examples inspires you to create a video about yourself art making and showing your art.

Chasing Cleaner Colours

Something I have noticed looking at re-procesing some older digital images (a lot just jpeg versions) was the "greying" of colours and often loss of contrast compared with what I am used to these days. Some of the issue has to do with better equipment, not just the cameras but also better (and calibrated) monitors and printer, but a lot comes from the capture of RAW formats. Also I have moved from mainly processing in lightroom (which tends to render RAW images "flat") onto using On1 Photo RAW, Aurora & Lunminar which render with slightly higher dynamic range, and now higher colour depth.
