andy_piper2 Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 "..The first thing that I tried to do when I picked up the digital camera was to simplify it. In other words, there are God-knows-how-many combinations on that digital camera. I immediately reduced it down to two or three things that I saw would work really well. I light-balanced it out. I put it in one mode, and I just stayed there." Bingo! (and thanks, Ken) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_r._fulton_jr. Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 The Nikon D100 ad that he shot (the little girl in the church with light coming in from the right) -- he shot it on the D100 with the 28 f1.4 lens. This from the Nikon website. (FWIW if you're interested in--perhaps--how he's simplified things.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-bug Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 John, do you have a link for the D100 ad? I couldn't find it on the Nikon USA site. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dawn Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Hi the easiest way to simulate shooting slide film (which DAH does almost exclusively) with a digital camera, esp one like the D100 digital SLR, is to set it to manual mode, and set white balance to Sunny, since most slide films are daylight balanced (velvia, provia, E100VS etc) anyway! Viola, u're back to doing things manually - setting ISO, aperture, shutter speeds urself. Except now there's the advantage of setting ISO on the fly depending on the situation you find yourself in. that's why i never understood the complaints of some forum members who thinks digicams / modern film SLRs are too complicated etc. They may have many controls, but most can be turned off or ignored. Esp so for digital SLRs / SLRs. Humans are very adaptable - we just need to change our mindset sometimes :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incitatus_rex Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Great photos, seems like all are taken with a 35mm with some use of a flash (e.g., the nightclub ones). You can find many more <a href=http://www.magnumphotos.com/c/htm/TreePf_MAG.aspx?E=29YL53UIA@O>here</a>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_sharratt Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Thanks for the link. In November I saw the Divided Soul show at the Leica Gallery in New York and a few weeks later attended his lecture at National Geographic. I invited several friends to the lecture at NG (even before seeing the show in NY) b/c they work in public health concentrating in South America. In short, they loved his work, thought he was one of the most impressive speakers, photographer or otherwise, and came away with a great experience. My wife who fully supports all my photo endeavors said I should take a workshop with him based on not only his work but his honest excitement in photography and openness in communicating about it. If the opportunity to hear DAH lecture presents itself definitely go. I'd certainly like to take a workshop with him in Cuba if the travel restrictions for Americans are eased. Otherwise it might be that we head to Italy (with hopefully a then 3-4month baby)in the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsparkes Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 I was looking through his portraits portfolio at Magnum, and I really liked the fill flash at twilight effect. The yellow highlight on the face against the darker sky looks amazing. Check out numbers 3 and 9 in the <a href="http://www.magnumphotos.com/c/htm/TreePf_MAG.aspx?ID=HAD">portrait portfolio</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_r._fulton_jr. Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 >>>Ken Geter , jan 06, 2004; 06:20 p.m. John, do you have a link for the D100 ad? I couldn't find it on the Nikon USA site. Thanks.<<< Ken--talk about unhelpful.........sorry, but I can't find it either. The ad ran in USA photo mags in summer, perhaps early fall. It had to do with Nikon's series on 'light' and how to capture it. The print ad had a weblink. At the time it occurred to me it was a weird link. I have a call into a rep at Nikon to see if they know what it is. I can't find the print ad now either. AS I said---talk about unhelpful. I'll post a link if I can find it.

andrew_lee2 Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Why, the photo in question is right underneath our noses with the link Jeff Sparkes provided: <p> <a href="http://www.magnumphotos.com/c/htm/CDocZ_MAG.aspx?o=&DT=ALB&E=2K7O3R31FNDX&Pass=&Total=6&Pic=6&SubE=2K7O3RJKXOU8" >link</a> <p> It's also in the latest issue of Aperture. <p> Nice guy, BTW---I had the pleasure of meeting him at an exhibition opening.
