European nature photographer award

[Bjørn Rørslett]

I looked through the bird section and found nothing special there. A high-key image broke the monotony though.

Yep... in an nebulous way, I wonder about proportion of an image recorded in the camera vs the post processing at your computer.  Say if post = 85% of an image, one might just call the final product an MTO (Mixed Technology Offering). 

[Bjørn Rørslett]

If that were so, photography since its inception has been all about "MTO". Digital just continues the norm within a modern setting.

Is any photograph "objective" in the strictest sense? Is there a universal truth and just a single manner in which to record it ??

[Woodley Willie]

Agreed...no photograph is objective.  If I take a photo of a squirrel, I cannot later produce a squirrel from it, much as I might like to.
The arts are not the place to find a universal truth, just a place where you might find something more real than what actually is...

Here is one program with him: https://tv.nrk.no/serie/ut-i-naturen/DNPR65008515/23-08-2016
I think it can be entertaining also for those that do not understand norwegian.

I watched the first 20 minutes and I am flabbergasted by the images on display.
The underwater shots with Aurora Borealis and the fishing shots have just left me speechless.
The guy is amazing!!!

Amazing (I cant spell fenominal)

Google is better than a spelling checker unless your name is "Yahere".

Dave who once wasted 15 minutes struggling to find the correct spelling for cupboard. Cupboard: a board with wooden pegs pressed into it for holding cups (contraction of cup board).

With slides and digital, I make my pictures in the camera in the field. Sending film to the lab, and finish digitals on the computer has never been anything more than finishing the job for me.

With b&w film, I made my pictures in the darkroom, aren't they photographs? Actually I felt myself more as an photographer than anytime else when I was making pictures in the darkroom. The work with the camera in the field was only a starting point for the work in the darkroom.
