FIRST WORDS /

Moshe Levis

Since the entire future of NOTINDOOR is more important than one or two issues we had to focus on creating a Kickstarter campaign as one of the ways we’re hoping to fund the magazine. We have put all of our efforts in making sure we created the best kickstarter campaign we could. It includes amazing rewards from well known brands and photographers, including a photography course by Karl Taylor, Smugmug accounts, a gallery show by one of LA’s top curators, Hayley Marie Colston and more.

Why? Because, let’s face it $4.99 per year for a Platinum membership is a “no brainer” according to our readers and we care about providing you and helping you. You can research and see that our subscription plan offers the most and costs the least.

Cutting the Cost

of Your Photography

Photography can get expensive, very expensive. After a quick amazon search, the most expensive camera I could find was almost $5,000! This is quite a bit of money. Then when adding lenses, bags, tripods and everything you need and want, you can be looking at tens of thousands of dollars worth of gear.

This doesn’t include travel costs, parking fees and software to edit your photos. As you can see, this can all add up very fast.

So let’s look at some ways to cut and crop the costs of photography.

by Indiana Lang

probably is. If you are buying in person, always test the gear to make sure everything works before you buy it. Nothing worse then spending a few hundred bucks on gear that doesn’t work correctly.

The third tip is selling your old gear for cash. It’s an easy way to recoup additional funds so you can buy whatever else it is you may need. Amazon and eBay are great online methods to resell your gear, pawn shops are convenient but won’t offer you the best prices like online stores will, however they are faster and easier. You may be able to recoup up to 80% or more of your initial cost for your own gear. Plus, it gets rid of that extra clutter you may have laying around, and by doing so you may be able to help people who can’t afford better gear to get into photography. Another option is donating your old gear, don’t skip an opportunity to make another photographer’s day by donating.

First off, I recommend planning for the types of photos you are going to take. Don’t buy a waterproof camera if you never actually plan on taking photos underwater or are even near water during your shoots. Know the style of photography you want to make, then only buy the gear you need for it. It’s very important to not get caught up in hype of what everyone else is buying, focus only on what you need. Do your research as to exactly which types of lenses you will need for the type of photos you are trying to take. It’s not a bad idea to have extra lenses, but that one extra fisheye lenses sitting in your camera bag that never gets used isn’t doing you any good.

A second great tip for cutting costs is buying lightly used gear.

It’s another great way to save money on photography while still getting the photos you want. You don’t always need the latest and the greatest of everything. Great photos can still be taken on a $500 camera as well as a $5000 one. Look for a camera that you want new, and see if you find another one like it and make it your goal to find one used. Good places to start your search for used gear are eBay and Amazon. You will find many great deals and an abundance of used gear to choose from. If you’re feeling a bit daring, you can try pawn shops. I’ve gotten some great deals and quality gear from places like these, but remember to always exercise caution when buying online and in some stores. If it’s too good to be true, it 22 NOTINDOOR

Lastly, always respect your gear. Although accidents do happen, it’s always in your best interest to be as careful as possible with your gear so as to get the most bang for buck from it.

Don’t be rough or drop it. You want your gear in top shape so your photos can be too. Protecting your gear is key, think of

RAW Versus JPEG

by Pedro Quintela

What’s the Difference?

I clearly remember a moment when I first started shooting, during a photowalk, where a person in the group mentioned another type of file that cameras could store images in, but that could only be opened by specific programs. “What a waste of time,” I thought to myself.

Nevertheless, I started searching for information and became aware of this new file, named RAW, and its importance to high quality photos.

But why is it so important?

What makes it better than what we already have? Well, there are many reasons RAW is better for your images, but they all trail back to the same basic principle; why spend so much money on gear and then not take full advantage of all it has to offer?

What Exactly is this Raw Thing?

What About JPEG?

24 NOTINDOOR

To start, imagine RAW files as something like a negative in the old film photography days. They record the pixel information as it was captured by the camera’s sensor, completely untouched. That’s why the file type is also known as a “digital negative.” The images are stored, uncompressed, which allows for greater ma-

nipulation in post-processing.

Not to mention it is a way for a photographer to prove a certain image is truly, and entirely theirs.

pressed image files to as low as 1/10th of the original file size, while still maintaining decent quality. Essentially, you’re storing a huge amount of data within a small file The JPEG file extension is size, but there’s a catch. Every an acronym for Joint Photime you transfer or re-save tographic Experts Group.

I was more than 3000 miles away from Yosemite National Park, in New England to be exact. Someone asked me where my favorite place to shoot was. Without thinking for more than a fraction of a second, I answered, “Yosemite!”

A nice four hour drive from urbanized, hasty life of San Francisco puts you in the serene wilderness of Yosemite. The National Parks have been coined as “America’s Best Idea” by many, including Ken Burns in his series on National Parks of America.

Seeds of the conservation of wilderness and of national parks was sown in Yosemite.

Magnificent Yosemite Valley intrigued many explorers and conversationalists, but very few were as intrigued as John Muir. Their relentless efforts caused the U.S. Congress to pass the National Parks bill, paving the path for world’s first National Park System.

I lost the count of how many times I have been to Yosemite, but I can surely tell that there is no bad day to visit. It

displays different shades of beauty every hour, day and season.

Yosemite is home to the most famous walls like Half Dome and El Capitan. It is also home to splendid waterfalls like Yosemite Falls and Vernal Falls. You will surely feel why John Muir called the Sierra Nevada’s ‘’the range of light.”

Visit in spring and you will find waterfalls gushing in full force in a lush green valley! Lush green meadows and trees at the backdrop of Upper Yosemite fall. It was a windy and cloudy day during late spring. Probably not a great day for photography, by usual standards, but this is Yosemite! You have to try really hard to get a bad photo here. On a cloudy but bright day, it feels like a waterfall is falling directly from sky.

Tunnel view is another classic sight of Yosemite. Stand there soaking views of El Capitan, Bridalveil Falls and Half Dome.

If you can get to tunnel view early in the morning, preferably before sunrise, you can see the sun coming up from behind Half Dome. Tunnel view has its own charm at sunset. The setting sun illuminates Bridalveil Falls and the mountains above in spring and El Capitan in the fall. During my countless shooting excursions at Tunnel Overlook, I always had wistful longing for taking the photo of landscape illuminated with vibrant orange light.

And here my wish comes true. What a blissful moment it was to see this kind of light.

Capture it well and remember John Muir’s words, “It seemed to me that the Sierra should be called, not the Nevada or Snowy Range, but the Range of Light.” (Spring Tunnel View - Previous page) Snow covered Yosemite feels so tranquil that you naturally go into Ansel Adams mode!

Non iconic sites in Yosemite also give photographers ample opportunities to make equally gorgeous photographs.

You can call it ‘foolish’ but it is my firm belief that if there

Getting Lost

by Natasha Elvianty

in Bali

Hearing the word Bali will lead your imagination to a land of paradise. Once visited, that paradise becomes a place you want to go back to again and again. Bali is a land of a thousand temples, just as many beaches, and forest for as far as the eye can see. The friendliness of locals sharing their traditional dances and ceremonies, coupled with the sleepless nightlife in the Kuta region provide something for everyone to enjoy.

For the landscape photographer, there is a constant need to capture the beauty of nature. To get the perfect moment at sunrise or sunset, the photographer must be willing to travel to specific locations and scout them in person. This may mean multiple instances of mountain climbing, river crossing and forest exploration in the day or night, all to achieve the perfect image.

The following is a breakdown of the best locations in Bali to get the shots you want, during sunrise and sunset.

1. Mount Batur

Being an active volcano poses a distinct set of risks. However, those brave enough, and fit enough to make the two hour hike to the summit will be rewarded with a breathtaking view.

Mount Batur is located in the Kintamani District and is considered one of the island’s sacred mountains. It can get rather crowded on weekends, so you most likely won’t be making the hike alone. You should use tour guides and follow safety procedures during the ascent. It is best to be there for the sunrise as it appears around 6:00am.

2. Karang Beach

Karang Beach is located in Sanur, one of the famous tourist destinations in Bali. This beach has a amazing panoramic view and is one of the most visited places by photographers.

You’ll see beautiful reflections of the sunrise, a lot of boats, the fishermen they carry, and beachgoers all in the same place. This can make for a beautiful morning of photography!

3. Lovina Beach

Lovina is a quiet coastal town on the North Bali coastline west of the city of Singaraja. The city is known as Bali’s favorite holiday destination. The beach is also very well known for enjoying the sunrise and if you’re lucky, you can see dolphins swimming just off the coast. The place gets crowded at sundown when both locals and foreigners come down to the beach for ‘happy hour’.

4. Amed Beach

Amed Beach in the Karangasem regency of the island is renowned for having the best diving locations in Bali. Here you 44 NOTINDOOR

+ Gunung Batur | f/10 | 120 sec | ISO 50 | 16 mm - by Komang Pramana

can also get a beautiful view at sunrise and sunset with amazing views of the seabed.

5. Nusa Dua Beach

Nusa Dua Beach located in the southern region of Bali and is a good spot to see the natural beauty of the sunrise. There are several points where wave breaks on the beach can make the background of your photo look more beautiful.

If evening photography is more your style, the following are locations that will fulfill your need.

1. Tanah Lot Temple

Tanah Lot Temple located in Tabanan district is a very well known tourism destination and one of the best spots in Bali to enjoy the sunset. The uniqueness of this place is rooted in a temple built on a massive coral rock. The temple is still in use by Hindus in Bali to prey.

2. Uluwatu Temple

Uluwatu Temple one of the famous tourist attraction in Bali with a unique location on the edge of a high cliff with a view of the southern ocean expanse. In addition to being a tourist attraction, the outer region of the temple host regional Kecak dance performances. It is from this point that sunset is best seen in Uluwatu, because it combines the Kecak dance performances with the sunset in the background. Your camera will love it!

+ Sunset Tegal Aangi Beach | f/7.1 | 127 sec | ISO 50 | 17 mm - by Komang Pramana

3. Melasti Beach

Melasti Beach located in Ungasan, south Kuta. One of the most beautiful white sand beaches on the southern coast of Bali but often overlooked by tourists. Usually, photographers who visit here capture the beauty of the rock formations and limestone walls that adorn winding roads and reach as high as 100-150 meters tall. You can enjoy the beauty of the sunset from the top of the cliff here, of course with your beloved camera.

4. Honeymoon Beach

+ Sunset Blimbing Rice Field | f/22 | 2 sec | ISO 50 | 16 mm - by Komang Pramana

This is one of the hidden beaches of Bali, and is located 500 meters before arriving to Tegal Wangi Beach in Jimbaran. You take the road downhill and walk about 800 meters through the winding dirt road.

To get to this beach you’ll need extra power but you will be enchanted by the beauty of the sunset here! You can walking along the white sand beaches, or coral caves located between cliffs.

5. Melasti Beach

This beach can be reached with a 15-minute walk from the famous tourist area of Tanah Lot in Tabanan district. You will find a small waterfall flowing over a cliff here but the phenomenon of this waterfall is seasonal. During the dry season you will not be able to see it. So, a great time to visit is around the end and beginning of the year. You can take a picture of the sunset, the sea, the coast, coral reef and waterfall of a cliff 45

Light as a

by Steven Servantez

As a photographer, I am always looking for ways to push myself and pursue subject matter that is challenging. I believe all of us have some of these traits and that is what makes us better photographers. My interest in avian photography leads me down many paths and subsequently made me branch off into other avenues related to birds.

Recently, I became interested in feathers. This may not seem like an interesting subject, but by forcing me to narrow my subject matter to feathers, I learned many new things.

Many Greek “Hits”. But he lives alone with no money and no fame because the music industry never mentioned his name in the songs.

They took them from him and put in another signature.

Attendants will be taught how to use these advantages to create engaging photos, along with specifics about gear needed and methods of utilizing it.

Date and Time: November 12th, 1:00pm - 2:30pm Location: 431 S. Fairfax Ave, Los Angeles, 90036 Cost: Free Real/Ideal: Photography in France, 1847–1860 Spanning the very early years following the invention of photography, Real/Ideal examines both the early processes of photography and the social implications the artform had.

From the event page on the Getty Center website: “ As a medium capable of unprecedented veracity, did photography simply record the real world, or could it express an aesthetic vision or ideal? Inspired by writers and painters, photographers began to focus on real people, places, and things as subjects (rather than academic, mythical, or biblical ones), as they explored new technological possibilities.” The exhibit will be continuously running until November 27th.

Date and Time: Until November 27th, 10:30 am - 5:30 pm, Tuesday - Sunday

Opening Reception for Los Angeles: Detailed

Location: 1200 Getty Center Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90049 Cost: Free

Los Angeles is a city constantly changing. An influx of cultures, people and traffic jams have contributed to the city being one of the most diverse and exciting locations in the world. On November 15th, at the Annenberg Community Beach House in Santa Monica, the opening of the exhibit Los Angeles: Detailed is aimed to shed light on the morphing metropolis. A conglomeration of work from nine photographers - both natives and non-natives - the photos on display accentuate different elements of the city. From portraits of important landmarks, to more abstract views of everyday situations.

The goal of the exhibit is to establish a “connection between the details in the photographer’s mind and the details of the unique landscape that is Los Angeles.”

Date and Time: November 15th, 6:30pm - 8:30pm Location: 415 Pacific Coast Hwy, Santa Monica, 90402 Cost: Free
