A slice of time
Often a photograph will have amazing resolution and perfect focus but will still fails to accurately represent the art in the artists mind. This is because art is viewed over time, from different angles and seen in different light and different times of the day . Photography is about capturing a very specific moment and freezing it. We can only ever hope to document one moment, one light and at one time. That is the limitation ( and challenge) of photography.
This is a 150mm drawing and shot on a modern Leica camera and lens. The resolution of this macro lens is 1:1 which allows incredible detail for small work.
Sometimes you get lucky…
Kandinsky shot in ACMI in Melbourne during an exhibition.
Shot with galley lighting, hand held camera and from one sneaky shot.
I ended up with a 3000px image after I had corrected it for distortion and straightness.
