@JamesPotterAboutArt5 жыл бұрын
His first camera was a Leica i. The camera you showed is a Leica iii, much later and more advanced than his Leica i. The Leica i did not have a coupled rangefinder and you had to guess the distance that your subject was away from you to focus the camera, you then dial that guessed distance on the lens itself. He took most of his great pictures on his Leica i before he moved onto the Leica ii iii and M3.

H.C-B was my greatest inspiration, I've a small, white Aperture book on him. Then over a decade later I acquired a much bigger Thames & Hudson publication and finally his book entitled 'the man, the image, the world' My in-depth research on him revealed his camera to be a 1953 Leica rangefinder, vision through the viewfinder rather than an SLR, through the lens. With a cloth film plane shutter, rather than your noisy retractable mirror. Then I waited a month of our Weekly Trading Post, till that model 1953 rangefinder Leica turned up, it was worth the $850-. Being quiet was advantageous with portraits, as it was the most discrete camera. Superior to my four prior Nikons, starting with a pre loved Nikkormat Ftn I'd acquired in '69. Lastly prior to that quintessential Leica, a Nikon FE2 ! Toeknee Chestnut

As a republican Englishman I have to say that’s one of the best commentaries on HCB I heard. My favourite image is the little boy with the two bottles and the look of pride on his face, I've never seen an image that tells the story that one does. It may be because I’m of a generation where I could identify with the boy. I noticed on one of the images there was the Magnum logo and the image was 11 years older than the agency is. There’s no doubt about Capa's skills, but was the subject of his most famous image falling? Waving his comrades on? Or shot just at that moment. Although Capa did die through walking on a land mine in Vietnam, it wasn’t the Vietnam war we all know but the French Vietnam war. A massive sweeping statement, but I think you have to appreciate how good HCB was to full appreciate and understand Photography. It was when HCB was at Cambridge in the late 1920s that he first realised what great subjects the English make mainly because of their eccentricities. He always used Ilford HP5 (not plus) which the modern version the HP5 plus is my favourite film, I also use it in a rangefinder so does that make me as good as HCB?

The School of Photography One quick question, the camera on your t shirt has the shape of a FED5 but the layout of one of the obscure Leicas like the M246 (I only remember it because it’s easy), which is it? Please don’t disappoint me and say it’s a M9.

The way you become a good photographer is you dont just watch these videos and do exactly astold or what they do, you experiment, you try it yourself, you mess around with the lightings and colors and other settings and you take the time, boom you get good stuff. Also dont always do like the wild nature landscapes, snow caps, glaciers, deseert, african jungle animals stuff like most people do, its gods gift of nature, not your talent if you get a spectacular image of the dust in desert or creatures, just go try yourself some pretty images of unique views in urban life, or even your home, the view out the window, the balcony, standing on top of roof, a street, neon signs, a river, etc

Very nice and concise story on the life and work of HCB. One comment, though, to set history straight, Robert Capa died after stepping on land mine in 1954 while covering for Life Magazine the First Indo-China War (better known as "Indo-China War" against the French) and not not during the Second Indo-China Was (better known as "Vietnam War" against the Americans).

The truth is if I would have taken this photo at 15.20 Alberto Giacometti, it would have been crap, slated because of the tree in the foreground (and you know it), subject in centre of the frame etc etc. But because it was taken by Bresson its genius, its not genius its an average photo, people have told you it is and you believe it, you won't question it because your worried that your piers will say
@MrMartinslaАй бұрын
I just wonder the fact that he basically had nothing to do with the work apart from taking the picture that's now being presented to us. Are we sure it's what he visualised regarding the final product. I read somewhere he never ever looked at his negatives which kind of detracts from his status. Great images no doubt.
