Google Glass photography will change everything

Google Glass photography will change everything | Mobile Photography | Scoop.it

"It’s hard to remember now, but back in the 1990s taking a decent picture required skill. Only dedicated hobbyists or professionals reliably produced images worth looking at. Now there are several phones with cameras that take pictures almost perfectly most of the time, even when used by amateurs.


But after looking at the Google Glass photos of Trey Ratcliff, a New Zealand-based travel photographer, you might be convinced that Glass could revolutionize photography just as thoroughly as smartphones have."

Interesting Content's insight:

If you ever thought Google glass photography was impossible, you're in for a surprise. In fact, these recently released images show just how powerful the Google glass camera is.

It seems the world of photography changes at an extremely rapid pace. First, there was the disposable camera, then came digital camera, then the smartphone, and now glasses.

Giles Price: what makes a good photograph? - Telegraph

Giles Price: what makes a good photograph? - Telegraph | Mobile Photography | Scoop.it

"Photography, if you want to be scientific or academic about it, is the fetishisation or freezing of a moment in time. But aside from the technical - the camera, kit, etc - what makes a particular photograph interesting depends on what you and your viewer’s interests are.


We might as well state the obvious at this point: it’s entirely subjective and down to how you view the world, what truths you think apply to it, and what fascinates you. If you like cats and cars (and, goodness, so many people do) then the cuter the cat, the sleeker the car, the better the photograph. To you, at least."

Interesting Content's insight:

What makes a good photograph? That's a question that has been the source of debate among several photographers for decades. After all, is there such a thing as a good photograph?

The Telegraph had a feature article today about this topic and I think its the best attempt at answering some of these questions. The article suggests that all photographs are inherently "good photographs" because each photo has an ability to evoke an emotional response in an individual. In other words, all photos are good because they have some sort of personal value either to the photographer or the people in the photo. Finally, the article closes by describing a good photo as any photo that forces you to "look at the world differently" - even if the photo is of something ordinary.
