On color & tone in photography
Цитата себе на память с www.kenrockwell.com:
Ask anyone with an MFA (Master of Fine Art) degree or even a couple of basic painting and drawing classes, and they'll tell you the two most critical technical aspects of any image are tone (light, dark and contrast) and then color.
These are critical to every image. If you can't get these right, you may as well forget it.
If you want to impress people in some camera club, or some vacuous online forum, then go ahead and worry about noise, resolution and sharpness. If you want to create and sell images that move people and the world, and get you a show at MoMA, The Frick or The Whitney, you need to worry more about color and tone.
