grams. “Taking the photo is just the first step to creating a

good image,” he says. With his iPhone, he uses Waterlogue

and other apps.

Harold had wonderful shots taken under piers, in abandoned

buildings, showing car lights (10-to 30-second exposures), of

Grace Cathedral, of Yosemite, and of the moon. He also sug-

gested we experiment with focus when photographing people

and move the camera up and down at 1/3-second exposure

when shooting trees, for example.

When making a plan for travel, we should: a) research, b)

talk to people, c) have adventures! Photography works best

when you are with other photographers (they are understand-

ing and patient) or alone (no other photographers to get in the

way!) He also says “be there now” (never say “I can shoot

this tomorrow” because you probably can’t).

Harold had two other commandments: a) If someone with a

weapon tells you to stop, stop! and b) If a snake is around

your tripod’s legs when you are taking pictures, stand still!

Old school phone

with new-fangled features

By Les Goldberg, APR, Contributing Writer

Is your house phone an inconvenience?

Do your aging eyes have trouble with

small numbers and hard-to-read screens?

Are your grandkids asking you what that

"thing" is in your kitchen? If you an-

swered yes to these questions, then you should consider re-

placing your clunky old phone for the new CareLine home

safety telephone system from VTech, Inc.

Designed with experts in aging and technology, the afford-

able and easy-to-use CareLine system incorporates features

to meet seniors' daily communication needs, including large

displays, reminder capabilities, volume boost and a wearable

pendant with one-button dialing that directly calls people that

seniors communicate with most.

CareLine is designed to support the need to stay connected,

linking you with the people you can trust to help you age in

place independently.

The three-piece CareLine SN6197 system includes a full-

featured corded phone as the base unit, a cordless handset

and a wearable pendant, each designed for optimal usability

if you happen to be struggling with hearing, dexterity or vi-

sion. The system's large displays and buttons, audio assis-

tance and a reminder capability accommodate these chal-

lenges.

Canon and, surprise! included many iPhone images in the

presentation.

In fact, Harold is enamored of the iPhone camera, which is

light and always with him. He does not employ additional

lenses on the iPhone and, recognizing the noise limitations

of the small sensor and lack of optical zoom, rarely crops

the image, preferring instead to compose the picture care-

fully.

Basically, Harold said, a memorable travel photo means

putting yourself in front of interesting things. Although

scenery and buildings usually comprise the typical travel

album contents, Harold also looks for local events and tries

to ensure that he is in the right place at the right time (see

The Photographer Ephemerous at TPE.com).

He recommends careful selection of interesting places to

stay if you are in foreign lands. Ask yourself: does the hotel

or B&B have a great view? Harold prefers, if practical, to

stay in quiet places away from the madding crowds.

Many of Harold’s images included people, and a mainstay

of his approach to travel photography is to talk to the locals

to gather ideas about what might constitute an interesting

picture.

He usually seeks permission to take close-up images and,

depending on factors such as poverty in the area, he may

offer financial compensation. Generally, photographers

don’t need to seek a release in the U.S. for pictures taken on

the streets, but you can ask for permission if you feel nerv-

ous about it.

One of Harold’s commandments is to “look for the light!”

While this light includes early morning (dawn) and late

afternoon (dusk), it can also include the illumination pro-

vided in shadow areas in and around buildings and trees.

Looking for the light also means looking for reflections,

details, and abstractions.

To produce the best exposure Harold uses bracketed expo-

sures/HDR (High Dynamic Range), where he, as a profes-

sional, usually has 7 to 10 blends, with +/- 1-stop (1EV)

bracket for each shutter speed. He never brackets when

shooting pictures of people. The iPhone’s HDR capability,

with two-shot bracketing, is not good.

Night shots, where movement of the Earth relative to stars

creates circles (looking north in the northern hemisphere) or

ellipses (not looking precisely north) require long (3 hours,

60 x 4 minute exposures), 1/40 sec at ISO 1200; while a

waterfall example required a 7-minute exposure with a 10x

neutral filter.

Many of Harold’s images were B&W, where he used Nik’s

Silver Efex Pro to post-process them. In fact, Harold post-

processes all of his images using Photoshop and, as re-

quired, Nik, and Topaz, along with other specialty pro-
