Via @thesarahmeister: Seventy-four years ago this jolly group of photographers – including Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, and Nancy and Beaumont Newhall – gathered in Aspen to address such critical questions as “The nature of photographic truth,” “Can photographs help achieve social progress?” and “Who makes the picture, photographer or subject?” One of the most tangible outcomes of this conference was Aperture, which was established as a quarterly magazine in 1952 with Minor White (another Aspen participant) as its founding editor. Earlier this month Alex Hedison, Michael Famighetti and I had the pleasure of leading a roundtable conversation about this conference at the Aspen Ideas Festival, enlivened by the participation of Tyler Mitchell, Sarah Lewis, and many others. On the walls around us were photographs made by the 1951 participants, including Ansel Adams’ Maroon Bells. One of Dorothea Lange’s photographs made at the conference graced the first cover of Aperture magazine. Bob Bishop made the first image here of the 1951 participants in the lobby of the Hotel Jerome, and many others you can find on Rupert Jenkins’ Colorado Photo History Blog. #aspenideas #photography #aspen @sarahelizabethlewis1 @tylersphotos @alexhedisonstudio @michaelfamighetti @aspenideas @aperturefnd @hoteljeromeauberge @coloradophotohistory

A monochromatic color palette with deep ocean blues to help you elevate your nature images! Discover @lealguard’s master palette below and share your artwork using #ColorProWithMe to enter this month’s #WorkInProgress contest for a chance to win the ColorPro VP2776T-4K monitor! 📸🎨 @lealguard: “According to research, blue is the most frequently associated color with trust (35%), harmony (27%), friendship (25%), and sympathy (25%). It is also the color of relaxation (28%), as blue is a passive hue and the most calming of all colors. The fact that blue is considered a color of trust has much to do with its darker shade: navy blue, which is named after the British Royal Navy uniforms. Over time, it became a symbol of loyalty and integrity, widely used in corporate identities. Close to black, navy blue can evoke detachment and melancholy. Think “feeling blue” or “Blue Monday.” Yet it also holds elegance, authority, and quiet power, without black’s dramatic weight. Mysterious, but not sinister. That’s why I chose it to color grade the first image in my series: On the shores of Ruby Beach, Washington, the Pacific was restless under stormy skies. As the beach emptied and clouds thickened, I sent my drone out over the waves. Just then, a break in the sky let light pour through, backlighting a rising wave in soft white. I caught it in that fleeting moment—the curve, the lift, the pause. Later in Lightroom, I leaned into the stillness against the energy. Pulled the shadows down, smoothed the white caps, cleaned the noise with help from AI, not to perfect it, but to align the view with what the message truly is. The monochromatic hues gave the image a minimalistic feel, a rare paradox in nature. It’s everywhere, yet almost invisible. That’s why I chase it. This approach resulted in the dominant colors shown below. I hope they inspire your edits! Abyssal navy - 03131f Deep ocean blue - 0b2b3d Steel blue - 1c445e Cool cyan/teal wash - 3a748b Icy turquoise highlight - b6e8f2” @colorpro: We hope you enjoyed @lealguard’s breakdown! Have you ever tried applying a monochromatic palette to your ocean images? #ColorProWithMe
