Beauty: What is it and how important is it?

March 23, 2012 by Corinna Stoeffl Leave a Comment

As a photographer, I look for juried competitions or show entries in order to get my images in front of decision makers. Therefore, I look at the pictures of previous winners and those being in the accepted groups. I have made an observation that is disconcerting to me. In so many situations, the images that…

Portfolio Reviews

September 28, 2011 by Corinna Stoeffl Leave a Comment

This past weekend, I participated in the Portfolio Review Bootcamp offered by Center in Santa Fe. It was a very valuable experience in preparation of two events I signed up for. I am now in the process of implementing suggestions and hope to create a powerful portfolio of my photographic mandalas. For those, who don’t…

Catching up

August 11, 2011 by Corinna Stoeffl Leave a Comment

It has been quite some time since my last post. As you can see, my blog is now integrated with my web site, which has a completely new look and new galleries. Despite using a template, it still took time to create the new galleries and tweak everything. Here is a quick overview of what…

New subject – new learning

March 8, 2011 by Corinna Stoeffl Leave a Comment

On the way back on a recent trip, I stopped by the Grand Canyon. Since it was still February, it was my hope that I could drive the road to Hermits rest with my car instead of the shuttle bus. But the two days before my arrival, they had a blizzard with 14″ of new…

Branching out

February 14, 2011 by Corinna Stoeffl Leave a Comment

I am beginning to add other ‘subjects’ to my cloud / sky / mountain ridges collection of photographic mandalas. For the past week, I have been working with trees. I found that my current knowledge transfers only partially to trees. It seems that they have their own, unique “needs”. Not only as a subject in…

… and the journey continues

January 15, 2011 by Corinna Stoeffl Leave a Comment

A few days ago, we had an incredible sunset. The undersides of the clouds lit orange-red and their recessed part a beautiful, rich grey. Inspiration asked again: How would this look as a mandala? Because of my intense analysis of the photographic mandalas and the single image I often take before, I am now beginning…

2010 in review

December 31, 2010 by Corinna Stoeffl Leave a Comment

With the New Year approaching, I have been looking over my photographic journey during the past 12 – 18 months. So much has been happening. In September 2009 I published my web site after having learned enough of Dreamweaver to put together a simple one. I started this blog, which was a daunting idea for…

Rule of Thirds

December 6, 2010 by Corinna Stoeffl Leave a Comment

If you look at great images, your eye seems to go to certain items. Usually, they are placed in so called ‘power points’. Imagine a tic-tac-toe grid, dividing the image both horizontally and vertically into thirds. he ‘power points’ are the four places where the lines intersect. You do not want to place the horizon…

New Mandalas

December 3, 2010 by Corinna Stoeffl Leave a Comment

As I play with creating mandalas, I am continuously surprised at the outcomes. About 2 weeks ago, I was at it again. This time, I had some of the landscape in the image and a completely new ‘look’ was the result. It took me a while to figure out what had happened. With the help…

Playing with reflections

November 21, 2010 by Corinna Stoeffl Leave a Comment

Beginning of the month, I visited my family in Germany. One day, I had the chance to go to a nearby lake, just underneath the highest mountain in Germany. It is a much photographed area and I tried to find views that I had not seen before on postcards. I succeeded with only one image….
