The Terminator Line
Use The Edge Of Night & Day In Your Landscape Images
by Brad Perks

The terminator line is created by the earth’s shadow. It is literally the edge of night and day, which some photographers refer to as the twilight zone. The shadow first appears in shades of blue along the horizon. Dramatic terminator lines fade from shades of soft, pastel blue into a pretty pink sky, a gradual blending of pastel colors that punch up the natural colors of the entire scene. Using the terminator line helps you go beyond what is normally associated with sunsets into the unexpected.

Making People See the Way Music Sounds
by Ron Leach, Publisher

Two of my passions are photography and jazz, so I was doubly saddened by the recent passing of Herman Leonard who was responsible for many of the iconic images of Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday and other jazz greats.

Born and raised in Allentown, PA, Leonard eventually made New Orleans his home until 2005 when Hurricane Katrina flooded his house and studio. Fortunately, as Katrina approached Leonard had his negatives moved to a museum for safekeeping, while his staff carried his prints to a second-floor bathroom where they survived the flooding. He subsequently relocated to Los Angeles where he lived until his death at the age of 87.
