I used to have a manual SLR when I was 18; the very same old film camera which my Mum was given for her eighteeneth birthday. It was a PRAKTIKA and I loved exploring the behaviours of light with its shutter speeds and apertures, and the act of crafting photos with it and setting up all the parameters before taking a shot. But in recent years, I abandoned this approach in favour of the far quicker point-and-shoot method. This was a good strategy for a while and I cannot fault the portability or ease of use of the point and shoot camera.<\/p>\n<p>However, light waves and sound waves and seeing and listening are very subtle phenomena. What I have loved so much about bringing the Audio Technica microphone into my sonic practice, is how using that microphone extends and enhances the act of hearing. When I was recording some pigeons the other day with that microphone, I noticed that the microphone was not only documenting the cooing sound as I hear it, but also picking up on some details in the sound which I hadn&#8217;t noticed before. In other words, recording the pigeon with my device <em>made me listen differently<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>Using the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvtechnology.com\/article\/95030\">Audio Technica<\/a>\/FOSTEX FR-2LE set up is more cumbersome and time-consuming than using the portable, handheld EDIROL is. But I often feel that I can do a far better job of capturing sounds <em>as I hear them<\/em> with this kit than I can with the EDIROL. To explain; Because of its cardioid pick-up pattern, I can focus in on a particular sound with the Audio Technica; I can get very close to it; I can concentrate my listening into a distinct area and I can foreground something from the soundscape in a very deliberate way. This is what the ear does; it can select a single sound from many sounds and focus in on it. The ear can allow background chatter to drop to a vague wash in order to listen in on a single conversation, and so it is with the Audio Technica mic. <\/p>\n<p>I have noticed that using SLRs and specific lenses &#8211; where you have more control over the parameters, the area of focus, the depth of field, etc. &#8211; do a similar job of helping you to show in your photography which specific thing you want to capture when you take your photo.<\/p>\n<p><object data=\"http:\/\/boos.audioboo.fm\/swf\/fullsize_player.swf\" height=\"129\" id=\"boo_embed_332501\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"400\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/boos.audioboo.fm\/swf\/fullsize_player.swf\" \/><param name=\"scale\" value=\"noscale\" \/><param name=\"salign\" value=\"lt\" \/><param name=\"bgColor\" value=\"#FFFFFF\" \/><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"window\" \/><param name=\"FlashVars\" value=\"mp3Author=FelicityVFord&amp;mp3=http%3A%2F%2Faudioboo.fm%2Fboos%2F332501-pigeons-cooing-teenagers-impersonating-birds-social-gathering-under-a-railway-bridge.mp3%3Fsource%3Dembed&amp;mp3Title=pigeons+cooing%2C+teenagers+impersonating+birds%2C+social+gathering+under+a+railway+bridge&amp;mp3LinkURL=http%3A%2F%2Faudioboo.fm%2Fboos%2F332501-pigeons-cooing-teenagers-impersonating-birds-social-gathering-under-a-railway-bridge&amp;rootID=boo_embed_332501&amp;mp3Time=12.58pm+15+Apr+2011\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/audioboo.fm\/boos\/332501-pigeons-cooing-teenagers-impersonating-birds-social-gathering-under-a-railway-bridge.mp3?source=embed\">Listen!<\/a><\/object><\/p>\n<p>The onboard microphones inside the EDIROL will get a great general picture of a sound; they will record a general wash of what is going on and it will be perfectly acceptable. But they will not pluck the one sound of a motorbike engine from amidst the thrum of many engines when you are honing in on such a sound, and they will not show in crystalline detail, the way that a pigeon&#8217;s coo resonates inside it&#8217;s chest.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, the Pentax Optio has taken many great pictures for me over the years; general pictures with good clarity, and an excellent documentary quality. But it cannot hone in on the extremely specific details of things that I see, unlike my eyes which <em>do notice<\/em> specifics, such as how delicate the edges of Wisteria petals are, and how gritty and rugged the surfaces of old bricks appear.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thedomesticsoundscape.com\/wordpress\/?attachment_id=2434\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2434\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2434\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/thedomesticsoundscape.com\/wordpress\/?attachment_id=2434\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thedomesticsoundscape.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/wisteria.jpg?fit=950%2C632\" data-orig-size=\"950,632\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"wisteria\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thedomesticsoundscape.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/wisteria.jpg?fit=950%2C632\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thedomesticsoundscape.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/wisteria.jpg?resize=950%2C632\" alt=\"\" title=\"wisteria\" width=\"950\" height=\"632\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2434\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thedomesticsoundscape.com\/wordpress\/?attachment_id=2418\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2418\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thedomesticsoundscape.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/brick-porn.jpg?resize=950%2C632\" alt=\"\" title=\"brick-porn\" width=\"950\" height=\"632\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2418\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Over the years I have banged on and on here about my love of the sounds of the blackbirds, but it wasn&#8217;t until Ned lent me his old SLR that I have been able to capture and <em>show you<\/em> which bird that is.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thedomesticsoundscape.com\/wordpress\/?attachment_id=2416\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2416\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thedomesticsoundscape.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/blackbird.jpg?resize=950%2C690\" alt=\"\" title=\"blackbird\" width=\"950\" height=\"690\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2416\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;so I had a very happy time on Friday wandering around Chichester with Ned, his Pentax SLR, and a big sack o&#8217; lenses. I insisted on dragging him to the inauspicious-looking WOOLSTAPLERS ROAD, so-named in recognition of the successful wool-grading business which operated there for a couple of hundred years. One Ebenezer Prior and his sons ran a wool-grading establishment in Chichester for a very long time, and fleeces from all along the South East Coast of the UK were taken there for grading and sorting. Now all that testifies to this once-great-enterprise is the Woolstapler&#8217;s Carpark where one of the buildings once stood, and the name of the road.<\/p>\n<p><a
