The Best Way to View a Photographer?s Online Portfolio

by God
Feb 12th 2012 - 0 comments

Art needs it’s own space. This is why art galleries offer an environment that an artist can mold and control to their need. The online experience is a little different, and that’s expected; but how can you create the best ambience for an artist’s work to showcase itself online? By clearing screen clutter.

Back in May I finally treated myself to a Canon G12, a piece of kit that Iâ??ve wanted since it was released the previous year, and I set myself a challenge: use it to photograph a friendâ??s wedding. My good friend Ruth was getting married not far from

The Best Walkabout Lenses

by God
Feb 12th 2012 - 0 comments

  If you’re buying your first dSLR camera, you are probably considering the purchase of a single lens that allows you to do ‘everything’ as you take a walk, a ‘walkabout lens’. Granted, this may not be the best quality lens around, but at least you won’t have to feel like your brand new dSLR [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/27/18/422718.jpeg[/IMG]

Feb 12th 2012 - 0 comments

I know some people who like their images crisp and clear from foreground to background. Are you like that? You don’t like blurry edges framing your subject… You shoot in bright sunlight often, pointing away from the sun, or keeping the sun at a 30 degree angle… You’re not happy with your lens [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/27/10/422710.jpeg[/IMG]

Cameras manages your connections on Mac

Feb 12th 2012 - 0 comments

If you use a Mac, you’re likely familiar with the Image Capture application, which lets your computer know what to do when a camera is plugged in to your computer; open it with iPhoto or open it with Lightroom. That’s great, but what if you have a few different cameras? What if you have an [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/27/03/422703.jpeg[/IMG]

Kodak takes Kodachrome away

by God
Feb 12th 2012 - 0 comments

I don’t imagine Kodak had the foresight in 1935 to understand the massive appeal and impact their new film stock was going to have, but when it hit the market that year, it changed the world of photography forever. This week, Kodak announced it was halting the production of Kodachrome. The stock was revered for [...][IMG][/IMG]

White Balance Reloaded

Feb 12th 2012 - 0 comments

A great picture is a record of light. Whether the picture is black and white or color, it’s the light in the picture that gets put to film (or memory card). A camera is generally pretty dumb when it comes to light. It relies on some automated sensors to tell it how much light and [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/26/91/422691.gif[/IMG]

Photographers Matt Kloskowski and Scott Kelby have a new website which will air a weekly show about Nikon gear and Nikon related photography tips. This is a little strange, if only because it seems like one big advertisement for Nikon… and basically, that’s what it is – because the site is in fact sponsored by [...][IMG][/IMG]

Feb 12th 2012 - 0 comments

I know, you (like most of us) think we’re beyond being told how to hold an SLR camera when taking a picture. You grab it by the grip, you cradle the lens, you hold still – and you snap the shot. Nothing could be easier. In my time around photographers (and around non-photographers who happened [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/26/86/422686.jpeg[/IMG]

1,000 shots a day {the National Geographic photographer}

Feb 12th 2012 - 0 comments

I can’t remember the last time I read something about photography that wasn’t online. I picked up National Geographic’s recent 50 Greatest Pictures issue recently and was totally enthralled by reading about the behind-the-scenes on some of their most iconic images. One line jumped out at me massively: “A photographer shoots 20,000 to 60,000 images [...]Post originally from: Digital Photography Tips.

Today I read an interview with photographer Bruce Gilden (warning, some of Bruces images are confronting) whose photography of his time in Haiti was featured in the January edition of Leica’s LFI magazine. In the interview Bruce was asked about the how he seems to have a real instinctual energy in his images. Bruce answered: [...]Post originally from: Digital Photography Tips.

Capturing a waterfall is a matter of personal taste. This post will not tell you you should always use shutter speed 1/X and life will be fine. To the contrary, this post is meant to show some examples of what different shutter speeds do to a moderately distant waterfall so you can decide for yourself [...]Post originally from: Digital Photography Tips.

Earlier today we posted a series of photos on the themes of Abandonment and Urban Decay (uplifting stuff wasn’t it). I thought it might make a good theme for this weeks photography challenge too. While not everyone will have an atmospheric abandoned factory to race out and photograph – hopefully it’s a theme that with [...]Post originally from: Digital Photography Tips.

After discovering his photograph used without permission on The Telegraph’s website, photographer Jonathan Kent contacted the newspaper asking to be compensated for the unauthorized use.

Captured on April 1, 1995 by the Hubble Telescope, the photograph Pillars of Creation is one of the most famous space images ever made. Here’s a crazy fact though: did you know that the “pillars” seen in the photo were already long gone by the time the image was captured? Astronomers have concluded that the [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/16/60/421660.jpeg[/IMG]

Photography author Ben Long has a thought-provoking article over at CreativePro in which he argues that “all photos are manipulated” and that “there is no such thing as absolute truth in photography”: All images are Photoshopped.
