by NS_Photography

Mar 29th 2012 - 0 comments

This post should actually be called: “How People THINK Photographers Spend Their Time -VS- How They Actually Spend It — it’s not what you think and it’s not too late”. Come to think of it, perhaps I’ll find an even better title… [Done.] Experience tells me that non-photographers, or amateur photographers often have an idyllic [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/44/87/28/448728.jpeg[/IMG]

by NS_Photography

Mar 29th 2012 - 0 comments

What’s ‘Bokeh’? It’s a word of Japanese origin used to describe the aesthetic quality of the ‘out-of-focus’ area of a photograph. Typically referring to the more visible ‘circles of confusion’ that are visible in shallow depth of field photographs. To get the best bokeh possible, do this: Use a fast lens, with the aperture wide [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/44/87/20/448720.jpeg[/IMG]

The Best Way to View a Photographer?s Online Portfolio

by NS_Photography

Mar 29th 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. If [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/44/87/12/448712.jpeg[/IMG]

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

The Best Walkabout Lenses

by NS_Photography

Mar 29th 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/17/00/44/86/57/448657.jpeg[/IMG]

by NS_Photography

Mar 29th 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/17/00/44/86/49/448649.jpeg[/IMG]

Cameras manages your connections on Mac

by NS_Photography

Mar 29th 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/17/00/44/86/42/448642.jpeg[/IMG]

Kodak takes Kodachrome away

by NS_Photography

Mar 29th 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]

Mar 29th 2012 - 0 comments

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]

Joe McNally explains his slow shutter grip

by NS_Photography

Mar 29th 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/17/00/44/86/25/448625.jpeg[/IMG]

White Balance Reloaded

by NS_Photography

Mar 29th 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/17/00/44/86/30/448630.gif[/IMG]

Mar 29th 2012 - 0 comments

When I first heard about this little number I was sceptical: Why? Whaffor? What’s doing? Then, when I actually held the magnesium alloy bodied, mirrorless interchangeable lens camera in my sweaty palms at a spiffy harbourside press preview, the penny finally dropped. It comes at a time when some camera companies are doing major rethinks [...]Post originally from: Digital Photography Tips.

Classical or contemporary; architectural photography can be as challenging as it is rewarding. Here are some pointers to help you get started? 1.
