Free Photography Lessons, Part 1: Introduction

12 Oct

I gladly offer this basic, 5-part series of photography lessons FOR FREE! Our world has become increasingly visual in the way we communicate. We not only take more pictures, we show them, send them and display them to more eyes than ever before. Wouldn’t it be nice to capture and show better pictures? In this series, I get us thinking about… 1. How to tell a story with our photographs by understanding the 4 dimensions associated with the art. 2. The basic elements of “composing” our photographic story. How do we put things in our viewfinders so people get the essence of that moment that inspired us. 3. Understanding exposure, light and color and how they combine to say what we want. 4. How lens choice and operation effects focus and how focus effects what we show in our photos 5. The people in our photographs and the people we are showing them to. Please enjoy these lessons. They’re not meant to be comprehensive and their not meant to be exhaustive or advanced. That doesn’t mean I don’t encourage any questions you might want to post for either me to try to answer or anyone else who comes along. Please, be kind, helpful and enjoy.

Black Friday Camera SuperGuide: 7 Great Ones! – Tekzilla

12 Oct

Digital Photography Week? Yes, but Motorola’s Droid is on our minds, too! ‘Still’ cameras that take great video. The Best Free Panomamic Stitching Tool. Favorite Digital Photography Gadgets, 7 Great Digital Cameras For Black Friday, Better Night, Low Light Photography! Droid Sound vs. Dead Drive! We should have a Motorola Droid review next week, but, for now, Veronica talks modding her iPhone with the evil Droid robot sound! (Patrick has another trashed hard drive, but this time it’s -not- the drive’s fault!) Fave Photo Gadgets… and a few quick digital photography tips! Memory cards and rechargable batteries are cheap, especially if you’ve ever missed a photo ’cause you ran out of juice, or space on a CF card! We list the lens cleaning tools we use, too, remind every new DSLR owner to buy a UV Filter to protect their expensive camera lens, RTFM before the big shoot, and more! Pocket Tripods! Any tripod (or monopod!) can help you take better photos, especially at night. Carrying a full sized top o’ the line floating head tripod around is a pain. That’s why we’ve got gadgets like the Joby Gorillapod and Pedco’s UltraPod and UltraClamp in our bags! Cases Protecting your pricey digital camera is a good idea. Roger favors a small bag from Lowe Pro for his PowerShot. Patrick’s Rebel is stored in a re-purposed Timbuk2 bag that works like a proper camera holster bag. Need a hard case? Try a Pelican or Otter Box! Free Software: Microsoft Image Composite Editor Sometimes, just
