Wesentliches: Eine Aktion auf KWERFELDEIN

24 Jul


Martin, 30, Herausgeber, Hochzeitsfotografie

Viele von Euch kennen bestimmt das Persona Projekt von Jason Travis auf flickr. Das Ding macht ja schon seit geraumer Zeit die Runde und wurde auch hier bei uns schon in einem Artikel vorgestellt.

Zu Recht, wie wir finden. Jedes Foto ist sehr ähnlich, aber durch die unterschiedlichen Gegenstände doch anders. Die abgebildeten Dinge lassen viel Spielraum, um sich ein Bild von der Person hintern den fotografierten Gegenständen zu machen. Und da wir gern mehr über Euch Leser erfahren würden, haben wir uns Folgendes gedacht:

Fotografiert die wesentlichen Gegenstände, die Ihr meistens bei Euch habt, beziehungsweise die Euch wichtig sind. Es müssen nicht unbedingt Dinge sein, die Ihr immer mit Euch rumschleppt. Wir meinen, man kann dem Ganzen ruhig ein bisschen mehr Freiraum lassen. Wenn Ihr also ohne einen Toast mit Nutella am Morgen nicht in die Gänge kommt, könnt Ihr auch einen solchen mit fotografieren. Ein paar Regeln gibt es aber schon.

  • Die Gegenstände möglichst senkrecht von oben fotografieren.
  • Im Format 3:2.
  • Das Foto muss mindestens 800 Pixel breit sein.
  • Nur minimal bearbeiten. Kontraste anziehen, ein wenig nachschärfen.
  • Bitte postet einen Link zum Foto in das Kommentarfeld und schreibt drei kurze Infos über Euch dazu: Name, Alter und Tätigkeit.
  • Solltet Ihr ein Blog betreiben, könnt Ihr natürlich alternativ auch einen eigenen Blogartikel daraus machen und einen Trackback setzen.
  • Einsendeschluss ist diesen Montag, 25. Juli um 23:59.

In einer Woche werden wir an dieser Stelle eine Auswahl der Fotos vorstellen, die wir am interessantesten finden. Damit Ihr Euch vielleicht auch ein besseres Bild von uns machen könnt, folgen jetzt schon mal unsere “wesentlichen Dinge”, ein kleiner Einblick in die Taschen der Redaktion.


Aileen, 24, Studentin


Katja, 26, Studentin


Holger Lückerath, 35, Redakteur & Fotografierer


Robert, 28, Entwerfer, Fotograf

Wir wünschen Euch viel Spaß und freuen uns schon auf Eure “Einsendungen”. 😉

Blending multiple images together: Photoshop CS5 for Photographers from lynda.com

24 Jul

Watch the entire course at www.lynda.com PhotoshopCS5 for Photographers provides comprehensive Photoshop training targeting the needs of photographers. In this course, author Chris Orwig demonstrates the fundamental skills used to enhance digital photos, including managing and correcting color, sharpening, making selections and adjustments, retouching, and printing from Photoshop. In addition to teaching the techniques that enable photographers to refine and publish their photos, the course includes live-action segments that encourage thinking photographically, and shoot with Photoshops capabilities in mind.

This is one of my technique when filtering out pictures. making them more sharp to look at and clearer. this technique shows how to make the small details of the pictures stand out. The technique is similar similar to the “Dave Hill” effect, but this one has a softer touch for pictures. subscribe for more tutorials or visit www.tutvid.com

3517 Austin St., on the Central Campus of Houston Community College. The Congregation Beth Israel was the first Jewish congregation in Texas. When the congregation moved to its current facility in the 1970s, it donated this historic site to the Houston Independent School District, where it housed the first High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. It now serves as the Heinen Theater for the HCC FIne Arts Department.

Microsoft Excel 2010 – Quick Tip: Add a Manual Line Break

24 Jul

A keyboard shortcut to manually add a line break inside a cell.

If you have a lot of text that needs to be placed inside a cell in a Microsoft Excel 2010 workbook, you could decrease the size of the font to fit more text inside, but do so too much and the text will become ineligible. You could increase the cell width, but this affects every cell in the column. And you could merge neighbor cells together so the text flows automatically to the right, but depending on your layout this may not be feasible.

Or, one other option is to wrap the text in a cell. But pressing ENTER while typing data into a cell moves the cell pointer down, so how can this be done? …
