It’s all About Framing!

A guest post by Sévrine Monnay, New York Photo Tours company citifari’s copywriter
How to make a great picture? What are the keys elements that help shooting pics successfully? What should we have to be careful about to get the most out of the scene we want to remember?
Why Framing?
Of course the camera settings and the subject choice play a role, but the framing is most critical. We don’t take pictures. We build them. Let’s take an example: on vacations and you may want to photograph a famous monument. You have chosen your topic and you are ready to press the shutter. Just few questions: have you paid attention to the elements around? Is there another way to approach the picture? Must the subject necessarily be at the center of the composition? Photography is not only to put in the box the subjects you want to remember. Photography is more about feelings, than things. Give life to your subjects! Retransmit sensations! Be the master of your pictures! In short, think out of the (camera) box!
Framing or Composition?
However, basics framing rules must not be forsaken. There is a difference between composing and framing. Composing is an artistic process, while framing is about defining your creation. To put a strict frame will not harm your composition; on the contrary, it will give character to your pictures. Let’s take the picture below. The first rule of framing is not to cut your main subject, in this case, this magnificent cast-iron building and its timeless charm. But it’s interesting to play with the particular form of the subject too. That’s why the picture is shot from below to give the sense of depth. Then the second choice is about the subject size. The building is not shot from top to bottom to keep the length dynamic. The floor lamp, as the second subject of the picture, is taken in the same way. The last adjustment is made with the photo slightly turned to pass the feeling that the building is tilting forward.
How to get it?
It is not that hard to pay attention to everything when you are taking your pictures. No panic! Remember to train yourself for your next pictures and it will rapidly become a habit that you don’t think about. Soon you’ll have the perfect picture in mind well before taking out your camera and you will produce next picture perfect candidates.

Selective Colour in Photoshop, plus a quick bit about Curves
20
Oct
This is a tutorial that (tries to) demonstrate the power of the Selective Colour dialogue in Photoshop. I mess up a little (accidentally leaving the dialogue on absolute instead of relative), but I think it works out anyway… I also do my best to explain how Curves actually works, (especially why an s-curve works to increase contrast). Comments / Criticism always welcome. =)

25 August, 2012 – Learning About Photography from Classical Music
25
Aug
Yes, I care as much about new gear and technology as you do. But, I also try to regularly publish essays on "photography" – you know, that thing we do with our shiny new toys to gives them purpose.
Today’s essay by contributor Mark Schacter is titled Everything That’s Important in Photography I Learned from Classical Music.
"You and Jeff did it again! A great series of videos.
I’ve watched the earlier Camera to Print series as well as the LR 2 & 3 videos and as usual, I learned
new technique and ideas even though I’ve been behind a camera for 45 years.
Additionally, the rapport you two have is most engaging, enjoyable, and totally different than the sterile video tutorials from others (I’m afflicted with being a visual learner).
Again, a great series of videos that have helped me grow once again."

Dan Chung speaks to Canon’s Chuck Westfall about 4K Cinema EOS cameras
21
Apr
DSLRnewsshooter’s Dan Chung has been speaking to Canon USA Technical Advisor Chuck Westfall for more details about the company’s 4K Cinema EOS offerings. Both the 500C and 1D C are skewed towards cinema and high-end television production, rather than documentary and news work, Westfall says, but hints that ‘peaking’ and ‘zebra’ focusing aids could be added to the 1D C if the market demands it.
