This is another in a series of articles on studio lighting that I put together with help from Karl Leopold at ImagesForever.net in Melbourne, Florida. Karl graciously opened his studio to me and patiently went through the basics of lighting a studio portrait. Last time we went over a fairly basic three-point lighting setup for studio photography and that was Continue Reading

A video review of my new lens, the Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR and Nikon’s 2x teleconverter. This lens was purchased for my portraiture work but today I took it to a country park to test it out as a setup for wildlife photography to play with the teleconverter. The lens is fantastically sharp and I try to cover all the main points about this lens that make it worth the money it costs. A very good lens for all kinds of work. I hope to show it again in a video of how I use it most and where I think it is best, portraiture. Any questions or comments, fire away! Review of this lens on my blog – wp-photography.co.uk www.wp-photography.co.uk www.twitter.com/wpphotographyuk www.facebook.com/wpphotographyuk

Part 1 of Tour Singapore Lifestyle Photographer, Wong Kin Leong photographs Changi Airport, Singapore and collects it all into this clip. www.wahliao.com A wahliao.com production and features http Kin Leong takes a walk and photographs the architecture of Singapore International Airport, Changi, home to Singapore Airlines and Silkair. Inspired by the colors of sunny Singapore and its cultures, the photos reflects the vibrance of Changi International and its role in serving the international community and their air routes. Beginning where it should, the arrival hall. And as we venture around the airport, we see travellers, airport staff, pilots, stewardesses and well wishers all interacting within the airport, and showcasing the architecture of Terminal 3 and Terminal 2. Wong Kin Leong writes: “I woke up one day thinking that I should fly off just for a holiday, and when I got into Changi Airport, Singapore, I took these lot of photos, trying to break my usual photographic techniques and tried to have some fun instead, doing things to the camera and with weird settings, and then jammed all the photos into my Macbook and turned the saturation up, fooled around with the colors and just basically experimented. Pretty interesting outcome, and I didn’t care if it looked odd to people, as long as it felt awesome to me. I found this liberating, and a must-do sometimes in life. Just have fun! And let’s see where we end up.” We hope you love this clip, and spread it if you did. Thanks!

You’ve been reading their articles for months or years, have you ever wondered “Who are the photographers who write for DPS”? We thought it would be a good time to introduce them to you through a series of interviews. No worries, Darren will get his turn too.
Today meet Valerie Jardin, born and raised in France and currently living in Minnesota, USA.
I picked up my first DSLR about 15 years ago. It wasn’t a life-long hobby like many other photographers. It has since become a true passion, almost an obsession!
Valerie Jardin – Photographer, Instructor
I am a full time photographer. I shoot mostly interiors for commercial clients, some food as well as lifestyle portraits. Most of my time and energy is now devoted to leading international photo workshops. Sharing the passion for this beautiful craft and teaching people to see is the most gratifying experience.
I would have to pick street photography but more in the travel sense of the term. Including people in my frame to add life and a sense of place to my images. The quest for the story in a single frame is as exciting as the resulting image itself. I can spend days walking the street of any large city without tiring as long as I have my camera with me.
I started writing for DPS in 2010. I think it’s the teacher in me that drove me to writing articles to help other photographers learn from my mistakes and successes. My articles are all inspired by my own experiences. I love helping others and we are so lucky to be part of such a great global community of photographers from all walks of life.
I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark II and my favorite lens is the 24-70mm f/2.8. Yet, I find myself traveling light and shooting mostly with the 40mm pancake lens when working on self projects or shooting street photography. I love that lens, it’s sharp and inconspicuous!
Go out with your camera as often as possible, everyday if you can. Shoot with intent and make every frame count.
I am adding new photography workshops every year. I am running two workshops in Paris and two on the beautiful Normandy coast in France in 2013, those are all inclusive week-long workshops. I also offer weekend workshops in the US, San Diego in March and Minneapolis in June. I am also excited to announce a workshop in Melbourne, Australia to take place in February 2014! Ultimately for me it’s all about teaching and sharing my passion for this beautiful craft and hanging out with other photographers.
They can visit my website to see my commercial photography as well as my personal work. It also has links to everything such as my blog, my workshops, and social media platforms. I’m the most active on my Facebook page.

I would like to thank Valerie for her contributions to the photography community through her writing on DPS and also for starting this round of interviews. We hope you come away from these short interviews with a better idea of who is writing for DPS. Please let us know how we are doing.

Photo by OneEighteenThis past week we’ve had a few tutorials on Landscape Photography so I thought it might make a good topic for this week’s challenge.
So – your challenge is to take and share a landscape photo.
Feel free to shoot whatever type of landscape image you like (and have available to you). For many of you it might be a snowscape, for others in the southern hemisphere it could be a http://digital-photography-school.com/5-quick-tips-for-coastal-photography“>beachscape, it could be a cityscape or anything else you like.
Also feel free to photograph your landscape in any way/style – black and white, HDR, sunset – it is totally up to you.
Once you’ve taken and selected your best landscape shot upload it to your favourite photo sharing site and either share a link to it or – embed it in the comments using the our new tool to do so.
If you tag your photos on Flickr, Instagram, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag them as #DPSLANDSCAPE to help others find them. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.
Also – don’t forget to check out some of the great shots posted in our last challenge – Best Shot of 2012 challenge where there were some beautiful shots submitted.
