Vignettes are those fancy pants gradients around the edges of the frame in hipsters photographs. They make you look cool and like you know what you’re doing. So let’s fake that in post! There are 3 simple Vignette methods: 1. Using a solid layer and mask 2. Using a Shape layer and a fill 2.a. Calling someone else to do it for you 3. Using a solid layer and the circle effect I’m sure there are other less simple ways but I think you’ll like these ones. I know I sure do because I use them all the time. I hope you enjoy my terrible instructions on how to make these things happen and if you have any questions just leave them in the comments and I would love to help you out!

Unique Photography Techniques – Rock Band Photographer Michael Zagaris

03 Aug

Welcome to a new episode of the Marc Silber Show www.silberstudios.tv – Advancing Your Photography! We’re in San Francisco with our guest Michael Zagaris, also known as “the Z-man”. Michael has shot some of the most amazing rock & roll photos in his career behind the music. He became the band photographer for the Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, and the list of rock legends he captured on film goes on and on. As a rock & roll insider in those days, he took photos of what was, not what one expected to see, and as an insider today he does the same thing for 21st century bands and artists. As team photographer for the San Francisco 49ers and the Oakland A’s, Zagaris is sports’ “inside-out shooter”. Zagaris explains his approach to photography, how to “become what you shoot”, and focus on your subject. His unique tips on composition will help any photographer capture more raw emotion and energy in their photos.

Hanging Rock by Moonlight – Glacier Point, Yosemite National Park

01 Aug

There are few things that pique the curiosity of night sky watchers more than the moon. Even my son at 10 months old started to point out the moon. If you see it enough it seems anything but special, but the moon is amazing. It’s an amazing sight to witness and an amazing subject to photograph. One thing that amazes photographers the most is that the full moon gives off so much light.

Overhanging Rock by Moonlight – Glacier Point, Yosemite National Park

The moon is one gigantic reflector in the sky. The moon reflects ~1/7th of the sun’s light back to Earth, so with the right exposure (~7x’s longer than normal) you can get an image that looks nearly indistinguishable from a daytime photo. If you’re walking at night under a full moon you might not think that much light is there to see, but on the contrary once your eyes adapt it can look incredibly bright. The moon is pretty cool all around so be sure to take the time to appreciate it on your next night walk or night photo shoot. The experience will more than likely awaken a primal curiosity no different in experience than our caveman relatives might have felt.

Photo Details:
Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM at 20mm, f/4, 6 seconds, ISO 3200
