2. What I learned about photography this week

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Here are some more interesting and informative links for you, full of photographic goodness:

Know your camera

Epic Edits Weblog has a good article about learning the functions of your camera. While it is particularly useful for DSLR cameras owners, I still found it to be quite topical as I recently read my camera manual cover to cover. I think the gist of the article is to know your camera, be familiar with it, so that you don’t have to think too much about what settings to use when that perfect, yet unexpected, shot arises.

Improve your shooting technique

In a similar “educational” vein, Digital Photography School recommends a few ideas to improve and vary your photography.

Smoke and mirrors

Photodoto has fun using mirrors to photograph objects with some pleasing results.

…and for the festive season

With Christmas just around the corner, Photocritic rounds up a delicious list of gifts for photographers. So get to and drop some not-so-subtle hints to your loved ones!

Enjoy.

1. What I learned about photography this week

Friday, November 9th, 2007

I read some inspiring photography posts this week:

Online image editors

Photography Bay has written a post about free online photo editors.

I must say I didn’t know there were so many online photo editors out there and it constantly surprises me just how much one can do on the Internet these days. What will there be next?

I have since tried out the online photo editing tool called Snipshot (recommended in the above post) and was impressed at the amount of editing options I could use in the free edition.

Aperture

Idigitalphoto has an informative article about aperture. It is an excellent, easy to follow insight into the confusing world of aperture numbers, stops and settings.

Adding elements to your photo

Photoaxe teaches you how to add fog to your photographs.

How to photograph lightening

And the Digital Photography School Forums shows you how to capture lightening during a thunderstorm.

There are also some awesome lightening images to view.

Enjoy.
