Posted by Patrick Hall Admin on February 25, 2011 · 0 Comment
Michael Nichols is a photographer for National Geographic who was recently faced with the task of photographing a 300 foot Redwood in Northern California.

Each full image of the tree took over 1 hour to complete [...]

Choosing a Polarizing filter
Polarizing filters eliminate glare on non-metallic surfaces like glass or water. Additionally they can be used to increase the contrast and color saturation of your images. I use my polarizer not only to eliminate glare, but also to make skies a nice shade of blue or to get “pop” out of clouds. But when it comes to choosing the right polarizing filter for your needs, there are several [...]

This Month’s Critique – You Make The Changes
Posted by Peter Carey on April 14, 2010 · 0 Comment
For this month’s DPS Writer’s Critique, I thought I’d turn things around. It has been suggested before that there should be the opportunity for blog readers to not only voice their critique of the monthly photos, but that they should also show the rest of us what they were thinking. And that’s what we’re going to try this month!
With that concept in mind, here is [...]

How to Achieve Perfect Butterfly Lighting
Posted by Christina N Dickson on April 14, 2010 · 0 Comment
Butterfly Lighting is one of the most flattering and artistic ways of lighting the face. As it’s name would denote, Butterfly Lighting is created by the way in which you angle the light to fall on the face of your subject. Often used by celebrity photographers, this style of lighting can be achieved by a single off camera light and a reflector.

My 3 Favorite Things about Flickr
Posted by Guest Contributor on April 14, 2010 · 0 Comment
I’ve been asked a few times why I’ve decided to use flickr as my image hosting site instead of some of the many other options available to me. If I’m going to be completely honest, it’s that it was the only one I’d heard of when I got my account back in 2005.
But let’s forget about that for a second, and instead concentrate one why I stay at flickr. It’s because of all these additional [...]

Spot Fixing Images in Photoshop
Posted by Helen Bradley on April 14, 2010 · 0 Comment
Many of the images that you take particularly cityscapes, like most portraits, can do with some spot fixing. I’ve been traveling through Europe a lot lately and because it’s considered almost de rigeur to smoke there, many of the photos that I have are littered with cigarette butts and assorted garbage.
And although you may not realize it, even small cigarette butts will detract from [...]

How To Keep Your Batteries Charged While Traveling – City Edition
Posted by Peter Carey on April 14, 2010 · 0 Comment
I’d like to take a moment to talk about power. Electric power that is. We all have a craving for it as it powers everything we do with digital photography. If you’re completely digital gone are the days of being able to manually adjust your camera and still get shots without the need for a battery of some kind. And that’s why it’s even more important to consider where [...]

The Lenses We Would Have If We Could Have No Other Lenses [POLL RESULTS]
Posted by Peter Carey on April 14, 2010 · 0 Comment
A few weeks back I asked a loaded question: If You Could Only Have One Lens, What Would It Be? I knew from the start that it’d be tough question for most, as it was for me. Picking one lens when many of us shoot varied subject matter would present special problems.
I was, however, encouraged by the responses, especially the explanations. It was evident that a lot of DSLR owners would keep [...]

High Key Studio – What I Use and Why
Posted by Elizabeth Halford on April 14, 2010 · 0 Comment
If you follow my posts, you’ll know that I have a studio. At the moment, I mostly do high-key sessions with children. High-key is something that many photographers try to imitate and sometimes fail miserably simply because of a lack of understanding about light (and I only know this because I am one of those people!) Out of necessity, my photographic evolution has been a fast one and I laugh [...]

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 – Review
Posted by Barrie Smith on April 14, 2010 · 0 Comment
I sometimes hear from people who’ve newly acquired a digital SLR, saying they find it a hassle to continually change lenses when shooting a wide variety of subjects. Frankly, it goes with ‘SLR-territory’ (digital and film) and is the price you pay to enjoy the improved image of an interchangeable lens, reflex camera.
In reality, unless you’re very demanding and continually shoot magazine quality [...]

7 Ways to Get Your Photos Seen
Posted by Guest Contributor on April 14, 2010 · 0 Comment
I wanted to talk a little about a different kind of exposure for your photography… the kind that results in more people seeing your work. I have had a lot of people ask how to get their photos seen and many believe that simply posting photos to a site like Flickr is all they need to do.
If you are taking the time to create something, I think it is important that you also make the effort to have it [...]

He and his wife give each other stocking stuffer gifts and he’d like his to be photographic in nature.
