Going Large Format With Cardboard, Foamcore, Tape, and a Magnifying Lens Let's face it. I like tinkering.

I wanted to take a more serious look at underwater photography, so I did! I LOVE WATER! I also love photography and I’ve always wanted to mix the two.

My interest on photography started to really grow when we had our Seminar-Workshop on Basic of Digital Photography. It was held somewhere in the month of July, 2007.

Digital Photography: File Size MattersAre you just starting out using a digital camera? Did you just get your first digital camera over the holidays? Are you unsure of how to take the best photographs with it? Here's one tip that may help end up with better results - set the file size setting on your camera to the largest file size possible.With most digital cameras, you have a choice of what size files you want to save your images as. The larger the files - the fewer files you can fit on your storage media (compact flash, smart media, etc). So the temptation is to set you files as small as possible, so you can fit more images on your camera before you download. For example, on my Nikon Coolpix 775 (set on minimal compression) with a 128 MB compact flash - I can fit 780 of the smallest fil

Although digital technology allows people to display and store their images using various media which are reputed to last for centuries, there’s still something to be said for having an actual photograph in your hands.

Shutter speed is measured in seconds - or in most cases fractions of seconds. The bigger the denominator the faster the speed (ie 1/1000 is much faster than 1/30). In most cases you’ll probably be using shutter speeds of 1/60th of a second or faster. This is because anything slower than this is very difficult to use without getting camera shake. Camera shake is when your camera is moving while the shutter is open and results in blur in your photos. If you’re using a slow shutter speed (anything slower than 1/60) you will need to either use a tripod or some some type of image stabilization (more and more cameras are coming with this built in). Shutter speeds available to you on your camera will usually double (approximately) with each setting. As a result you’ll usually have the op

What is Aperture?Aperture is ‘the size of the opening in the lens when a picture is taken.’When you hit the shutter release button of your camera a hole opens up that allows your cameras image sensor to catch a glimpse of the scene you’re wanting to capture. The aperture that you set impacts the size of that hole. The larger the hole the more light that gets in - the smaller the hole the less light.Aperture is measured in ‘f-stops’. You’ll often see them referred to here at Digital Photography School as f/number - for example f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6,f/8,f/22 etc. Moving from one f-stop to the next doubles or halves the size of the amount of opening in your lens (and the amount of light getting through). Keep in mind that a change in shutter speed from one stop to the next doubles or

My photos are good but not near the quality of Sandro Dzneladze's Digital Photography. I took a look around Sandro's blog and was blown away by the beautiful and diverse images. The blog is a journey into Sandro's photography and life through Sandro's eyes as well as Sandro's journal entries. These personal entries are not your run of the mill ones about what Sandro ate for breakfast but rather personal insight into Sandro's world of digital photography.One feature of the blog is the look back towards famous photographers of the past as well as those of the present. You will be amazed at the images you see on this blog. I added Sandro's blog to my feed reader so that I wouldn't miss out on any further photos.

Digital cameras have one major advantage over film cameras and that is the endless number of photos you can take without replacing the memory card. When the card is full you just download the photos to your computer and your camera is ready to take photos again. Since I bought my first digital camera I took thousands of photos, literally, without worrying whether I took poor photo or not and without visiting the local photo printing shop even once. That degree of freedom worth every dollar I spent on the camera. Statistically, every now and then I took excellent photo, really national geographic material. However, it wasn’t enough for me, I wanted to have more professional photos more often. I also understood that the fact that the camera is a digital one doesn’t mean it will do the composition, white balancing, shutter speed and aperture setting for me. So, I started to look for a digital photograph courses and to my surprise, there aren’t as many as I thought and th

I like taking photos.  Always have.  They offered courses when I was in high school and college but I never got around to taking them.  With the internet there is a wealth of information available, you just have to look for it.  Here is a great photography blog I found with some great tips. http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/

Digital photography continues to become more and more popular for a variety of reasons. Among the many advantages of digital photography are the ability to see your photos quickly on your LCD screen and then on your computer, the ability to choose which photos to print without having to print or develop all of them, and the ability to easily make improvements with photo editing software. Here are some digital photography basics.Digital photography is so easy that with minimal practice almost anyone can take great photos. After taking your photos, you simply plug your camera into your computer via a USB cord or a card reader. You see your photos almost instantly and can decide which ones you want to keep on your computer and which ones you want to delete. No waiting for development of film and then having to develop the entire roll to see which photos you like.You can then save them to your hard drive, burn them to a CD or upload them to photo sharing sites to share with friends and fam

Having a digital camera, whether you have a plan to make a career out of photography or you are simply a hobbyist, is obviously important. But before buying a digital camera, there will be a lot of things to take note of. Camera accessories are one but an important feature is photo software. Many are available in the market while you can also download some in the internet. Also, digital cameras cost more out of the box than regular cameras, but offer the convenience of immediate viewing, multiple image storage, computer connectivity - and there's no film to develop. Compare additional features you might want: interchangeable lenses, steady-shot, burst mode, auto exposure, automatic white balance, voice memo, variable shutter speeds, manual focus and self-timer.During photography's entire history, the amateur and the professional have represented distinct and often contrary approaches to photography, each battling for supremacy.

Digital cameras have rapidly gained acceptance as the main camera product that people now buy. The rise of the digital camera and the high quality home printers now available mean that we no longer need to rely on the traditional photo developer for our prints. It has become very much a shoot and print exercise for consumers without any delay or inconvenience that even a one hour developer means for us.The ability to shoot our own pictures as many times as we like without having to worry about rolls of film together with the convenience that the home computer revolution has brought us has led to a huge surge in profits for ink manufacturers worldwide. These huge profits have in turn led to a massive range of genuine and substitute ink cartridge suppliers coming to the market while the quality varies enormously.While home digital printing has lagged behind the sale and use of digital camera because of the concerns over print quality and the advent of easier digital print facilities at m

We’re on part three of my three part mini-series on digital photography workflow.  In part one I covered my in-camera workflow, and in part two I covered my organization workflow.  So now that the photos have been captured, stored, and organized, we’re ready to start the editing process. I usually don’t jump right into editing immediately after organizing my photos unless I have a lot of extra time to burn.  When I do have an hour or two for editing, I look to my “Process” label (as I explained in the organization workflow) and pick one that suits my mood.  Some photos I know I’ll be turning black & white, others I know will be in color, but for most of them I have no pre-thought plans.  When I see the untouched photo, though, I start running through all kinds of ideas on what I might do with it in Photoshop. Once I’ve picked a photo for editing, I locate it on the hard drive (easy task with Picasa) to find the RAW file.  Like I ment

This is part two of a three part series on photography workflow.  In part one, I discussed in-camera workflow.  This included everything that I do before and during a shoot to keep myself in check.  Now we’ll look at what I do after the shoot, and how I handle the digital files. When I’m done shooting, I’ll usually go straight to the computer and download all the photos.  I keep my photos on an external hard drive (250GB) dedicated just to photos.  I have a folder for each year on the top level just to help separate things out.  In each of the year folders, I create a new folder for each time I download.  Some people take it a step further and have a folder for each month, but I don’t.  I name the folders using the scheme “MMDD” so everthing stays in chronological order.  After I download the photos, I format the memory card on the camera so it’s ready for the next shoot.  The photos on my hard drive are also backed up through an onli

After reading the Digital Photography School’s article on RAW Workflow: A Pro’s Approach, I thought I would offer up the same insights (though I’m not a pro).  Everybody has a workflow, even if you don’t realize it.  Most of us are habitual creatures, so we do things the same way each time until we make an effort to do them differently.  As you become more experienced with photography, your workflow habits will likely need to change and adapt. I’m sharing my personal workflow habits, so don’t take this as the Gospel.  Every one of you as a photographer has different needs, so take what you want from this and incorporate it into your own workflow.  I’ll break this into three main sections: In-Camera, Organization, and Post-Processing.  I originally wrote it as a single post, but it’s pretty long.  So this post will focus on the in-camera workflow this time. Before I even turn the camera on, there are several things I make sure tha

I took some photos today, with my new digital camera (man I'm still smiling over being able to say that!) while waiting for the home delivery ice-cream man to come along our street. I deliberately took one with the intention of turning an ordinary photo into a better one, just to prove to myself that I can indeed take an interesting shot, and that not all the decent ones are the result of pure arse or luck. Raw Photo: After I'd played around with it, but only a little bit:.
