Photography Tips...
As I come across useful tips from around the Internet I'll post links here. I may get around to typing up a few of the tips I use on a regular bases, but for now I'll give you some pointers to tips I've found useful.
Camera Tips
- Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 - Videos on cleaning DSLR gear. Some things are a bit over kill for most people, but otherwise some tips.
Imaging Processing Tips...
Photoshop Tips for Photographers
- Click link to view (Off-site): Using Smart Objects to apply non-destructive image corrections using Photoshop CS3/CS4 with RAW files. Click the image to watch the view on using Smart Objects to change the brightness/contrast in different areas of the photograph with changing the underlining photo. Very powerful!
- Site full of Photoshop Tips: Digital Darkroom @ The Light's Right Studio
- HDR Technique How-To: A good full detail on creating HDR photos.
Image Management with ACDSee Pro
- ACDSee Pro 2.5 - Check out ACDSee Pro 2.5 for easy and quick image management and editing. Almost don't need Photoshop. Many photos that are on the web site have just be processed in ACDSee Pro and then placed onto the web site. The batch processing allows for quick resizing and watermark.
Learning from others...
Learning photography is often done by looking at other photographers work. Studying the compositions, lighting and angles help push you forward with your own photography. Here are a number of photographers that inspire me (not in any specific order).
