Magdalena Bors. Holly Anissa » photography, digital art, and an honest blog about parenting a special needs child. About @ Ariana Falerni Design. Hi, I’m Ariana, I’m a child and family portrait photographer based in Rockland County New York. A few other things about me.. I love to sing but hate to dance, mostly because I’m god awful at it.

Dancing, not singing I mean. I believe in astrology. Like really believe as in if I knew your date and time of birth I could tell you things about yourself that you wouldn’t believe! I microwave my ice cream so it’s soft and when I’m done I usually lick the bowl. I’m pretty shy and reserved by nature, but most people don’t think of me that way. I overshare. Like my son, I can only be convinced to take vitamins if they are in gummy-bear form. I’m a serial obsessionist. Oh, you wanted to know more about the wall guides and not my personal quirks? I was inspired to create the Photographer’s Wall Display guides when my friend Sara commissioned me to shoot a series of images to adorn the walls of her retail space in San Francisco.

Happy Shooting! Denis Smith Photography. Home | Landscape Photography by Varina Patel – eBooks, Tips, Workshops, Blog. Practicing, “Know your Ax”… Perfecting Your Skills … & Never Stop Fine Tuning « Jack Graham Photography. Knowing your “AX”……. It’s Important “Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect”. …………….Vince Lombardi I have a degree in music.

I was a professional musician in and around New York City until 1989. In 1989, I played over 175 “dates” and made a considerable amount of money. 1989 was also when it was “Been there, done that” time in my life. To be a good enough musician to make it, one must practice, practice and then practice some more. Being just OK is not enough in music, or really any art form, to make it. As part of my photography workshops I constantly preach that we need to be able to “get around”… (a musician’s term) our cameras, know each function button and what they do like the back of our hand,. Unfortunately, I see folks buying expensive equipment, myriads of software, and all the latest and fastest lenses etc., all looking for that “magic pill” that will make it all fall into place. OK, so why an I telling this story? Note his opening line. Like this: Biography of Nature Photographer Clay Bolt | Clay Bolt Nature Photography.

IMPOSSIBLE - The Impossible Blog. Michael Cromwell Contemporary Fine Art Photography - Official Home Page. Mike C. Kev Vincent Photography. Blog - Spool Photography - Limited Edition Landscape Photography. March 17th, 2014 at 12:15pm A week or so back I visited Rottnest Island for a few days. There are a few ways to get across to the island, either by ferry, small plane or a mates boat. This year I went across by ferry that departs from Hillarys Boat Harbour, there is also one that departs from Fremantle, Hillary’s is closer to me. After a 40min cruise over I arrived there around 8.15amWhat a stunning island it is as well. Each day I would head out early on the bike and ride to a morning shoot at one of the bays. After the shoot I would head into the town area and grab a coffee and light breakfast before spending the rest of the day shooting the bays riding from one to another. I think I pretty much rode around the island twice in the time I was there.

Here is a short video of The Basin I shot while I was there plus my panoramic image of The basin I shot on the last day I was there.

A horse on the beach in the middle of Miami was quite a treat – and a pink horse at that. The horse was organised however we got a big surprise to find out it was pink.

Oh My Stars! The journal of jesh de rox. Nicole Mlakar Photography Blog » Austin, Texas: On-Location, natural light photographer. Photographing pets and their people. It’s pretty hard to keep a secret for over 8 months!! The wait is over and I can finally share the amazing news! This past January I had the pleasure of photographing 25+ dogs and cats for Whole Foods new pet food line, Whole Paws. The casting included tons of great cats and dogs, almost solely from Whole Foods employees. We all knew the challenges of photographing real pets, as opposed to animal talent, but luckily I have quite a bit of experience in that arena. Whole Foods also wanted natural environments for our pets so all dogs were shot on location at a downtown park and all cats were photographed in their homes. The cats had the better end of this deal since we unfortunately had a very chilly and cold two weeks of shooting. I’ve included all of the packaging below and some of my favorite outtakes from the shoots.

There’s also some really great in-store marketing in the pet aisle that utilized many of the images as well. Some of my favorite outtakes. Mike Moats. Talking pictures. Twigs and Tracks Photography. How to Photograph Artwork. Hello. The following tutorial is a relatively quick and simple how-to for photographing 2-D artwork such as paintings, textiles, glass-covered images, reproducing newsprint, and more.

I will also cover how to correct and post process the photographed artwork. I have found the easiest and most controllable way to photograph artwork is to use strobes or off-camera flash. If you are unfamiliar with off-camera lighting in general, I highly recommend you spend (a lot) of time reading and exploring www.strobist.com. Let's go over some basic gear needed to shoot artwork: A good lens, with no distortion or vignetting (see lens reviews at Photozone). For photographing wall-hung artwork, I have found that using two flashes, each on a lightstand and each reflected into an umbrella, the best setup.

As you can see, the light is falling evenly on the hooked rug in the image as the overlapping fading lights balance out. How to set up your lights and your camera: Post Processing Artwork Matt.
