As a parent, there’s nothing greater than capturing priceless moments.

On this particular day, my son decided to have a little food fight with a neighboring wall. He was victorious. The wall never threw any food back. Much like a champions parade, he was carried to the “time out chair” to spend a few minutes reveling in his glorious win…or at least, that’s what he thought was happening. Once he realized he was on time out, the puppy dog eyes and pouty lips where engaged. While he sat in the chair, I realized this would be a perfect opportunity to grab a portrait. Much like I always do, I make sure and grab the shot first because you never know how long that moment will last. TIP: I don’t recommend shooting portraits between 18-24mm on your kit lens.

8 Effects Every Photographer Should Know About. TSO Photography. Add Lens Flare To Your Image The Right Way. I’m sure most of you have taken one look at the lens flare filter in Photoshop and decided to quickly over look it. Well I am here to say that you might want to reconsider and give it a chance.

With the right steps and processing one can actually make it look decent. Now I’m sure there will be a few people that will still think adding flare is asinine, and to that I say to each their own. Before you start this process you should shoot or choose an image that would already look believable having had flare. Make sure there is a directional light source that you can exaggerate with the flare. I see a lot of lens flare that is irrationally added and the image will tend to be very “cheesy” for lack of a better word. Once in Photoshop always make a duplicate layer. So now you have this flare but it is a blueish light that probably does not match your subject. It is now where i do all my dodging and burning and selective sharpening. Here are some more before and afters. Related In "FS News"

Lens Filters Explained. Camera lens filters can serve different purposes in digital photography. They can be indispensable for capturing scenery in extremely difficult lighting conditions, they can enhance colors and reduce reflections or can simply protect lenses. Filters are widely used in photography and cinematography and while some only use filters in rare situations, others rely on filters for their everyday work. For example, landscape photographers heavily rely on various filters, while street and portrait photographers rarely get to use them.

Since digital photography is all about the quality and intensity of light, lens filters are often necessary to modify the light before it enters the lens. Many photographers think that some of the built-in tools in Lightroom and Photoshop can simulate filter behavior, making filters redundant in the digital age. 1) What are filters and why should you use them? Why do you wear sunglasses? Let’s go through the different types of filters that are available today. In Camera Artistry: Using Any Light Source. StreetPhotography.
