Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Killer Tips

http://lightroomkillertips.com/ I’ve heard a lot of talk about what happens to presets that were created in Lightroom 3 (or LR2) and now used in Lightroom 4. I know a lot of people have presets that they absolutely loved in Lightroom 3 and they simply don’t seem to look the same in Lightroom 4. That’s because of the differences in sliders in the Basic panel. Sliders that were in Lightroom 3 simply don’t exist in Lightroom 4. So Lightroom does it’s best to “guess” what the should look like but you’ll see it’s not always right on the money.

L’arrivo di Internet aveva rivoluzionato l’industria dei media già prima che i social network cambiassero radicalmente anche il giornalismo di oggi. Il desiderio della gente di essere sempre informata su tutto quello che succede, sia nella sfera privata, sia in quella pubblica, ha infatti portato ad un cambiamento nel comportamento collettivo. I social media hanno instaurato canali alternativi sui quali veicolare le news in tempo reale ad un audience potenzialmente illimitata. Se in passato le notizie venivano annunciate per la prima volta da agenzie e media tradizionali - quotidiani, telegiornali, radio - adesso lo scoop è più facile che arrivi tramite canali come Twitter e Facebook. Basta uno smartphone, una connessione, essere al posto giusto nel momento giusto ed il gioco è fatto. E’ nata questa figura nuova del ‘“prosumer”, l’utente che non solo consuma le news, ma le produce e le diffonde anche. http://www.clickblog.it/
1 — Introduzione Esposizione. Questa parola contiene sia una certa nozione di rischio che un certo grado di irrimediabilità. Una volta che l'esposizione è stata decisa e l'immagine realizzata, non c'è più modo di cambiare fisicamente questa esposizione. Tutto è finito, e bisogna fare i conti con i risultati del nostro operato, con la speranza che l'esposizione sia corretta e la fotografia abbia dettagli visibili sia nelle zone d'ombra che nelle zone di alte luci. Ma che fare se la fotografia non ha questi dettagli? http://www.fotoavventure.it/htdocs/freecontent/AB001_briot/AB6/AB6.php

Il Portale Della Fotografia Grande Formato

Bryan Peterson has written a book titled Understanding Exposure which is a highly recommended read if you’re wanting to venture out of the Auto mode on your digital camera and experiment with it’s manual settings. In it Bryan illustrates the three main elements that need to be considered when playing around with exposure by calling them ‘the exposure triangle’. Most importantly – a change in one of the elements will impact the others. This means that you can never really isolate just one of the elements alone but always need to have the others in the back of your mind. 3 Metaphors for understanding the digital photography exposure triangle: Many people describe the relationship between ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed using different metaphors to help us get our heads around it.

21 Settings, Techniques and Rules All New Camera Owners Should K

http://www.digital-photography-school.com/21-settings-techniques-and-rules-all-new-camera-owners-should-know As so many new camera owners are starting out with photography in the new year I thought I'd compile a list of photography tips and techniques that new camera owners might like to work through in the coming weeks. by Darren Rowse Some are very basic while others go a little deeper – but all have been selected from our archives specifically for beginners and new camera owners. Enjoy. 1.
http://digital-photography-school.com/40-questions-i-ask-myself-before-hitting-the-shutter-release Image by Darwin Bell The following was submitted by one of our readers – Jan Neault Phillips . It’s a little tongue in cheek (40 questions before every photo might be a little difficult, particularly if you’re photographing my kids who move at the speed of light) but also contains some good information on the type of things a photographer should be thinking about as they prepare for a shot (or perhaps for a ‘shoot’). With all the questions I’ve learned to ask myself over the last year, it’s a wonder that I still have my sanity, my passion for photography and the the willingness to learn it. Life was so much simpler when all I did was point and shoot! Certainly less stressful.

40 Questions I ask Myself before Hitting the Shutter Release

Slow Sync Flash

When shooting with a subject in low light situations you generally have two options; either to shoot with a flash or to shoot with a slow shutter speed. 1. Flash – When shooting in low light with a flash in auto mode your camera will choose a relatively fast shutter speed. This means that your subject will be well lit and that if it is moving it will be frozen and as a result will be sharp. The problem with this is that it can also leave your subject lit up too brightly and can leave it’s background looking very dark as there is not enough time for the camera to collect any ambient light. 2. http://digital-photography-school.com/slow-sync-flash

Slow Shutter Shoot-Out - 3 Slow Shutter Speed Techniques

http://digital-photography-school.com/slow-shutter-shoot-out-3-slow-shutter-speed-techniques Experimenting with Slow Shutter Speeds can be a lot of fun. Today Charles Clawson from blog.chaselliot.com sums up three types of slow shutter techniques and invites you show off your attempts at doing them. There have been some great articles and interest lately on long exposures so I thought I would put together a hodgepodge of techniques and then turn it over to DPS readers to see what they can come up with. I’ve broken this slow shutter shoot-out into 3 categories. When you submit your photograph, do it under one of these styles. I’ve thrown in a few of my own as examples into the article just to give you an idea.
http://digital-photography-school.com/10-ways-to-take-stunning-portraits How do you take Portraits that have the ‘Wow’ factor? Today and tomorrow I want to talk about taking Portraits that are a little out of the box . You see it’s all very well and good to have a portrait that follows all the rules – but it hit me as I was surfing on Flickr today that often the most striking portraits are those that break all the rules . Note : this post is an extract from our Essential Portrait Photography Tips E-book – Grab Your Copy Today! I want to look at some ways to break out of the mold and take striking portraits by breaking (or at least bending) the rules and adding a little randomness into your portrait photography . I’ll share ten of these tips today and a further ten tomorrow (update: you can see the 2nd part here ).

10 Ways to Take Stunning Portraits

Nels: On sunny days, the shutter speed is going to be very high anyway. Especially considering that I'm shooting fairly wide open for portraiture, typically F/1.4 to F/2.8. For multiple subjects, I do have to close down, sure, and that will bring the shutter speeds lower. But typically multiple subjects aren't moving very fast anyway :)

Compose with Fibonacci's Ratio for Phenomenal Photos

If you're looking for a way to draw more attention to the crucial elements in your photographic composition, the Fibonacci Ratio offers a way to direct your viewers eye to the critical parts of your photo. Earlier this year we highlighted another great composition rule, the Rule of Thirds, in our guide to getting more out of your point and shoot camera . Digital Photography School takes an interesting look at another composition rule, Fibonnacci's Ratio. Often referred to as the "divine ratio" because of the numerous places it appears in the natural world—such as the spiral of Nautilus shell—it offers a way to guide your viewer's eye to the area of the photo you want them to focus on. When applied to photography, this ratio can produce aesthetically pleasing compositions that can be magnets for the human sub-conscious. When you take the sweet spot of the Fibonnaci Ratio and recreate it four times into a grid, you get what looks to be a rule of thirds grid.
Whether it's before, during, or after you shoot, we've posted some awesome photography tips, tricks, and hacks this year. Here are the most popular for 2010. People are for portraits.

Most Popular Photography Tips, Tricks, and Hacks of 2010

Ultimo aggiornamento: 19/11/2007 La fotografia é la cattura della luce mediante la scelta dell'esposizione, quindi l'esposizione è la base fondamentale della fotografia. Capire bene come funziona l'esposizione (tempi, diaframmi, ISO) e tutti i vari argomenti collegati è indispensabile. E una volta capita bene, ci si accorge che improvvisamente si è in grado di comprendere il funzionamento della fotocamera (funzionalità e limiti) e soprattutto si comincia a fotografare, sul serio. Per esposizione si intende la modalità con cui si intende somministrare la luce all'elemento sensibile della fotocamera (nel caso delle fotocamere digitali, il sensore) ovvero l'esposizione è la produzione un'immagine mediante la cattura della luce opportunamente "modificata" dalla fotocamera. Nella fotografia digitale, esposizione vuol dire combinazione di quattro fattori fondamentali:

Questo articolo nasce come sunto di tutta la mia (limitatissima) esperienza di fotografia di matrimonio, e da quanto ho letto e raccolto nell'immenso mare di Internet. In parte si tratta di pensieri e opinioni personali, assolutamente contestabili e non condivisibili. Però spero possa servire a tutti i fotografi amatoriali come me che si sentono chiedere "Mi faresti le foto al matrimonio?".
