10 Things I Learnt from Daily Shooting A Guest Post by David Powell from Shoot Tokyo Here are a few lessons I have learnt from daily shooting… I hope you enjoy. 1. “Do or Do Not…. There is no Try” A lot of people shoot daily as they are lucky enough to have a career in photography. Shooting daily isn’t hard. 2. To capture great images you need to have your camera with you. Having my camera with me allowed me to capture the events of the March 11th Earthquake in Japan as I was experiencing it and share it with my family, friends and ultimately strangers worried about their loved ones in Tokyo. Having a camera allowed me to capture this woman checking the news about the earthquakes while on a break. 3. One of the most interesting pictures you can take is of people. I have learnt to not be shy about asking if I can take someone’s photo and I am so pleased with the results I can get now… Check out this hip chick at Shibuya’s Hachiko… This beautiful girl passing through Shibuya Station… and dogs… 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Like light trails… 10.

Rolands Fotokurs: Schärfentiefe Ähnlich wie sich die (in der vorigen Lektion besprochene) Verwacklung kreativ nutzen lässt, indem Teilbereiche des Bildes scharf und andere verwischt erscheinen, kann man auch die Schärfe kreativ beeinflussen und je nach Situation beispielsweise den Hintergrund verschwommen erscheinen lassen, während das Hauptmotiv scharf erscheint. Möglich wird dies durch möglichst geschickte Beeinflussung der Schärfentiefe. Als Schärfentiefe wird der Bereich vor und hinter der Scharfstellebene bezeichnet, der auf dem Foto noch als scharf wahrgenommen wird. Das Bildbeispiel links (das manchen Lesern dieser Homepage schon von meiner Rom-Seite bekannt ist) soll dies verdeutlichen: Während die Tauben (einigermaßen) scharf abgebildet sind, liegt der Hintergrund schon nicht mehr im Bereich der Schärfentiefe, sondern ist leicht unscharf. In diesem Falle ist dies so gewollt, um die Tauben plastischer vor dem Hintergrund erscheinen zu lassen. Maßstäbe kennen wir z. Im Makrobereich kehrt es sich übrigens um.
5 Ideas to Kick Start Your Photography Again Image by Eric May Last week I was speaking with an amateur photographer who told me that he’s been struggling for photographic inspiration and ideas lately. He reflected that he felt like he’d become something of a lazy photographer and was in a bit of a rut – always photographing the same things in the same ways. I shared a number of ideas from my own experiences of seeking photographic inspiration (some of which I’ll share below) but it struck me halfway through the conversation that a lot of the ideas I was suggesting was actually about him limiting himself in his photography in some way – in order to find inspiration. Let me explain by looking at 5 photography ideas that I shared with him. Note: by no means am I suggesting that these are the only ways to get inspired – they’ve just helped me at times. 1. I wrote about this recently in a challenge here on dPS. Variation: another option for this is to choose a lens that you may not have used much before. 2. Image by Paul G 3. 4. 5.
Photogr.lens spec., guides, discussion and reviews- Photodo Free Photographer's Pricing Guide - How to Price Photography It’s confession time: I think that the majority of pricing guides for photographers are lame. That’s not to say that they don’t work, or that they aren’t worth the money that people sell them for. It’s just that most of the pricing calculators have some major flaw that makes them not nearly as effective as I think they could be. It’s for this reason that I decided to create an easy and straight-forward photography pricing guide for photographers that shows you how to price photography. Most pricing guides rely upon a multiplier that you have to come up with on your own to price your products. Not only that, but no pricing guide or pricing calculator did an decent job of determining business prices when your business offers both weddings and portraits or any other types of shoots. So I set off to create my own method of pricing that took various types of shoots into account and didn’t involve some random multiplier that I had to come up with.
