Compare Notes With Your Fellow Digital Photographers

One of the best ways to improve your digital photographic skills is to engage in an exchange with other digital photographers.

I can't tell you how much help I was able to get with film camera restoration and panoramic and stereo photography from various photographic forums, and more recently for my Kodak P880 digital camera, from various forums.

It hasn't all been take either; I've also helped a fair number of fellow photo buffs with their problems.

You'll meet all sorts of interesting people on these forums from rank amateurs to seasoned pros who are more than happy to share their years of experience and knowledge.

Here's an excellent general photography website with some helpful digital camera and photography forums.

Take a camera with you whenever possible, and look around, you'll find a picture somewhere.

Are More Megapixels Always Better For Digital Cameras?

Many people, especially Americans, think that bigger is better, and many times that's true, but not always.

Bigger is better for bank account balances but not necessarily for diamonds for example. A smaller stone with fewer or only tiny flaws looks better and is more valuable than a large one with visible flaws.

But many people are obsessed with numbers such as zoom lens ratios and these days the number of megapixels a digital camera's sensor has.

As I've said in past postings, there are other factors that determine the quality of a digital image besides the number of megapixels. Lens quality, the camera's onboard firmware, and the quality of the camera's digital sensor itself all contribute to the overall result.

Several years ago a friend had her wedding professionally photographed by a pro who used a ten state of the art Canon Rebel 6 mp DSLR.

The results were fabulous and looked as if the pictures were done with a mega bucks film camera such as a Leica or Hasselblad.

Now, we have digital cameras that boast sensors upwards of 13 mp. In fact even I have 8.3 and 9.3 megapixel cameras, modestly prices ones.

Does that mean that I would achieve better results than the pro did a few years ago? No, first off she's a pro and knows how to get the most out of a given camera, so that's a factor.

"Picture Your World", A Great Photography Blog

If you're an honest person, and I believe I am, you cannot be afraid to tip your hat to persons who do what you do, but better.

I found a photography blog that is authored by a highly accomplished young woman who has created some amazing images that I feel will provide inspiration for the rest of us.

Sheba Wheeler, the blog's owner, offers photo tips that are worth checking out, such as "wetting wood" before photographing it to bring out its subtle colors and textures.

I wish I had thought of that before taking the above picture.

Check out Ms. Wheeler's blog and draw some inspiration from it and learn how to be a better digital photographer.

Kodak Goes Digital Big Time

Now that the venerable Kodak Company has pretty much forsaken film for digital photography it seems that they just can't introduce new cameras fast enough.

Kodak which had only a few digital cameras for sale about 3 years ago, with just small differences between models, now has every imaginable type of camera in its lineup.

I'm still happy with my Kodak P880, and so far it hasn't given me any headaches although, like most complex devices it has had a few glitches and hiccups. Nothing really bad though, such as a total breakdown, or loss of all data has happened. I've only experienced the occasional failure to actually take a picture, even though it appears that it did, but at least you are aware of it and can take another.

Now Kodak is introducing a wide array of technically advanced, compact cameras, at very attractive prices, such as the Kodak M1063, shown above.

Rather than try to relate the details on all of Kodak's new models check out this page and click on the various links that take you to the details of all the new Kodak digital cameras.

Take a camera with you whenever possible, and look around, you'll find a picture somewhere.

Samsung Camcorder For YouTube Fans

Is there anyone out there who hasn't played around on YouTube at least for a little while?

Hey even I have over 100 videos on YouTube, which I shot for my "Playtime Las Vegas blog.

Well now, digital camera and camcorder manufacturers are starting to offer a recording option that allows the user to record video clips that are optimized and immediately available for upload to YouTube.

Now the well equipped videophile on the go can shoot a video, download it to a Wi-Fi enabled laptop, and instantly upload it to YouTube.

The Samsung SC-MX20 camcorder uses SD cards, provides 720x480 resolution, has a Schneider lens with 34X optical zoom, and allows 16:9 widescreen recording at a MSRP of $279.00.

Free Alternative To Adobe Lightroom And Apple Aperture

Adobe Lightroom and Apple Aperture are the two premiere digital photography post processing programs used by professional photographers.

Unfortunately, as good as they are, these programs are very expensive, and very complex, so not many amateur digital photographers use them.

However, there is an acceptable substitute, for amateurs, and it's free.

This video provides an introduction and explanation to "Bluemarine":

More Free Adobe Photoshop Tutorials

As complex as Adobe's Photoshop is it can always get a bit more complicated with the addition of 3rd party plugins and add-ons.

But that's part of the fun, especially for amateurs who want to experiment with different ways of presenting their digital images.

As a frustrated artist I enjoy manipulating images without the expense, mess, and bother of artist's paints and canvas, which I'll leave to those who have the talent to make something worthwhile.

But, I'm no expert with Photoshop and I rely on other people who have the expertise to figure out how to use the features of this sophisticated program to bring about the effects I want to emulate.

So, I look for tutorials and then pass the best of them on to you.

Here's how to use Photoshop for a haunted, grungy look.

This tutorial shows you how to use Photoshop blending modes and opacities for stand out effects.

Digital Baby Photos

Taking baby pictures is something I haven't done very often and, in fact, the last time I did it was with a film camera.

So it's time to check out what others are doing with their digital cameras and babies.

The article I found has quite a few very innovative ideas in it including the use of "macro" for baby pictures.

Now I know that babies are tiny, but I never would have thought of using the macro setting for people pictures, but this digital photographer has some great ideas for using macro.

Check out this article about digital baby pictures and then find, or make a baby, and try these techniques.

It should be fun.

Shoot Some Fireworks With Your Digital Camera

Taking pictures of fireworks displays with film cameras was a tricky assignment and something greatly misunderstood by many amateurs.

One would have thought that fast film and long telephoto lenses would do the trick, when actually the opposite is true, unless the display was a long distance off. Fireworks photos come out best when you're up close and use short focal lengths, no more than 75mm equivalent, in my opinion.

Of course with digital cameras most of the guesswork is taken out of the equation; especially if your camera has a "fireworks" setting or program.

Check out these useful tips for taking great photos of great digital camera photos of fireworks.

Free Digital Photography Tutorials

One of the great things about the Internet is the availability of an almost endless amount of free information.

Libraries are great for borrowing books and other media; but to tell the truth, doing research there is quite tedious and time consuming.

Of course searching the Internet can be time consuming too, but at least you can do it from home, and whenever you want. However it's always nice when someone else does the "donkey work" for you and I found a site that should be of interest to digital photography enthusiasts.

"Digital Camera Photography Tips" is offering free tutorials covering all aspects of digital photography.

Let's Take A Digital Photo At The Same Time

Here's a concept I just discovered and it really appeals to me.

The organization, "World Wide Moment", has a goal of attaining peace on Earth, for at least one moment, on August 08, 2008, or, 08-08-08@08:08+08GMT.

The idea is that if everyone stops at that particular time and snaps a photo the world will have been at peace for that moment.

By doing so the photos will forever preserve what the world was like in various places for that moment.

World Wide Moment intends to store and display the photos both in galleries and online for all to see.

I think this is a cool idea and I intend to participate and I hope you will too.

Adorama Photographic Has Something For Everyone

Adorama Photographic has been an integral part of the bustling New York City camera scene for many years and it still is a one stop camera shopper's paradise.

Before we go any further I want to say that I have nothing to do with Adorama in a business sense. My remarks are based solely on my personal experience with them, as a customer, over a period of many years.

Suffice it to say that you can find nearly anything photographic at Adorama, be it digital or film, and my experience purchasing from them, over the Internet, has been problem free.

What I want to draw your attention to is the Adorama "100 Photographic Tips In 100 Days", a program that has been in progress for quite a while and ends in early July.

Olympus E-420 Digital SLR Review

The Olympus "E" series of Digital SLRs heralded some unique features including an electronic digital sensor dust cleaner and these cameras have met with widespread acceptance.

Free Online Digital Photography Course And Photo Critique

For any digital photographer who would like to take an online digital photography course without any pressure here's one that's just starting.

This course is being offered, for free, by a friendly digital camera fan that enjoys sharing her knowledge and experience but still considers herself a beginner.

This strikes me as a good place for noobies, and not so noobies, to exchange ideas and get a feeling for what others at their own level are accomplishing.

The Camera That's Also A Phone And More

Wow, cell phones with a digital camera feature are still relatively new, and now we have what can only be described as a digital camera with telephone features.

Alexander Graham Bell could never have envisioned this device that replaces a bag full of gizmos and is available at a reasonable price.

Oh, did I mention that this camera/phone is also a GPS device?

With the Sony Ericsson Cybershot C905 digital camera cell phone you can get directions to your destination, listen to the stereo FM radio along the way, take pictures and videos when you get there, and then call your friends and email them the pictures and videos.

By the way the image sensor is 8.1 mega pixels and it has a true Xenon tube flash.

Here's all the details and specs of the Sony Ericsson Cybershot C905 camera phone.

Take a camera, or now, a high quality cell phone with you whenever possible, and look around, you'll find a picture somewhere.

Can You Be Arrested For Using Your Digital Camera In Public?

With terrorist related news being broadcast almost non-stop on TV it's easy to understand why there's an increased alertness towards suspicious activity of any kind.

But what is "suspicious activity", and who decides what should, and shouldn't be allowed.

There have always been locations where photography is prohibited, such as art museums, because electronic flashes can, over a long period of time, harm the paintings, or so I'm told.

Other reasons include copyright infringement, privacy and religious reasons, but now we have situations where threats to security are the reason given.

Since 9/11 I've been hassled twice, once while taking pictures of a particularly attractive courtyard outside a small bank building, and again while on the roof of the New York New York Casino parking garage here in Las Vegas.

The first incident brought out the bank manager, who was extremely nervous and not very eager to get close to me. He showed visible signs of relief when I explained why I was taking the pictures and gave him my business card.

After a few minutes he looked around and agreed that the courtyard was nice and that he had no eye for art. I assured him that when I hit the Lottery I would make a large deposit in his institution.

As for the Casino incident, which yielded the above photo, I was told, by a bicycle riding security guard, that taking pictures of the "towers" was forbidden, due to security reasons. I was then figuratively thrown off the roof.

I'm not a lawyer but my rule of thumb is that if I'm on private property, such as the bank or casino, the owners make the rules. If they say go, I go, because they have the rights to allow or disallow any type of activity on their property, I don't.

Here's a rundown of what's going on in America, England, and a few other places with regards to photography and suspicious activity.

This link takes you to a website that has a listing of photographer's rights in America.

A simple search on Google will bring up photographer's rights in other countries.

Canon's Tiny Personal Digital Photo Printers

Do you want or need the convenience and speed of a quality home digital photo printer with a small footprint?

If so, then a dedicated 4X6" digital photo printer may be the answer, and there are plenty of them from which to choose.

These small printers turn your digital camera into a sort of "Polaroid" instant camera and work wonders for parties and get-togethers because of their portability. In fact there are several models that operate off a battery pack so they can be used anywhere.

The drawback is that the per print cost is a bit on the high side but even so it's about the same as most "instant" print kiosks but you have the convenience of printing when and where you want.

Here are the latest compact Canon digital photo printers to get you started on your search.

Win A Digital Photo Contest

Everyone who takes pictures has a few that they are especially proud of and some of these appeal to other people as well.

These are the pictures you should enter in photo contests; but only, in my opinion, those without an entry fee. Contests owners should make their money off of advertising and not from contestants, without whom there wouldn't be any contests.

With summer in full swing there should be plenty of picture taking opportunities whether you travel or not.

Here's a digital photo contest that is family vacation oriented but from what I can see almost any subject will do.

Have fun and good luck!

Digital Photography Is More Than Taking A Picture

Except for the most basic of snapshots most digital photographers realize that the creative process does not begin and end with the click of a shutter.

With film, or "wet process" photography, after the film is exposed it has to be developed and then prints made from the negatives. This isn't as straight forward as it sounds, if you do your own darkroom work, as I did.

Unless you want "just a picture" there are many variables, too numerous to mention here, that go into dark room work, to produce a print that is more than just OK.

As much as digital cameras changed and simplified photography, there is still some "post processing" to be done on your computer, if you want more than just an average image.

As frustrating as some graphics programs can be, believe me, they're a lot easier, neater, and less expensive than "wet process", which also requires a separate room, in which you work in the dark.

Check out this interesting article, on an amateur's digital photography blog, and see how his experiences have led to better digital photographs.

Innovative Sony Alpha DSLR A350 Review

Sony's Alpha A350 camera is the latest in their popular Alpha line of cameras and this one is a dazzler that boasts some innovative technology.

The most impressive new feature is the addition of a second sensor dedicated to the viewfinder to provide a real time image without introducing any shutter lag.

Check out this thorough review of the Sony Alpha DSLR A350 digital camera and see if it impresses you.

This camera, with its staggering 14.2mp sensor, and vast array of pro features, with an ease of use factor similar to a sophisticated point and shoot seems like a winner to me.

Should You Enhance Your Own Digital Photos?

My immediate reaction to my own question is, yes, of course, but, there may be times when you might want someone else to do it for you.

The beauty of digital photography is that it is economical compared to film; you only pay for what you print. So it behooves the digital photographer to shoot multiples of every subject, if you can.

Sometimes you can't, and if you have an image that you want to print, but it isn't up to snuff, and it's the only one you have, there is the option of digital manipulation, or enhancement.

My advice is to use the graphics program that undoubtedly came bundled with your digital camera, or any other one you may have and give it a try. You have nothing to lose, as long as you keep the original file intact and unaltered. Always work on a copy of the original.

If you can't obtain an acceptable result and you just have to have that picture then you may want to have the photo professionally enhanced.

Check out this article about your options for professional digital photo enhancement.

Take a camera with you whenever possible, and look around, you'll find a picture somewhere. See full article.

Picture Your Kids

© eva serrabassa

If you have a kid or kids then chances are you also have a digital camera.

Because my father was an avid amateur photographer I have plenty of well done pictures of myself and my family; most of which were taken with box and folding cameras.

I enjoy dragging them out and reminiscing and I've provided family members with pictures of themselves and others courtesy of my scanner and printer.

Make sure you take the best pictures possible of your tykes and I'm sure they'll treasure them for the rest of their lives.

Read this article that will help you get the most out of your digital camera when photographing your kids.

Take a camera with you whenever possible, and look around, you'll find a picture somewhere.

What Will The Digital Cameras Of The Near Future Be Like?

It's always fun to speculate about the future; particularly when it doesn't involve matters that are serious, such as retirement planning.

I used to be an avid fisherman and I always had what was considered state of the art equipment. I haven't fished in many years, for one reason or another, mostly poor health, but recently I took a look at some current gear and I was amazed at the technical advances that have been made.

The same holds true for digital cameras. The cameras I salivated over a mere 5 years ago, but couldn't afford, have been supplanted by far better ones that are smaller and much more affordable.

If you're impressed by what's available now check out this article about what the near future holds for fans of digital photography.

Digital Camera Technology Moves At Light Speed

It's amazing just how fast digital camera technology moves along.

A little over a year ago I reported on this little wonder from Canon which combined the best aspects of a digital camera and digital camcorder into a compact package.

At the time I said that I wanted one, but it was a bit pricey for my limited discretionary income, and it went the way of most of my pipe dreams.

Now 15 months later we have cameras such as the new Canon Digital IXUS 85 IS ringing in with a 10 megapixel sensor and other advanced features, in a package that is amazingly small.

Now, it isn't as versatile as the aforementioned Canon, but then it comes in at about a third the price and has all the features a serious amateur on a budget could want.

The Canon IXUS 85 IS also has a movie mode that yields respectable results for a device designed primarily as a digital camera, and don't forget that it is 10MP, whereas the Canon of 15 months ago was only a bit over 5MP.

OK, the other Canon took HD video on mini DVDs, but hey, it couldn't be tucked into a shirt pocket, and with the money left over one can now buy a dedicated HD camcorder that records to flash memory and have the best of both worlds.

Saturday Is Digital Photo Day At CVS

In case you haven't noticed there's been a war of sorts going on among the places, both online, and bricks and mortar that offer digital photo processing.

You can find lower and lower prices on digital printing and other services as well as other incentives.

If there is a CVS Pharmacy near you, you're in luck because they have reinstituted their "Digital Saturdays", from 2-4pm.

Their digital photography experts will be on hand to conduct workshops and demonstrations and to answer your questions about digital photography.

CVS is also offering 50 free digital prints via their online upload service for anyone who signs up, using their CVS club card, on their online digital print center.

I've used this service and found it to be quick, high in quality and reliable. You upload your digital photo files, indicate the location of the CVS store you want them sent to and in a couple of days they're there, and at a low price.

Your free digital photo club membership will also get you other incentives such as the one I got a few days ago for a free 5X7 or 8X10 print.

Great Video For Digital Camera Owners

For all you digital camera owners who have put off trying to use the "Manual" setting on your camera this video is for you.


Digital Photography Tips: Exposure, Shutter Speed And Aperture

This video provides a brief but thorough explanation of the basics of controlling Exposure, Shutter Speed, and Aperture, which will allow you to achieve results that cannot be obtained with any of your camera's automatic or "scene" settings.

You can "tailor" your photos to emphasize or de-emphasize certain elements by controlling light and depth of field and turn an ordinary scene into one that is dramatic.

Of course you can also take several shots using "Auto" and/or any other settings you want to insure that you get an acceptable picture and then you can make changes or corrections at home by using a digital photo graphics program.

Try it, you have nothing to lose, and because it's digital you only pay for what you print so there's no waste.

After you view the video click the link beneath it and see what other video tutorials are available at the "Picturesocial" website.

Take a camera with you whenever possible, and look around, you'll find a picture somewhere.

A program called "Dibble Pro" is claimed to enhance your digital images to a far greater degree than run of the mill digital graphics programs.

The reason for this is that "Dibble Pro" is tailored to provide otherwise unavailable enhancements for specific digital cameras and lenses rather than relying on generalized parameters.

Here's a detailed report on this new technology; so check it out and see if this program will give you better digital camera images.

Take a camera with you whenever possible, and look around, you'll find a picture somewhere.
