admin — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 10:27:36 +0000

Stumbled over at twitter yesterday, this list of Photography Rules for Complete Idiots gave me a good laugh. The author doesn’t mean to make fun of the newbies, but reading on, there are indeed amateurs who don’t make use of their common sense. There are concepts that don’t take a genius’ capacity to realize and comprehend.

Here are a few examples of the hilarious rules:

Tips on Shooting Baby Pictures.

admin — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 10:45:09 +0000

Here are some more tips and warnings from eHow on how to take photographs of babies easier and with better results:

* When your baby has learned to sit up but is not yet crawling is typically the easiest time to get really good photos.
* Take unusual close up shots of your baby, such as his ear, hands or toes.
* When taking a picture inside, try to do so near a window. Make sure that the light source is not behind your baby.
* It can be very frustrating to get a really good picture of your baby. Babies don’t understand or care about posing or getting that ‘great hot.’ Take your time and be patient!
* Make sure that your camera has a fast shutter speed or you’ll have dozens of pictures of baby shaped blurs.

You need not be Anne Geddes to take the loveliest baby shots. Personally, the best tip that works among the given above is “take your time and be patient!” It isn’t in the camera, or in the skills, but the moments captured are what matter most in shooting baby pictures.

Nikon DSLRs Digitutor.

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 10:03:00 +0000

If you are a novice user and owner of a Nikon DSLR camera (or you just want a refresher course), check out Nikondigitutor.com for a brief yet very helpful beginner’s tutorial depending which Nikon model you may have. Thanks to the Nikon Philippines Fan Page at Facebook, of which I am a member, it prompted me to this tutorial site.

The tutorial consists of guidelines and tips 1.) before shooting and getting started – which tackles topics about the camera (lenses, battery, memory card, strap, viewfinder focus, and the shooting information display) 2.) taking pictures – which discusses about the different modes: auto, portraits, landscape, flash, landscape and closeups; and 3.) after shooting – quick retouch, making movies, RAW processing and other retouch options.

We’ve been using our Nikon D60 for a couple of years now and we’ve learned so much about this tutorial like the use of auto (flash off) mode, tips on how to capture better in portrait and landscape modes. This tutorial has made me more interested with photography now and I’m loving our D60 more than ever.

How To Look Thin and Slim in Photos

admin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 03:28:38 +0000

While waiting for the effects of the best weight loss supplement, do you know that you can master how to look slim, trim and thin in your photos without having to learn Photoshop or hiring an expensive photo retouching expert?

The secret? It’s in the pose. Here’s a few tips I gathered from the web on how to “cheat” your looks:

1. Turn partially sideways to the camera. Plant one foot in front of the other by pointing your toe to the camera and place your weight on your back foot.
2. Make sure that the photographer takes the picture on level and does not snap the picture from below.
3. Use objects like purse, corsage or jacket you are holding to your advantage by placing them in front of parts of you you’d prefer to hide.
4. To minimize appearance of a double chin, pull head forward slightly.
5. Hold arms slightly away from your body. This keeps upper arm flab from flattening out and therefore appearing flabbier (much like thighs do when one sits on a couch).
6. Cross your legs a little to make them look more slim.

And most importantly, just relax, smile naturally and forget about looking thin.

Ebook Search Engine.

admin — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 03:20:28 +0000

Learning about photography doesn’t need one to attend costly seminars, professional courses and trainings. There is internet that you can easily search on for tips, basic techniques, galleries and fora about everything photography related. There are also called ebooks search engine where you even download free pdf manuals or in some other formats like .doc, .txt, .rtd and powerpoint file. You can either search a particular topic, by episode, by country, by author or by title if you know of a photography e-book file. I tried searching one for myself and I stumbled upon a nice reference about basic photography techniques: from the basic camera settings, to composition, metering modes and all those basic stuffs. Thanks to these ebook search engines, researching is indeed made easier.
