Fall Color Photography

Kevin Moss — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 14:27:28 +0000

Autumn. A favorite time of year for many nature photographers. For those lucky enough to live in areas where you have 4 seasons, right now, early October is a special time. In the northern latitudes, colors are at peak or just past. In many areas, fall color is just starting to appear, and that means its time for nature photographers to get out their digital cameras, tripods and a circular polarizer and get out and photograph fall color.

Kevin Moss — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 14:50:44 +0000

One of the trends that has been growing for advanced and enthusiast photographers is the use of image editing workflow software. The market is dominated by Adobe Lightroom and Apple Aperture. The first out of the gate a few years ago was Aperture, however dominating the space now is Adobe with its recent release of Adobe Lightroom 3. Both are top notch. Apple based professional photographers tend to favor Aperture as it is strictly for the Mac and integrates well with iPhoto. The rest of the world favors Adobe Lightroom. Which is better

Recent Photography Trend #7: Digital Infrared

Kevin Moss — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 13:39:04 +0000

Back in the film days, or BF (before digital cameras) a small breed of photographers would load up their 35mm cameras with infrared film (in the dark I may add!), attach special filters in front of their lenses, and pursue a true art of infrared black and white photography. It was difficult to work with at best. The photographer would have to store the film in cold temperatures, and never knew what type of results they would get from the film, you see, we didn't have immediate feedback like we do know with LCD's on our cameras.

Recent Photography Trend #10: The Return of Black and White

Kevin Moss — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 17:24:00 +0000

Black and white photography never really did go away, there is still a legion of fine art black and white photographers out there practicing their art. What digital photography has given us however is a greatly increased interest in photography as a whole, and with that increase a whole new slew of black and white photographers. What digital gives us what we really didn't have in the film days is an easy workflow... shoot everything in color, and convert to black and white later. This way, you get the best of both worlds. Your digital negative in color with the ability to convert to black and white whenever you get the whim

Adobe Announces Photoshop Elements 9

Kevin Moss — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 22:48:15 +0000

Photoshop Elements 9 uses powerful technology to make even the most complex results achievable for anyone. Adapted from Photoshop CS5’s celebrated Content Aware Fill feature, the content intelligence in the Spot Healing Brush analyzes what’s in the image and quickly de-clutters or repairs photos (like removing tourists from a crowded scene or an obstruction, such as a telephone pole) with a swipe of a brush, magically filling in the background. The same content intelligence synthesizes missing pixel information to create a stunning panorama from multiple photos, without leaving any gaps or blank spaces.

Blur as an Element of Composition

Kevin Moss — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 08:58:27 +0000

Not every image is a candidate for these types of techniques. After a while however, you'll start recognizing images that you'll want to experiment transforming into alternative photographs. I strongly suggest you start working on your abstract or blur portfolio, you may be pleased with the results, and you may be even more pleased with expanding your photographic horizons.
