Great Food Photography: October 2017

Tuesday, October 31, 2017

A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon a photo I selected for Photographer of the Day. It was of a skateboarder at a skate park, doing some tricks. Needless to say, I was inspired. I really had never tried to capture skateboarding in action, but I knew that with a few extra tools, I could…

History of Photography: Industrialization

In the late 1800’s the world was beginning to take shape into something more of what it looks like today. Industrialization was coming to cities and taking them, literally, to the next level. Ships were being built larger and larger. Railroad systems were being expanded into uncharted territory. Industrialization brought birth to a lot of…

Create Custom Emails In Lightroom

Using a combination of Facebook messaging, emails or text messages to inform a client their images are available for viewing can get complicated. A simple solution is to develop a consistent workflow and stick to it.

Strap On a Platypod Ultra

I found a location that is quite picturesque. A wooden bridge over a creek featuring a waterfall was a very busy entrance into a subdivision. There wasn’t room to safely use a tripod. I came up with two solutions. Both thanks to the new Playtpod Ultra. Tree, meet Platypod Ultra I found a tree next to…

Dark Photography – A selection of images form our #ThursdayTheme

It’s less than a week until Halloween and so, for last week’s #ThursdayTheme, we wanted to see your ‘dark photography’. These ‘dark’ images are absolutely stunning and just proves the level of talent we have within this amazing group. Thanks again to everyone who entered an image, you certainly know how to wow us!

#FridayFoto was created by Kev Parker this week!

Here’s what Julie had to say about Kev’s image:

“It’s one of those ‘stop scrolling and do a happy sigh’ images. I love a lot about it.

I’m a bit of a sucker for labradors having grown up with a spectacularly stupid and lovable one. There is a gentleness about this dog which has been captured beautifully. I can’t stop looking at that tired but glowing amber eye. So gorgeous!

The light is stunning. That yummy side sunlight against the brown fur and the reflections in the water. If this was my furry pal I would treasure this until the end of time.

Thanks Kev!”

Would you really buy a Platypod?

Seeking Moonrise

No, this isn’t about an eclipse of the moon, or sun. Or even about the moon for that matter. Rather, it’s about finding a photograph, and a realization that, as the proverb goes, you can’t step in the same river twice…because the water has changed. My wife and I were in Albuquerque, in good measure…

How to Use Plugins with the New Lightroom CC

I keep hearing the question, can I use plugins with the new Lightroom (aka Lightroom CC). While Lightroom Classic CC (formerly Lightroom CC) fully supports third-party plugins like Perfectly Clear Complete or Macphun Luminar, the new Lightroom CC is a bit different. NOTE: We’ve got 3 specials sales for plugins Perfectly Clear. (with Free Upgrade…

Emotional Photography – A selection of images from our #ThursdayTheme

Last week our #ThursdayTheme was ‘Emotions’ and you guys shared so many of your emotional images – I hope you have your tissues ready! Thank you to everyone who took part again this week – you’re all amazing!

#FridayFoto is this tear jerker from Jennifer L. Norrick!

Here’s what Julie had to say about Jennifer’s image:

“I can’t imagine a more fitting entry. If you missed the story behind this image – this mum is not only crying with joy and relief that her newborn baby has made it safely into the world, she’s also crying tears of grief having lost her younger sister earlier in the day.

Birth photographers are so privileged to be party to these amazing moments in the delivery room and beforehand but I can’t imagine how challenging and emotionally draining it must be too.

For me – capturing moments and expressions like this is what birth photography is all about. The way it is. Raw and beautiful and intense.

Thank you for sharing this with us Jennifer!”
