Friday Freebie – Top Ten Forums on the Internet
One of the most dynamic ways to share photos in real time is via photography forums. There are literally hundreds upon thousands to choose from. So…how do you know which ones to visit? Well, find a Forum Ranking post from bloggers like myself – usually you can find a few good ones from blog posts. So, on that note, here’s the Friday Folly – A Free Top Ten list of Photo Forum communities! Naturally, this list is highly subjective, and indicative of the ones that I have found useful for my own purposes over the last two or three years, … Continue reading
Tips for Photo Walks
Hey all, sorry for the late posting today – in the middle of the week I don’t have as much time to put material together. However, a few weeks ago Scot Sherman and Michael Stein took a photo walk with some listeners from their Digital Photography Show while in Vegas. That, in conjunction with a new site developed specifically for photo walks, made me start thinking about the keys for success to photo walks, and what our local group (The South Carolina Photography Guild) does on a regular basis. Since I had already offered to share those thoughts with Scott … Continue reading
Woot! Another Wisdom-filled Wednesday of Web Wonder!
As promised, here’s another set of things to inspire, amaze, and tantalize your senses from what I’ve been reading and seeing online in the last week or so. In the interests of keeping things from rounding out to increments of fives and tens (Sports Night reference – anyone know it, or am I alone in my vagaries?), here’s 6 links for Wednesday: Joe McNally’s Video on creating a shot of the Empire State Building (Although I think I posted this before – but worth a second watch anyway…) Earthbound Light – Very good site – particularly the photo tips archives … Continue reading
Tuesday Tricks and Treats (and a tutorial)
This Tuesday, I’d like to share some neat tricks I came across online. First, How to Light a Shot on Two Planes – this came courtesy of The Strobist (one of my regular reads) – plus it includes a really cool-looking shot of some Turkish Delight! Apparently he (David Hobby, Strobist author) did this workshop in Florida last weekend with industry folks like Scott Kelby and others from NAPP in the room – no, that wouldn’t be at all intimidating! Another neat treat I read about through PhotoJoJo was a blog where two friends who live a fair distance (3191 … Continue reading
A long weekend…
President’s Day has afforded many of us the pleasures of a long weekend. I took advantage of the opportunity by catching up on some over-needed Z’s, visiting with family, and making strides on the back car-port-turned-screened-in-porch. So, it’s now Monday afternoon and I am just now sitting down at the computer for some meaningful minutia to share. One fun little tidbit I got came from the Red Bubble community where a lot of fine art photography can be found. It seems many there are familiar with another community called EyeFetch. I know, there’s tons of communities out there, but these … Continue reading
