Travel Photography Inspiration Project: France

France is more than just wine, the Eiffel Tower and more wine. As viewed through the lens of DPS readers and travelers, France has many other sides I have never seen, and I am thankful for those who wish to share not only a bit of the country, but also some tips on how to [...]

Induro PHQ-3 Head and CT-214 Tripod [REVIEW]

I hadn’t heard of Induro before the PR rep contacted me last Fall. I was preparing for a trip to Peru and took one look at the carbon fiber and multi-directional head and agreed. But lingering in the back of my mind was the question, “Do I really WANT that much freedom?” You see, the [...]

Photography As A Means For Societal Betterment

I don’t admire many people and I attempt to emulate even fewer. I try to be my own self. But I do admire Colby Brown and Nancy Farese. They both have found a way to combine two things I am passionate about; photography and philanthropy. They both took different tacks to combine these two activities [...]

Three countries down and about 200 to go. It’s time to check out South Africa for today’s post in the Travel Photography Inspiration Project’s. While this view of South Africa through the lenses of DPS readers does contain the expected wildlife found at the end of the continent, it will also highlight a mix of [...]

Technical Flash Applets From Stanford University Make Photography Learning Fun

At first I was standoffish when I found the link to Stanford’s applets. As much as I love photography, there was a lot of technical concepts listed that often had little to offer for the hobby photographer for whom I regularly teach.

Trigger Happy – Camera Control From Your iOS and Android Device

At first glance, the Trigger Happy project on Kickstarter looked like a bit of a gimmick. It looked like a fancy intervalometer hooked to an expensive iPhone. I already have an intervalometer, why do I need to bog down my beloved iPhone (or Droid) with the simple task of shooting pictures? Then I watched the [...]

Travel Photography Inspiration Project: Vietnam

From the architecture and history of Italy, we now focus the Travel Photography Inspiration Project’s lens to Vietnam. Vietnam has always been in the back of my mind as a travel photography destination, but I have yet to set foot in the country. From the moment the submissions you will find below started dropping into [...]

Creating Quality Slideshows

All those photos you have on your harddrive, what are you doing with them? Are they sitting there and then up on a website? Maybe a share on Facebook or Google+? Have you ever thought of presenting your work in a slideshow, or projected, exhibition? Presenting a slideshow of your work can be a very [...]

Travel Photography Inspiration Project: Italy

Rome. Venice. Architecture. Wine. Italy. It’s the stereotype we all know and so much more. And that’s why I am thankful for this installment in the DPS Travel Photography Inspiration Project because those who submitted photos have found another side of the country and reproduced it in beautiful photographs. They have taken the time to [...]

Tips For Shooting Time-Lapse Videos On A Plane With An iPhone

There is no doubt iPhones are becoming useful tools in the photography realm. The latest 8MP camera on the iPhone 4s has utility worth mentioning and using.
