It follows the Earth on our yearly trips around the sun. It’s a constant companion, ever changing and moving across the sky. It’s our moon. And it can be one of the trickiest objects to photograph. It’s existence as a wonderful reflector of light, most of the time against a black night sky, and its [...]
Photo by Mr Bones – No exposure settings supplied Today, as a followup to our post earlier in the week A Beginners Guide to Capturing Motion in Your Photography I want to post a series of posts from Flickr that all illustrate a variation on the same theme – movement. The following shots are all [...]
Among the features listed on our recent review of the new powerhouse Canon EOS 7D is wireless flash control. Sought after by many photographers, this version 1.0 feature has some useful capabilities thanks to the addition of a popup flash to Canons X D line. Controlling flash ratios, as well as exposure, from the camera [...]
During a recent trip to Hawai’i’s Big Island I was treated to a wonderful volcano tour thanks to KapohoKine Adventures. We toured around a number of sites and had the great fortune to watch fresh lava from Kilauea pour into the sea. The majesty of watching an island be built right before my eyes, and [...]
I’ve been into rock climbing on and off for the past couple of decades. About the same amount of time I’ve been into photography (but that’s been more on than off). It hasn’t been until recently, though, that I’ve become interested in marrying the two in something more than an accidental way. After trying my [...]
Judging by the amount of participation and the wonderful perspectives exhibited, last month’s monthly critique was a hit here at DPS. While I won’t be completely abandoning the original format (select DPS writers chime in and we ask for your input as well) I will be mixing in more “You Make The Edits” posts. Last [...]
Photo by GoGoJingo If you want to have a little fun with your digital camera next time you go out with it, have a go at experimenting with the zoom effect. In essence the zoom effect is a picture which look like the subject is either moving towards or away from you with motion lines. [...]
I’m good at messing up stuff. I’ll admit it. Take for instance the photo above. It is the final shot I took of many while in the Kazumura Cave on the Big Island of Hawaii. And it still needs help. In a recent post here on DPS entitled 14 Tips For Cave Photography, I explained [...]
Hawai’i’s Big Island is rife with photography opportunities, including those below the surface. I recently was a guest on an underground tour of the Kazumura Cave, the world’s longest lava tube with a length over 40 miles. While I didn’t explore the whole length (only a small fraction) this was my second time in a [...]
Our last Monthly Critique featured an image from Lynne Daley with a dream-like quality. This process is sometimes called the Orton Effect and Helen Brady laid out a great tutorial for producing such images using only one image in her article The Orton Effect: Mimicking darkroom processes in Photoshop. For those looking to create the [...]
