Leonard Nimoy’s Passion for Photography

In a 2004 interview with The Republican, Nimoy shared the challenges of having an interest in photography...

read moreWedding Planner: The Biggest Hat You’ll Often Wear as a Wedding Photographer
Let’s discuss the reality of being a working wedding photographer. I’m not talking about being a ‘rockstar’ photographer who charges 25K and shoots a single-digit amount of weddings every season. I’m writing from the perspective of a hustling wedding pro working day in and day out in the thick of it all to earn a decent living. Before I dive into how wedding photographers have also become stand-in wedding planners and how I have changed my business to accommodate this need (and create a nice selling point to potential...
read moreThe Album Cover Photos in This Video Are Not What They Seem
The band Guster recently released this video version of their entire album Evermotion. Upon first glance, it may look like a 38-minute video with different album covers displayed statically while the music plays — as is common for this type of video — but look a little closer or watch a little longer and you’ll notice that it’s actually the band sitting (almost) perfectly still to fake the appearance of still photographs.

read moreWeekly Photography Challenge – Using a Small Aperture
A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt Time to try out your aperture range. Last week you were encouraged to shoot wide opened using a large aperture. Now you need to crank it the opposite direction and get some maximum depth of field in this weekly photography challenge of using a small aperture. By Michael Chen Weekly photography challenge First let’s define small aperture. Usually when photographers talk about a large aperture it’s in the f/1.8 to f/4 range. Small apertures would include f/11 and smaller (f/16-f/32). What that means is the...
read more24 Uber Sharp Images with Huge Depth of Field to Focus Your Attention
A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt Over the last few weeks on dPS we’ve had some collections of images that demonstrate some of the basic photography principals. Last week it was using a large aperture for shallow depth of field. This time we’re going the other way and looking for images with a lot of depth of field, ones that utilize small apertures like f/16 or even smaller. These are usually images with a lot of depth and focus from near to far. Landscape photographers use this technique often as do, surprisingly, macro shooters. When you...

read moreGetty Images is Burning Through Cash as Its Earnings Shrink
Photographers often grumble about Getty Images taking too big a slice from each stock photo sale, but it turns out the company hasn’t been lining its pockets with mountains of cash generated by its contributors — in fact, it hasn’t been doing so hot financially as of late. A report published by Bloomberg reveals that the company has been burning through cash in recent months due to declining earnings. In just the last 3 months of 2014, the company used up 1/3 of its cash reserves, seeing its balance fall from around $41 million...

As a tribute to Photoshop for its recent 25th birthday, Lynda created this “before there was Photoshop†video that shows the darkroom tools and techniques that were used by film photographers before Photoshop and digital photography arrived on the scene. Photographer Konrad Eek works on a print by dodging, burning, adding gradients, using masks, feathering, and more. If you’ve never made a print in a darkroom before, this video could be quite illuminating. Source Article from...
read moreHow I Drastically Improved My Photography with Just Two Little Decisions
The question I get asked the most is: “Wow, nice pic! Which camera are you using?†Does that sound familiar? In the past, every time I heard this question I would answer in the same way: by telling people which camera I was using, but that it didn’t really matter in my opinion. Beginners and hobby photographers usually expect that, if they can only save enough money to buy much better equipment, this will improve their results in a linear way. Maybe that’s the reason so many people are buying DSLR cameras without knowing how or...
