read moreDirecting your Viewer’s Eyes with Lightroom to Make a More Powerful Image
A Post By: John Davenport One key to a successful photograph is that it directs the viewer’s attention towards the subject in question. There are many ways that this can be achieved through composition and lightning in the field, but did you know, you can also direct the attention of your viewer’s eyes through post-production? You still need an interesting subject for this to work, as directing your viewer’s eyes to a boring location within a frame is still going to result in a boring photograph. For the sake of this tutorial I’ll be...
read moreWhat’s NEX? Sony Alpha a5100 first impressions review
The new A5100 looks like a winner – basically a A6000 without EVF. i’d have loved a mag-alloy body, but even the A6000 is made out of plastic, that wasn’t possible, especially for the asking price. Besides that, the Alpha 5000 incl. the “infamous” 16-50 PZ Kit Lens costs here in germany (18.8. online price check) 379 EUR only, and the Alpha 6000 with the same Kitlens goes for 679 EUR here – so the A5100 Kit must be cheaper. Hopefully, in one year or less the A5100 doesn’t cost more than 400 Bucks with...

Sad to see they made the same cockup with the positinging of the NFC chip that they made on the A6000, where it doesn’t work for tablets, because the neck strap mount gets in the way and prevents the tablet getting close to the chip. it really needs to be on the underside, or the strap mount redesigned.

Sony has announce its new Alpha a5100 mirrorless camera, which takes the ‘guts’ from the a6000 and puts it into the compact body inherited from the NEX-5 line. The a5100 offers the same 24.3MP sensor with on-chip phase detection as the a6000, along with a 3″ LCD that flips up 180 degrees for taking self-portraits. The a5100 has impressive video features for its price, including support for the XAVC S codec, which allows for 1080/60p/24p recording at 50Mbps. The a5100 will be available in your choice of black or white next...

agree.star-trails belie shortcomings of still needing longer exposures of cameras faring poorly at higher ISOs so lower ISOs are used instead (pp stacking cheats not permitted) sensor development should be pushed so bright starry blue-sky moonlit earth landscapes can be single exposed for stills at under 4s, under 1s, etc, with ultra-clean noiseless high ISOs (even with smaller aperture diameters, say 3mm, etc, not always wide open). it would then lend itself more readily to landscape portraitures under the night starry moonlit skies am I the...

read moreHow to Calibrate your Monitor with the Spyder 4 Express
A Post By: Andrew S. Gibson If you want to obtain accurate colours in your photos in Lightroom (or indeed any other software), no matter what you may read elsewhere, you need to calibrate your computer monitor. If you don’t, the colours in your photos won’t be accurate, and you will never produce a print (or any other form of output, such as a Blurb book) that matches the colours on your screen. If you undertake client work, or sell your photos through stock libraries, it is essential to calibrate your monitor so that you know the colours...

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
