| Landscape Photography Post-Processing in Lightroom: Start to Finish Posted: 22 Jun 2013 04:23 PM PDT Quick Reminder: Only a few days left! in the popular deal on: Lightroom Made Easy at 30% Off This week, Adobe released Lightroom 5, which adds even more sophisticated editing tools to its repertoire. Photographers who have already been using prior versions of the powerful software for processing their images know that it can help make a drab RAW file into a stunning work of art. See how French photographer Serge Ramelli used Lightroom to process a landscape scene of Venice from start to finish (for those of you reading this by email, the video tutorial can be seen here): Starting with the “before” image below, Ramelli adjusted his photograph using the following Lightroom workflow: Before:
After:
This tutorial demonstrates what a difference a few minutes of adjustment in Lightroom can do to enhance a photograph without the use of any other post-processing software. For Further Training, Discount Ending Soon:With every version Lightroom gets better and better, but every time they change things up it means time re-learning the software and adapting its new features. Pro photographer Phil Steele has updated his popular training course to educate photographers on how to master all aspects of the program (including version 5) and we were able to negotiate for our readers a 30% discount which ends in a few days.

| Interesting Photo of the Day: The Edge of the Earth Posted: 22 Jun 2013 02:17 PM PDT Rising 530 ft above sea level, South England’s Beachy Head is the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain. Standing on it gives one a stunning panoramic view of Eastbourne and the English Channel. Its sheer size and prominence have long made it a landmark for sailors, as well as one of the region’s more popular tourist attractions:  Beachy Head rises above the clouds. The image has several strengths — from the wonderful warm light, the precarious vantage point, and the presence of sea mist which, to the uninitiated, almost look like clouds. But what really completes the photo are the men silhouetted in the far end of the cliff. It gives the viewer a sense of scale of the majestic landscape that is Beachy Head.

| A Tragic Story of Caution for Street Photographers Posted: 22 Jun 2013 01:34 PM PDT Street photographers are notorious for producing gritty, candid pictures of daily life in urban locales. Unfortunately, taking photos of strangers can sometimes incite unpredictable aggression and even violence. Twenty-three-year-old Christine Calderon was fatally stabbed on June 18th after taking a cell phone picture of panhandlers holding up cardboard signs in Hollywood. The accused perpetrators are three transients, who apparently demanded payment for the photo. Alleged reports say that when Calderon refused to pay, she was attacked on the crowded sidewalk near the Walk of Fame. Learn the details of the story by watching the following report (for those of you reading this by email, the news report can be seen here): Below is the photo that led to this tragedy:
With some exceptions, United States law generally allows for photographers to take pictures freely in public spaces without consent from subjects. However, safety precautions should always be taken to avoid unnecessary conflict between you and the people you choose to photograph. Safety Tips for Street Photographers

| Classical Posing and Portrait Lighting Photography Techniques Posted: 22 Jun 2013 11:33 AM PDT Mastery of portrait photography entails knowledge of lighting and posing techniques. In this video, renowned photography instructor Frank Dispensa takes us through the fundamentals of good posing for both male and female subjects. Along the way, he gives a quick lecture on light metering and lighting contrast ratios (for those of you reading this by email, the video tutorial can be seen here): During the course of his lecture, Frank discusses how the near/far and high/low relationship of shoulders and hands create diagonals within the image, which lead to a strong, dynamic composition. He gives pointers on head tilt and body angle with respect to the direction of the light, how the gender of the subject affects these angles and why. He walks us through sitting and standing subject positions, shooting the classic two-thirds view, and shooting the less common but equally important profile view.
Whether you are a novice trying to learn the basics or and advanced photographer looking to brush up on your portrait skills, the hour-long seminar should provide a wealth of information. Go to full article: Classical Posing and Portrait Lighting Photography Techniques |
