| How to Create a Black Background Anywhere with this Photography Trick Posted: 10 Jun 2013 03:05 PM PDT Many portrait photographers dream of owning a studio with all the bells and whistles. However, some photographers who work on-location in less-than-ideal surroundings are able to make their images look as if they were taken in a studio. One of these resourceful photographers, Glyn Dewis, produces outdoor portraits that have a studio look without using a backdrop. He reveals his secret for creating an invisible black background in this short tutorial (for those of you reading this by email, the video tutorial can be seen here): Dewis effectively produces a studio photography look while shooting outside in a parking lot with just an umbrella and a Canon Speedlite.
Follow these steps to create the look of a black background without purchasing a backdrop or using post-production tricks:
This is a handy trick that can be used in almost any situation to make your photos look as if they were taken in a studio. Go to full article: How to Create a Black Background Anywhere with this Photography Trick |
| Timelapse Photography Showing the Amazing Power of Hawaii’s Volcanoes Posted: 10 Jun 2013 01:16 PM PDT Having photographed each of the United States’ 59 National Parks, professional landscape photographer QT Luong is no stranger to capturing the magnificent vistas of the natural world. An experienced outdoorsman, he cherishes the challenges that come with the shots that he wants to take, whether it be scaling tall mountains, traversing lonely streams, or trekking scorching sand dunes. But when he came to Hawaii to capture the beauty of its many volcanoes, he faced an entirely different kind of challenge. How does one capture the dynamic nature of the ever-changing volcanic landscape in a still photo? You simply can’t. The answer lay in doing a timelapse (for those of you reading this by email, the timelapse video can be seen here): For the project, QT set aside his old dependable large-format camera in favor of something more modern. He used Canon 5D Mark II and 5D Mark III cameras with an assortment of lenses. Post-production was done on Adobe’s workhorses — Lightroom, Photoshop, After Effects, and Premiere Pro, among others. It’s a labor of love that was two years and hundreds of man-hours in the making. And the resulting video is nothing short of breathtaking.
For Further Training on Time-lapse Photography:There is an in-depth guide (146 pages) to shooting, processing and rendering time-lapses using a dslr camera. It can be found here: Time-lapse Photography Guide Go to full article: Timelapse Photography Showing the Amazing Power of Hawaii’s Volcanoes |
| Using Multiple Exposures in Action Photography Posted: 10 Jun 2013 12:29 PM PDT When you first take a look at photographer Marcelo Maragni’s images, you might think that they’re a product of Photoshop. But the truth is they’re all created in camera. Maragni’s photos are created with multiple exposures. In the film days, a multiple exposure occurred when the strip of film did not advance to the next frame causing the same frame to be exposed twice. This created overlapping images, and while it was originally the result of a mechanical failure or mistake on the part of the photographer, it has become an area of experimental photography (for those of you reading this by email, the video can be seen here): The great thing about shooting multiple exposures with digital is that you can choose which two photos to combine. Most DSLRs will have a multiple exposure function that will allow you to go through your images and preview how the two would look like combined together. The results can yield unique and unexpected photos. Perhaps the most fun part of creating multiple exposures is that it means you get to spend more time shooting and less time at the computer. But, like photography itself, creating multiple exposures is both an art and a science. You’ll need to learn how bright areas will look on dark areas, and vice versa, when creating multiple exposures. But seeing as you can’t live view the how the final image will look, a bit of guessing and experimentation will be needed as well.  It’s not Photoshop, it’s multiple exposures!
