What's In A Name? Any Suggestions For My iPhone App?

Hi Friends!

Dr. Dave Wilson, the developer of my iPhone app, and I are trying to come up with a creative, fun and descriptive name for my 1st iPhone app, due out before the end of the year. We could use your help.

The app helps SLR and compact camera shooters turn their snapshots into great shots. It's like having a pro in your hip pocket.

The tips, with interactive before-and-after examples, can be used for making better iPhone pix, too. It's pretty much an A-Z guide.

We sure would appreciate your ideas. If we pick yours, I'll send you one of my books!

Please post your suggestion here.... so we can keep track of all the suggestions. We'd need your real name, too. :-)

Note: app names must be short and sweet.

If you see a suggestion you like, please let us know.

Thank you.

Photo Expression Needed For the Young at Heart

One of my favorite t-shirts shows a guitar and has this phrase printed on it: If it's too loud, you're too old.

That got me thinking. Some photographers only like straight shots; they are against digital enhancements, most recently when it comes to HDR images, such as the one pictured here.

So I thought we need a photo expression along the lines of my t-shirt. However, I can't come up with one. If you have any ideas, fill in the blank and post your suggestion here.

If it's too _________, you're too old.

Thank you for playing along.

The Ray Flash Rocks

I just did an outdoor portrait session with my new Ray Flash, pictured here attached to my Canon 580EX II. Check out the soft and even light from this ringlite-like rig. Say that three times fast!

Basically, the device captures the light from your on-camera flash and sends it down a chute to a reflector that encircles your lens. Man o man, I should have thought of that! What a cool invention.

Anyway, if you are looking for ringlight-like lighting, and don't have the bucks to spend on a true ringlight (which costs big bucks) for portraiture, check out the Ray Flash. Note that there are difference models for different cameras.

Read all about it on the expoimaging web site.

For some tips on daylight fill flash, see this article I wrote for Outdoor Photographer magazine.

A Few Fun iPhone Photos, Please

Hi All

My iPhone app will be available in a few weeks! It is packed with photo how-to information, ideas - and more than 100 of my favorite tips and pictures for seeing, making, and editing pictures. There is even a section that features photo tips from A to Z.

Dr. Dave Wilson is the developer. Cool dude! (He also plays guitar, so we have that in common, too.)

I am looking for a few great iPhone photos to illustrate a section on my top photo tips. Here are the categories:

1) Be Aware of the Background

2) Camera Looks Both Ways

3) Create a Sense of Depth

4) Interesting Subjects Make Interesting Photographs

5) Make Pictures

6) Name of the Game It To Fill the Frame

7) See Eye to Eye

8) See the Light

9) Use Your Camera Like a Spaceship

10) When You Think You Are Close, Move in Closer

If you have a photo that illustrates one of these points, please email it to me at rick@dpexperience.com. That's the email address I have for the new podcast/website I started with Juan Pons. Send your photo questions for our podcast to that address, too.

Here is a direct link to the podcast. And here is a link to our new website.

If I use your photo, you'd get credit, of course! When you send your photo, please state that I have your permission to use it for the app.

Works of Wisdom For Thanksgiving & A Lesson We Can Learn From Mother Nature

Happy Thanksgiving - and thank you for joining all the photo fun and photo learning here on my blog over the past six months or so.

And thanks for signing up for the new Digital Photo Experience podcast (co-host is Juan A. Pons), coming December 1st - or sooner if you can find us on iTunes :-)

You'll find lots to learn - and share - in both places in the future!

The Digital Photo Experience has a talented editorial team - which will be announced on Dec. 1st. The team - covering photography, video, iPhones, computers, industry news, etc. - reminds me of a favorite expression that applies to our lives and even to some species of animals - as illustrated by this photograph, which I took in Kenya. See! We can learn a lot from Mother Nature.

The expression:

The path to greatness is along with others.
Baltasar Gracion

That's a good thought to keep in mind if you want your business to grow - no matter what your business.

That expression is from an inspiration book I am working on. Here are a few quotes from that project. Enjoy - and Happy Holidays!

Rick

You don't drown by falling in water; you only drown if you stay there.
Zig Ziglar

Fear an ignorant man more than a lion.
Turkish Proverb

You never really know your friends from your enemies until the ice breaks.
Eskimo proverb

Sometimes your only available transportation is a leap of faith.
Margaret Shepard

A tortoise travels only when it sticks out its neck.
Chinese proverb

Thanks Doug! Here is a Photo Philosophy Just For You!

First, thank you All for your suggestions about a possible cover for my next book. I really do appreciate your comments.

Doug's comment stuck out: "Your blog has been beating us over the head with HDR lately..."

Okay Doug, sorry for the beating - and thanks for reading. And thank you for one of the longer comments.

This one's for you - posted because I do listen, and because I am guilty as charged :-) Sorry, I just love HDR.

Here are two tips for photographing people:

1) Always remember that the camera looks both ways. Keep in mind that when picturing a person, you are also picturing a part of yourself. Therefore, the mood, energy, feeling and emotion that you project is reflected in your subject. Looking at these pictures, I am sure you can tell how I was feeling when I snapped the shutter.

2) Always respect the subject. He or she can tell in a second if you don't.

Doug, happy now? :-) :-) :-)

Seriously, thank you all for your comments.

Happy Turkey Day to everyone!

Possible Cover Images For My HDR Book. Help Me Decide?

Hi All

Here are two images that are under consideration for the cover of my HDR book - due out early next year.

Which one do you like best - the obvious HDR shot (left) or the more natural-looking HDR shot? Could you do me a favor and let me know here?

You gotta try to imagine type placed over the images.

Here is an article I wrote on HDR for PCPhoto magazine. Enjoy.

Use Your Camera Like a Spaceship

Here's an idea: Use your camera like a spaceship. Rather than taking all your pictures at eye level, move your camera up and down and shoot from different heights. Tilt it down to the left or right - or up or down. Rotate your camera during a long exposure.

Break all the rules. Have fun.

I took this shot in Cuba while kneeling on the ground. I enhanced the already great color with Topaz Adjust. More info on Topaz and ordering info on the Plug-in Experience.

Embrace the Situation

Hey Gang

Here's a thought: When you are not 100 percent happy with a photo situation, embrace the situation! That's what I did today when I was shooting in a cool junkyard in Utah. At first, I did not want my shadow in the scene. For the angle I wanted, however, I could not avoid it. (Sure, I could have cloned it out.)

So, I embraced the situation and included my shadow. It's one of my favorite HDR images from the shoot. The others? They, and others from this trip, will be in my HDR book - coming early next year.

Canon 5D Mark II Digital Diaries: Final Post From Out West - Feel the Photograph

Hey Gang

Thank you all for following along this week on my blog. Great photographic opportunities out here. Made this image with my 5D Mark II and 17-40mm lens.

When photographing, it's sometimes a good idea to think about what other photographers and artists would do in the same situation. Before I came out here, I was reading about Georgia O'Keeffe.

From Wikipedia:

She [Gerogia O'Keeffe] received widespread recognition for her technical contributions, as well as for challenging the boundaries of modern American artistic style. She is chiefly known for paintings of flowers, rocks, shells, animal bones, and landscapes in which she synthesized abstraction and representation.

So I was thinking about Georgia O'Keeffe while I was in the Slot Canyons.

This week I talked about the technical side of photography on the blog. I'd like to finish up with this thought: feel the photograph.

For more on feeling the photograph, see my article on that topic.

Canon 5D Mark II Digital Diaries: Monument Valley Post #2

Hi All

We got up early to catch the beautiful light here in Monument Valley. Left shot is natural light. Right shot is a painting-with-light shot: I painted the tree with the headlights from our guide's Jeep. Took several tries to get it right.

I shot HDR, but it ruined the dramatic effect. Indeed, there is a time and place for HDR - and this wasn't one of them!

By the way, it's freezing here: 30 degrees F this AM. Almost 50 now. Ahhhhhh.

Just a quick note from Monument Valley. There is a time and place for HDR. Here are two shots from today. Straight shots. No HDR.

Canon 5D Mark II Slot Canyons Digital Diaries Post #2: HDR is NOT Photography?

Here is an HDR image from today's shoot at Upper Antelope Canyon. It's a combo of six images - at, over and under the "best" exposure.

I was photographing straight up. The contrast range was beyond that of any film.

I could have opened up the shadows somewhat, but I was thinking about the expression: Light Illuminates, Shadows Define.

Then I thought about all the folks who hate (I know that is a strong word) HDR. Well, here is another expression: To each his own.

Me, I actually think that HDR photography is photography - because it helps use create an image that looks like the scene we see with our eyes.

With a Little Help From My Friend, Scott Kelby

In my latest book (co-authored with Vered Koshlano), Studio and On-Location Lighting Secrets, Scott Kelby contributed this tip for the chapter, With A Little Help From My Friends. Thanks, good friend!

Take it away, Scott. . . and if I don't see you before Photoshop World in Orlando, keep playing playing your "ax."

Here’s a shot I took while wrapping up the writing for my Photoshop CS4 Down & Dirty Tricks book. I needed a shot of a football player for one of the techniques I was demonstrating, so I set up a studio shoot with middle linebacker Blake Johnson from a local (Tampa, Florida) high school team.

I wanted to make a dramatic portrait, so I shot Blake against a black background. I used three lights: The main light, an Elinchrom RX-600 strobe, was mounted on a boom stand and positioned in front of Blake. It was placed up high, directly in front of him and angled down toward him at a 45° angle.

I placed two lights off to the side of Blake (the light on the right is not shown in the behind-the-scenes photo, which, by the way, was taken by Brad Moore).

I controlled the spill of the three-light set-up by using three large black flags (the main flag and the left flag are outlined in white in the behind-the-scenes image). These flags, and the light/flag off to camera right, were simple 24 x36 -inch rectangles of black fabric that block the spread of light.

The flags were an important element in creating this dramatic portrait – and I highly suggest you experiment with them.

That’s me on the left, and my tethered computer on the right. When I’m in the studio, tethered shooting is the norm for me.

One more thing: I post-processed the living daylights out of the image, using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Photoshop CS4. Hey, whatdaya expect?

Pre-Visualize The End Result in HDR

Here is something pretty amazing and very cool to consider about HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography. Once you become serious about your HDR explorations, you’ll start to pre-visualize the end-result photograph in your mind’s eye.

Your imaginary photograph will have all the details in the shadows and highlights that you see with your eyes – and more. It will look realistic or artistic - depending on which HDR option you choose. I chose artistic here, exaggerating the colors and details in the scene.

After a HDR photo session in an abandoned house with my friend Chandler (bottom photo here), I kept thinking about (envisioning) other HDR photo opportunities and possibilities.

I knew I had to so something with the piano in the house. So, I brought over one of my guitars (Yamaha 12) to the house, moved the piano, set my guitar on the floor and opened the case . . . and created a HDR image (Photomatix plus Topaz Adjust) that I envisioned.

Ansel Adams, one of the greatest photographers of all time, was big on pre-visualization. I first read about this concept in 1978, when I was the editor of Studio Photography magazine. I have been big of it ever since then.

See this video on Ansel Adams: First Pre-visualization.

As an HDR photographer, you will be big on seeing the end-result, too. The more you shoot and process your HDR images, the clearer the pre-visualized image. How cool is that!

Oh yeah, pre-visualizing works for straight photographs, too.

For more on Photomatix and Topaz Adjust, see the Plugin Experience.

Any Guesses?

Hi All

Any guesses as to what plug-in I used - and how I use it - to transform a straight shot into a more impressionistic image?

No clue? Well, open an image and experiment (as I did) with the following plug-ins: Color Efex Pro by Nik Software, Photo Tools by onOne Software, and Topaz Adjust by Topaz Labs. One gave me this cool effect.

If no one gets the correct answer, I'll post on Sunday.

The real point of this post: Play with plug-ins! You may be surprised at the creative effects you accidentally discover- as I was!

Here are a few shots of the graves from the Day of the Dead  – actually taken during the "night of the dead." :-)

Yes, I know the pictures are busy, but the scenes were packed with busyness. However, I wanted to share more than one shot with you. What's more, seeing these pictures in a set like this also adds to the busyness. On that note: when displaying pictures in a gallery or on a web site, adjacent images affects how we perceive an image.

Click on the image to enlarge. Yes, size affects how we perceive a picture, too.

When shooting in low light:

• Shoot at a low ISO for the cleanest possible picture.

• That said, some cameras, such as the 5D Mark II, offer very low noise at high ISO settings. I often shoot at ISO 1000 or higher when needed and don't ever worry about the noise.

• Don't forget your tripod.

• Pack your flash.

• When shooting at low shutter speeds, use a cable release or self-timer.

• If you use a flash, try to get a mix of natural light and light from your flash.

• Bring a flashlight so you can see what the heck you are doing! Find some here.

Canon 5D Mark II/7D San Miguel de Allende Diaries Post #9

So I am walking around the main square in San Miguel taking the same pictures of the church that a million other photographers have taken - like the picture on the right. I did use several techniques on mine, however. One was HDR. Do you see the others? Post your answer here. Hint: some were done in Photoshop.

So I asked myself, "How can I get a shot of the church that I have never seen before?" I got the answer by simply looking around for something totally different, which resulted in the picture on the left of the church reflected in a window. I thought of the expression from the Bible: Seek and ye shall find.

Okay, it's not the world's best or most creative picture of the church. However, it is different. Most important, it was fun challenging myself do to something creative.

You assignment Mr. Phelps, should you decide to accept it: Be creative and picture a subject in a reflection.

Today we took a trip to Guanjuato - about an hour from San Miguel. A huge festival took over the city, giving us wonderful travel portrait opportunities.

The middle and right pictures: street performers. 

The girl on the left: someone snacking on some ice cream after having some pizza in a local pizza joint. I took that picture in the dimly lit entrance to the pizza place with my 5D Mark II set at ISO 6400. Now that's impressive low-light photography.

We made all these pictures, asking the subjects to move into more flattering and pleasing lighting. All the pictures were taken with my favorite people photography lens, my Canon 24-105mm IS zoom.

When photographing people, respecting the subject is the most important thing to remember.
