Re: Color correction - face shot
Yes, when in doubt, looking for an area that would be perceived as white or black is a good place to start for inspecting neutrals (although sometimes one may have to account for tones and casts which are not the darkest or the lightest part of the image and are more highlight/quartertone or whatever). The girl with the… -
Re: Urgh!!!
I myself am not a professional photographer, but I am in the same position as you. The route I chose to take was exactly what has been mentioned on here. I got on Google and looked for local photogs. I met the guy that I am now interning for and it has been great! I can tell you from the experiences I have had so far is… -
Re: Peru - Questions...
We were there in April. I had a 70-200 on my DSLR most of the time and no one questioned it at any of the places we visited. (I left the tripod behind; too much to carry at high altitude.) My husband was using a professional-looking HD video camera on a tripod and he was questioned on two occasions (Sacsaywaman and Machu… -
Re: A currency selector for non US smugmugers please?
when you pay with a credit card, you're always charged in your local currency (at whatever the exchange rate for the day is). With a "currency selector" do you mean they would be charged directly in local currency? That would be a huge undertaking on the part of SmugMug as far as I can tell. But there are online currency… -
Re: Engagement photos, where do I start?
I have that same ebay stobe kit. It isn't all that bad really! Great way to learn lighting techniques on a budget. I was shooting some cars for an exotic used car dealer yesterday (Fuel injected 64 stingray convertable, and an 85 280sl) in a big warehouse and I found that the opticals weren't tripping so I taped a 3x5… -
Re: I need something sharper!
You and me both. I'm going to quote him verbatum so there is no confusion. First thing is going to be his technique then to the settings. And I quote: "Open the photo you want to sharpen using Lab Sharpening. Go to the channels palette and yuou can see that your RGB photo is made up of three channels-a Red, a Green, and a… -
Re: Best DSLR camera for amateur in expert photography?
Photography is a learned skill and art, it is not about the equipment. You can learn photography with any camera, but it helps having one that assumes the photographer will choose settings, vs the camera doing it. I believe the best learning is done on a completely manual camera, but sadly, those really don't exist any… -
Re: 365 Portrait Lighting Project
Would love to share. As far as skin tones, the first important thing is getting white balance correct. Since I shoot in the same environment/lighting all the time with these shots, I have presets in LR setup for my 3 light setups. I find that my different modifiers have slightly different color casts and that's why I have… -
Re: i need a new monitor
Where you use high end editing software that is color managed and are mostly doing your own printing to a wide gamut printer. If you use RAW files and extract out to AdobeRGB especially where you shoot a lot of colorful images, flowers, parrots, etc, you would likely be able to see a difference between viewing it on a wide… -
