Pleasure tour has a few hundred folks already signed up. Darn cool, can’t
wait to share what I’ve learned over the years and what’s new in the last month. http://www.moosepeterson.com/moosenews/archives/2007/09/26/pixel-packin-landing-in-dc-092607/ June 30th, 2020 Many people have emailed to alert me to Errol Morris\'s latest article in
the Times. In this one he\'s concerned himself with how our—well,
how Susan Sontag\'s— interpretations of pictures might be built
around incorrect assumptions. http://theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/2007/09/which-came-firs.html June 30th, 2020 With the Nikon D3 having impressive pictures noise-wise at ISO 1600,
3200 and even 6400, it looks like the people who are totally allergic to noise
will have an actual DSLR that can deliver them class leading noise performance. http://1001noisycameras.blogspot.com/2007/09/vidi-what-are-we-going-to-do-without.html June 30th, 2020 When last we met, we talked about moving from the idea of balancing a
nice, even, back-curtain of sunset light to dealing with a highly
directional light source (and learning to use it rather than just fill it.)
This week, we are taking it indoors to apply the same principles
to light that is less directional, less intense and more diffuse. http://strobist.blogspot.com/2007/09/lighting-102-33-balancing-flashambient.html June 30th, 2020 Just a quick Sunday nite update from the road, yes, the aspens in Colorado are
turning. The shot above was taken just after George Jardine and I crossed
over Independance Pass coming out of Aspen (the town, not the tree). http://photoshopnews.com/2007/09/24/yes-the-aspens-are-turning/ June 30th, 2020 I’m just a few weeks away from my Arizona workshop with the GAPW. We’re going
to Page, Arizona to shoot the Antelope Slot Canyons and surrounding
areas. http://www.lightroomkillertips.com/2007/wednesday-inspiration-leroy-dejolie/ June 30th, 2020 Today Apple released the details on getting your $100 Apple Store Credit if you
bought AND activated an iPhone before August 22nd. http://terrywhite.com/techblog/?p=297 June 30th, 2020 The class gathered about 9:00 A.M. in the morning and we hit the trail about
10 A.M. heading out to St. Mary\'s Basilica in Covington, KY. It\'s one of the most
beautiful churches not only in Covington but in the entire Cincy area. http://digitalprotalk.blogspot.com/2007/09/magnificent-surrounds.html June 30th, 2020 Diffraction is an optical effect which can limit the total resolution of
your photography no matter how many megapixels your camera may have.
Ordinarily light travels in straight lines through uniform air, however it begins to
disperse or \"diffract\" when squeezed through a small hole. This effect
is normally negligible, but increases for very small apertures.
Since photographers pursuing better sharpness use smaller apertures to
achieve a greater depth of field, at some aperture the softening effects of
diffraction offset any gain in sharpness due to better depth of field. http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/diffraction-photography.htm June 30th, 2020 With the proliferation of digital photography, people have now started to look
at ways to recreate what film has done for them, including recreating a
black and white photo. There are numerous ways to make a digital black and white,
some include: 1. In camera filter - By changing a setting in the camera menu
to take a black and white photo. Essentially this is a built-in color de-saturation
method that removes the color information after the camera takes the
picture. I won’t be covering this method in this article. Pros: Easy, simple and
does not require any knowledge or post processing to create a black and
white photo. Cons: Limits the contrast and dynamic range of the photos.
In my personal experience, leaves the photo looking washed out or flat. http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/digital-black-and-white/ June 30th, 2020
