How to Shoot Tethered in Lightroom 2

January 26th, 2009 by Kris

So, I just had a associate of mine ask if there was ANYWAY to shoot tethered, you know so your images aren’t written onto your memory card, they right from the camera onto your laptop, so you can see them on screen. The answer is absolutely. Read the rest of this entry »

Ask me anything . . .

January 23rd, 2009 by Kris

So we had a directional meeting for the new Cabedge.com website and our writer Scott had a brillant idea. So, I am going to try this out here! Ready . . .

Ask me anything about photography. Go for it, if I don’t know and the rest of the studio peeps don’t know, we’ll find it for you. Why not? This is after all a journey of discovery and you might get some free research right? SO, go ahead:

Ask me ANYTHING about photography!

I look forward to your questions.

This article was originally posted on 50ft.com by Jed Sundwall, it brings up some interesting ideas. Enjoy . . .

Stir Fry by Hans Gissinger
Dustin clued me into a very interesting discussion going on on Red de Leon’s Flickr stream. In essence (as far as I can grasp), he’s asking if we can judge photography upon things other than novelty or beauty—perhaps a photograph can simply express an opinion, or thought.I believe it’s a discussion worth having—particularly as the Internet is getting better at flooding us with novelty and beauty (especially since 50ft got started).

Retouching in Chile!

January 21st, 2009 by Kris

Just a quick post this morning to inspire you to really think outside if the box. This is a series from Mazda’s most recent ad campaign in Chile. I really like the first one, the other two are ok, but it’s a decent job of using a “fantasy” retouching look to an actual ad series.

How to: Side Lighting 101

January 20th, 2009 by Kris

Often times I get the same question that goes something like this:

Hey dude, I saw this picture that’s really cool and I was wondering how they lit it like that? There’s a bright light on one side that’s kinda’ harsh and then a softer smaller light on the other side. I mean how do you do that?

Ok, so for those who know stop reading now and make a long comment that will share with us how you do it! (Thanks in advance.) For everyone else here we go.

Just in!! A Recipe for better photos . . .

January 15th, 2009 by Kris

Main ingredient . . . SIMPLICITY

I think that most people agree that one of the more difficult parts of photography is how compose an image.

I’ll let you in on a little industry secret . . . keep it simple. Yeah, that’s the first thing.

Let me explain it this way, one of the first things they teach you when you start to paint is to paint what you see. The same is true with photography, there is usually one thing that you want to be the subject of your image, now you’ve got that all you have to do is isolate them from the back ground . . .
