Epic EditsPromote Your Page Too Alright… I FINALLY got this thing going after a long period of procrastination. Epic Edits is officially on Facebook. I’ve been on Facebook for quite a while with my personal profile, but I’m just not getting around to making a page for Epic Edits. I’m still figuring out how to [...]
For many, Wedding Photography is the “pays the bills” aspect of photography, and therefore it might get short shrift on the respect meter because of the seemingly lack of “excitement”, but as my friend in the movie business says, “if you take the job, you do the job” and that means no griping. And honestly, there is a compelling aspect to wedding photography, let’s take a look, shall we?
I just now came across this video from Olympus, but it looks like it’s been out there for several weeks. Of course, the whole thing is a big ad for the Olympus PEN camera, but it’s downright genius. The fact that they printed out 355 (very large) photos for the stop-action video is impressive.
We’re off to a good start with these Flickr Challenges… the first one was “Street” and the winner chose a new theme of “Analog”. I’m a sucker for film photos, so this one was particularly difficult for me to select the photos below. The “favorite” selection this week is from Rob LaRosa with his shot titled “Everything you need”. And as the winner, he gets to pick the theme for challenge #3.
Here’s another great eBook from author/photographer Edward Verosky. This eBook covers the topic of flash photography and artificial lighting from a practical standpoint — simple setups with outstanding and reliable results. It dives into all the technical aspects of flash photography, but then pulls back to reality with examples of easy to understand setups for almost any situation. This book is a great resource and tool for anybody wanting to learn more about artificial lighting.
Just a heads-up for anybody interested in participating in the current Flickr Challenge — I’ll be choosing the images for display this coming Tuesday evening. So that’s about 2 days to get your best analog shots in the pool and tagged with “ee-analog”. Once again, my favorite photo will get to choose the next topic.
I’m curious what your shooting habits are. Do you shoot every day like some others I know? Or are you more of a weekend warrior?
We recently started a discussion around the question “Why is Street Photography Dominated by Black and White?” and we had some great comments from the readers. Shortly thereafter, I got an email from the folks at TeNeues with regard to the “Elliot Erwitt Photo Caption Contest” I had talked about. They said that they would [...]
It seems social networking is on the lips of the young and old, professional and student, casual observers and fast-track hipsters. By all accounts, social networks help all of us stay connected with current events and topics of conversation while also helping businesses market their wares. Yet a surprising number of professional photographers still ask us at DigiLabs Pro “Is social networking really worth it?” Our answer is a resounding, “ABSOLUTELY.”
If you want to know a little more about me, head over to PetaPixel and read through my recent interview with them. The questions presented were quite compelling and I had a good time doing the interview. We chatted about everything from my background, to the origins of this blog, to post-processing, to my darkroom, [...]
