Sharing photos, reviews and tips for photographers
I’m a huge Moose Peterson fan and recently found “Moose Peterson’s Guide to Wildlife Photography: Conventional and Digital Techniques (A Lark Photography Book)” at the local Half Price Books store. I was a little hesitant to buy it since it was printed in 2003, which is a quite a long time ago in photography equipment [...]
I’ve been using DxO Optics Pro for about a month now and have fallen in love with it. I’ve been a happy Lightroom (LR) user. My workflow consisted of dropping my CF card into a reader and using LR to convert the Canon RAW CR2 file into a Digital Negative (DNG) file. I was happy [...]
Rather than giving you more tips and hints for SEO and marketing your photography services on the web, I thought I’d take some time to point you toward a book that will answer all your questions and give you all the background you need to start properly marketing yourself. The book? Inbound Marketing: Get Found [...]
One of the gifts I received this past Christmas was a book titled “National Audubon Society Guide to Photographing America’s National Parks” by Tim Fitzharris. This book provides a great deal of value by providing 250 photographs sprinkled throughout 192 pages describing the US National Parks. While not a detailed review of each park, you [...]
I’ve been reading through the Canon EOS 7D Digital Field Guide by Charlotte Lowrie and have to say that I’m impressed with the book. I’ve never bought a book like this before having always relied on the manual that came with the camera and other online guides. While I still like the camera manual and [...]
I received Bryan Peterson’s “Understanding Photography Field Guide: How to Shoot Great Photographs with Any Camera” for Christmas and haven’t been able to put it down since. The book is split into 11 different sections: Digital Basics – In this section, the author provides a basic intro to the world of digital photography. Exposure – [...]
Just finished reading through “The Naked and the Lens: A Guide to Nude Photography” and have to say it is an excellent book. Unlike my wife Tracie (a great people photographer based in Dallas), I’m not really interested in shooting people. That said, this book provides some excellent advice and guidelines for shooting not only [...]
On our recent trip to Yellowstone and the Grand Teton National Parks, we used the Compass American Guides: Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks, 1st Edition book to guide as around the park. What a great book. We used this book on our recent trip to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons and couldn’t be happier with [...]
I’ve read a few books on Lightroom 2 and found most lacking. While not lacking much Richard Earney’s Inside Lightroom 2: The serious photographer’s guide to Lightroom efficiency, there are some deficiencies that cause me to prefer Scott Kelby’s Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter) book slightly over this one. [...]
I’ve been walking reading and using Scott Kelby’s The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers and am amazed at how easy Kelby makes things seem. The book is the ONLY book I’d recommend for Lightroom 2. It walks you through everything you’ll ever need to use in Lightroom 2 and provides screenshots for [...]
Scott Kelby is looking for some help with his new Digital Photography Book #3 (not sure if that’s the real title). Scott is finishing up the book next week and would like your input. He asks: Next week I’ll be wrapping up writing Volume 3 of my book, “The Digital Photography Book,” and while I [...]
