I clearly am all about my new camera... love it, love it, love it.
I wanted to share with y'all some of the helpful things I've found on the internets in my search for good info & tips on all things photography related.
To begin with,
my husband pointed out
this site to me, and it's been super helpful. I especially like his sections on
How to Make Great Photosand
Recommended Cameras, (which, coincidentally, was one of the factors in why I got the Nikon D40 and a speedlight. Also, because I love my old Nikon SLR. Sorry, Adrienne, I'm a Nikon girl. Heheh)
Speaking of cameras, my husband also pointed out this nifty feature on Canon Point & Shoots today... basically, you can hack into your camera's software and make it a much better camera than it already is (such as shutter speed and exposure time). Check out his blurb on it
here, and further info on it
here. (via S
haun. There, are you happy? heh)
Photo editing tidbits:I like the Big Huge Lab's
photo mosaic maker, if you haven't heard of it by now.
Also a big fan of
Shutterfly Studio. It's how I made my header on here. It's free, fast, and nifty.
This has always been my "go to" tutorial for scanning in a layout and then stitching it together in photoshop.
One of my all-time-faves,
How to make digi photos look like Lomo photography. It's been posted on here multiple times, but I figure there might be *one* person out there who hasn't seen it yet. Heheh
Here's a similar one, but a wee bit different, for a more vintage effect.
The Top Best 55 Photoshop Tutorials... I haven't actually looked at this yet, but it's on my list of "to do" things for photography. You know, in all that free time I have.
9 Digital Camera Settings for every photographer to know (again, ditto above)
DIY Macro Photo studio (for less than $10)... this is like a little place to set up photo shoots for small stuff, like a card, or piece of jewelry, or whatev.
How to make a blinkie in Photoshop CS(MUCH easier than I thought it would be!)
Some great brushes
here and
here. (Thanks,
Katie!)
Some
cool eye candy. (via
Elsie)
So, here's what you need to do:-leave me a link with some of your fave photography website or eye candy
-let me know if you'd be interested in a little "tips & tricks- ghetto style" to photoshop/photography/other photo related miscellany once a week
And I'll draw from the comments and send you a little somethin'-somethin'!Labels: links, photography, pictures
Great post!
Now off to smile at Atticus some more :-)
And I like Pioneer Woman's photo tips. I like her site almost as much as I like dooce.
Of course,all of these sites I mention are behind your site in my rankings. You win. :) Wait a minute! Am I blogging in your comments again?
Does that make me a total user and abuser? Have I only ever called you to ask for your artistic assistnace on a briefcase? And now am I taking total advantage of your willingness to do work and then pass it off to me free of charge?
Well... I suppose 'tis true. But I do love you both for it very much!!! :) Yay you!!!
did you already mention photojojo.com? i love their email tips.
I think photo tips from you would be GREAT!
