In this digital camera age, the idea of filters is long forgotten. Photoshop has added camera filters to its list of tools available in the digital darkroom. But there are still things which cannot be replicated on your computer.

Digtial Camera Tips Part 1

Pre-production is the term professional photographers
use for the time spent in preparation before a shoot. Whether that be a day or a month, the more prepared you are for the shoot, the better your chances of it being successful. Pre-production is more than a simple checklist of items to put into your camera bag. It is also entails research and brainstorming, but that's a different topic altogether. For now, let's just focus on techniques rather than concepts.

Now that you're more comfortable understanding the controls and functions of your digital camera (having read the manual and prepared yourself for the photo shoot) you can now focus on the production, or photo shoot.
Digital cameras
differ from film in that you now have to tell the camera what type of “film” you are using. Are you shooting outside? Are you in a low-light situation? What is the light source? These were decisions you made with your selection of film, whether you knew it or not. Now you have to answer all of these questions and tell the camera what settings to use. Cameras are smart but not infallible. Automatic mode does not always work. You need to have an understanding of film speed, light source, and color balance in order to get the most out of your digital camera.Don't forget we have some really great deals on photo gear at http://www.prophotosales.com Read More...
Digital Camera Tips Part 3

The final stage in the digital imaging process is post-production, the stuff that happens after the photo shoot. This entails editing, touch-up, and storage of all these precious images.
EDIT, EDIT, EDIT
If location, location, location are the three rules of real estate, then edit, edit, edit are the three rules of post-production. You don't not have to save and print every picture you take. You must go through your images with a sharp, critical eye. This becomes an even more important issue when you invite friends over for a slide show. Honey, no one wants to sit through 1,000 images of your family vacation to Disneyland, no matter how cute your kids are.

Digtial Photography Secrets
September/04/2008 12:57 AM Filed in: Digtal Camera Tips
With all of the photo editing software
out there, people readily assume that any problem – from poor exposure to bad composition – can be fixed later in Photoshop. This mindset is the downfall of many photographers and amateurs alike. You have to have a good image to start with before you turn it into a great image later in Photoshop. (When I say Photoshop I really mean any photo editing software. Photoshop is the industry standard and has become a universal term, such as kleenex or xerox.) The secret to digital photography is to do as much adjusting and tweaking in the camera, as opposed to on the computer, as possible.
