Every day, it seems, I hear or read about “The box” and how we are encouraged to think and act outside “The box”. Yet I wonder, if we all work to escape “The box” isn’t there a danger of transforming the extraordinary into the commonplace? The rules that dictate what is or isn’t a good photograph remain constant – the rule of thirds, lighting and exposure etc (no need to list them here – they are, after all, components of “The box” and familiar to us all) – but modern technology, especially in…

Well my past few days have been really nice, got a new girlfriend: Alyce who is really great :) Other than that on the topic of photos, trying to travel around a little bit more to get more inspiration and such. So far I'm tired of the nature around me, I want to go outside of the box. And I'm looking for models...

For those of you who know of Getty Images will be surprised to hear they are putting themsleves up for sale. I can only assume it is because of the competition they are getting from sites such as iStickphoto. Here is the NY Tines article. http://tinyurl.com/55avxt
We went to the Waco Zoo yesterday. The weather was beautiful. It was not too hot or cold. The exhibits were very nice. I took a ton of photos. I love the big cat exhibits so naturally I took a few GB's worth of shots. The previews looked good... until I put them on my computer. The lens I used totally crapped out on me. The shots were not up to par at all. I decided to use my 70-300mm. I am getting ready to toss it in the trash. Time to go shopping for another one .....

I got my new lens!!!! I'm so excited, like a kid at xmas!! The camera store called yesterday at about 2pm and I work an hour away from the camera store so I had to beg my boss to let me leave an hour early from work so I could race to the store and get it before they closed since today I'm leaving straight from work to go to Orlando. I was so frustrated though when I got home because I had so much to do I really couldn't play with it like I wanted to! The bad thing for me now is I'm really wanti…

I've been weighing out my options, rethinking plans, changing this and changing that, and I've finally come up with what I feel is going to be a worthwhile, long overdue, and much needed vacation. For the last 5 years, I have been taking care of my Mom (in my home) since a devastating stroke crippled her. I dont get any outside help with the exception of one of my Brothers. Its been a long and tiresome 5 years and I finally convinced myself to take a couple of weeks off all to myself. My wife an…

It’s easy for us to guess what other people feel, if it’s by their eyes, their face expression or their body language. Even if we’ll take a look at the big mammals that are not human sometimes we could do a personification or their feelings. It’s easy to see when a chimpanzee is angry, when a horse is happy and when a cat wants some TLC. We learned to recognize animal feelings and sometimes we even get it right. If we’ll see a big elephant running to us we wouldn’t think that maybe he wants some…

So, I decided to take my digital camera with me today to school, hoping that when I walk home through the forest I would find something good to take a picture of..nope..I feel so uninspired in the area that I'm in. Its Horrible. Thankfully, I'm going to the moutains this weekend, and I love nature, so I'm sure I'll find something good around there. Other than that..only a few more days until I get my PowerShot camera :)

So we got home, very excited to see everything up on the monitor... only to find my focus isn't all that I thought it was ! He was sweet, and reminded me that everything takes practice.... Does anyone else have one, and is willing to share some words of wisdom !? Tracy

I hate photography. I hate that sinking feeling when you’ve done all the Photoshop work you can think of and the photo still looks dull. I hate that, “Wow, that would’ve been a great shot” feeling. I hate the limitations of the viewfinder, that black barrier that cuts all peripheral vision. I hate loading that awesome photo, only to find that someone stepped into the frame with their shorts and Hawaiian shirt. And I hate the fact that all your photos look better than mine… But I love the fact t…

Quite a long day at work today. I intended to do so much this evening when I got home but was just to tired to even start. I was going to do some B&W portraits indoors using the light from the patio window as a source. I had it all set up in my mind for the effects. Well, so it goes, I'll try again tomorrow perhaps. During the day I work on Main battle tanks. I am a senior tech and the heat just gets a bit too much inside 70 tons of steel in Texas. Bob

I want to make the move to the dSLR arena, but I have no idea what I'm looking for in a good camera, or what brands would be considered the "good" ones when it comes to these types of camera's.

Again, I'm looking for something I can tinker around with and learn how to use but also be able to take things to…

My friends and I have a kind of tradition: every year on Easter holidays we travel to one of the countries, which we are hardly choosing during the year. Travelling during Easter is quite convenient, because there are four guaranteed days-off (well, at least in our country), the dates are known and if you manage to book your flight and accommodation in advance - some 5 or 6 months before - it is quite cheap, cheaper comparing to making all preparations in a last day.

The shutter on a camera is what opens the front of the camera body to expose the image sensor or film to the light flowing through the lens. Shutter speed is the amount of time the shutter stays open to expose the sensor to the light. In the middle of the day photographers typically use a short shutter speed because there is a lot of light available to flow into the sensor. Towards sunset or sundown photographers tend to use longer shutter speeds because since there is not very much light availa…

On most digital SLR's (Single Lens Reflex) cameras today you can even change the sensitivity of the sensor when collecting light which is called the ISO speed. The common span of ISO speed is 100 to 1600. The higher the ISO speed the faster the camera collects light but it also adds more noise to the photograph than the lower speeds. For example if your trying to take pictures in dim light without a tripod you might want to raise the ISO speed in order to get a picture that's not blurry. Most of…
