By Alexx Henry from alexxhenry.com - As promised, here is our experience with using the Red One Camera, chronicling our voyage beyond the still image. Looking forward to our next project featuring living art portraits. Stay tuned… After the video, take a peek at the links to see the final results.
By Patrick Arseneau – There’s a lot to think about when composing your photographs. Lights, background, foreground, rule of thirds, etc. One thing people often forget is the shadows. We don’t think about it often but shadows always exist and should be considered when composing your pictures. Especially when the light source is strong and the shadows are hard and dark. Of course the most important thing to think about is the subject, but if your subject creates a hard shadow, it can be a little distracting if the shadow falls out of the frame.
By Patrick Arseneau - Children are probably the most popular subject in photography. I think the reason is because they grow up so fast and we all want to freeze them in time. They make great models because they don’t worry about anything. They look completely natural. They don’t care about how their hair looks, if they blink or not, what they wear, etc. It’s a pure capture of how they feel in the present moment. Even if they don’t want to have their picture taken, take it anyway and see how their expression ‘talks’ to you through the picture.
By Darren Rowes from digital-photography-school.com – One of the wonderful things about digital photography is the creativity that you can engage in once you’ve got your image on your computer and in Photoshop. All kinds of effects can be achieved to make your shots look any number of ways.
By Patrick Arseneau – One my favorite special effects in photography is light trails. More specifically traffic trails. The main key is to set your shutter speed to a long exposure (min 15 seconds). There are 2 good ways to get moving light stream in your picture; 1- capture moving cars while staying still, or 2- stay still in a moving car while capturing outside light. Either way, your camera has to stay really still during the exposure.
