Scott Kelby – More Than A Vision Of Digital Shot So Close To Genius

admin1 — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 18:02:33 +0000

Catharsis.

That about sums up what you live while viewing Scott Kelby’s shots.

None of the classic words that are generally used while referring to photography are enough to catch the true meaning of the things this artist creates. You could refer to it as art, but that still won’t do it.

These are the pictures that you want to have on your desktop. These are the shots that amateur photographers would die for to capture because they are so close to perfection.

He is not just another digital photographer. He dedicated his life to this art, studying it, trying to improve it, experimenting. He is also the Editor and Publisher of Photoshop User Magazine and author of many other studies, training courses and books.

How does an artist like him live?

Besides the fact that he has nine jobs, that’s right, nine… he lives like you and me. He is not like us, but lives like us.

He enjoys reading, watching a good romantic comedy, he loves Bon Jovi and Sinatra, he eats burgers and spaghettis, watches Seinfeld, Lost, Two and a Half Men and loves his wife and kid.

But his work is brilliant. Of course a good camera and skills in processing the images represent a big contribution to the final product, but the idea behind the image can’t be made by a camera, but by an innovative, talented mind.

And Scott Kelby captures the great things in life: great landscapes, beautiful people, unique moments in sports and traveling and that is what make him a hero of digital photography.

30 Striking Examples of Silhouette Photography

admin2 — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 17:24:15 +0000

A silhouette is defined as an outline that appears dark against a light background. More specifically, it is where your subject is seen as a black shape without detail against a brighter background.

Several things require attention when photographing a silhouette. Here’s how to Photograph Silhouettes. Firstly, the contrast between the subject and the background has to bee extensive. So the light has to shine from behind of the subject.

Silhouettes are a wonderful way to convey drama, mystery, emotion and mood to the viewers of your photos. Objects silhouetted against the setting sun or a halo of light are breathtaking. Art silhouette pictures are a great way to make your photography portfolio stand out.

We hope you enjoy these 30 stunning examples of Silhouette Photographs.

30 Fascinating Pictures of Tilt-Shift Photography

admin2 — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 07:40:33 +0000

Tilt-shift photography is a creative and unique type of photography in which the camera is manipulated so that a life-sized location or subject looks like a miniature-scale model.

To add good miniature effect to your photographs, shoot subjects from a high angle (especially from the air). It creates the illusion of looking down at a miniature model.

A camera equipped with a tilt-shift lens, which simulates a shallow depth of field, is essentially all you need to start. In addition to focus manipulation, the tilt-shift photography effect is improved by increasing color saturation and contrast, to simulate the bright paint often found on scale models.

Tilt-shift miniature faking is one of the most popular applications of tilt-shift photography.

In many cases, “tilt-shift photography” refers to the use of tilt and a large aperture to achieve a very shallow depth of field.

Here are 30 Beautiful examples of tilt-shift photography for your reference.

Photographing lightning at night is relatively easy provided you have access to remote areas away from town/city lights.

The results can be exciting but they are also partly based upon luck.
