spf3million posted:Also looking at a ton of other peoples pictures and thinking about why you like them and reading other peoples' critiques and why they like or dislike those shots really helps me be more creative and get stuff I'm happier with. This is really important. Once I (and anyone new to photography) has learnt the basics the only logical next step is to shoot more and look at more. Looking at more has helped me immensely, not just in learning what makes a good and interesting photograph but the ideas and thoughts behind it. A big inspiration is James Nachtwey, and although I will never shoot in the places he does or get to photograph the people he does it makes you think alot more about your own goals and what the point of you picking up a camera is, and this really helps in driving creativity, at least for me.

Does zone focusing work in apeture priority? or do i have to set the apeture manually on the lens?

Thanks brad industry posted:I can't remember who compiled this, but here's a RAR of all the PDFs from those links: http://rapidshare.com/files/324614737/Photography_Reading.rar.html And thanks.

SoundMonkey posted:Wait, increased pixel density affecting AF speed? What? As far as I know, the only two things pixel density affects is noise (like you said), and the aperture at which diffraction becomes an issue. Even then I didn't know 8mp was the magic number for decreasing noise quality.

Yes just learn it yourself, talk art with artists, read alot, "getting it" isn't some holy grail that you can only obtain through art school.

Let me just say, designing even the simplest website with no prior knowledge of html/css/flash or any coding is destroying my brain. 4 days and this is what I have, 4 loving days. https://www.christopherineson.com When it finally does get finished i WILL be proud.

Pompous Rhombus posted:That's why a lot of people outsource designing their websites. A bit like hiring a photographer for a job rather than teaching yourself photography Thanks, and believe me, If i had the money it would be going to someone else straight away. I love reading about the web design though, many hours Ive wasted just looked through really great layouts of other peoples sites. http://www.tutorial9.net/resources/minimalism-around-the-web-design-inspiration-wordpress-themes/ http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/05/20/the-showcase-of-big-typography-second-edition/ http://speckyboy.com/2010/03/25/50-examples-of-large-photography-backgrounds-within-web-design/ Tincans posted:I don't mean to belittle what you've done so far but have you considered other ways of forms of portfolio hosting such as Wordpress, Smugmug and so on? I used to have a wordpress photo a day thing, I liked it and it was nice and minimalistic but I really fell behind updating, I want this to be something really simple that i can just leave, a few gallery's, contact info, small blog and that's it. I thought of using wordpress again but its easier (although hard work and alot longer) to start from scratch, no code bloat and I know where and what everything does.

I think the lightroom backup is for your catalog information and not your pictures. Apart from trying a restore utility i cant think of a way.

You could also make a little diffuser out of an empty film canister if you have any.

Yer sometimes I have to force myself to leave the camera in the bag (I always have it on me though, what if the bar gets taken over by mercenaries, or a bomb goes off, or or...) because sometimes you've just got to enjoy yourself/get drunk.

William T. Hornaday posted:You need to learn and practice post processing, I cant say that enough, it might be alot of work to get a nice colour image out of that picture but whats the alternative? Throw it away? Make a lovely auto black and white? That monkey picture isn't even that hard of a fix by the look of it, just looks a bit washed out. But the black and white is pretty bad anyway, it looks only a little bit better. Its just as hard to make a good black and white as it is a good colour photograph. William T. Hornaday posted:but I guess right now I just don't really have the confidence in my abilities to make it work well. And trial and error hasn't really given me anything promising yet. I guess I'll just have to keep trying until I get better at it. Go buy a processing book, or go the library, or look at the thousands upon thousands of articles and guides on the internet. Nobody knows this stuff right off the bat, you learn it like anything else.

baka kaba posted:What are the differences between Lightroom and the Camera Raw feature in Photoshop? And for anyone who has both, what do you generally use Photoshop for that you can't/don't like to do in Lightroom? I basically only use lightroom for management and a little bit of colour correction, curves, cropping and stuff like that, and even then very rarely, usually on photos I dont care about or want to get a general idea of what I want. Other than that all my editing is all done inside photoshop, I just prefer to work within layers and for me you have a much finer control of the image in photoshop than you do in lightroom.
