So You Want to be a Photographer? I remember very clearly when I decided to become a photographer. I had been working as an aide at my children’s school and due to the state’s budget, cuts were being made. All aides were being laid off. I had been working 2 hours a day for the last 2 years and thought that this was my chance to finally be a photographer. After all, all of my friends wanted me to take pictures of their kids and I already owned a nice camera. How much work could there be to it? Wrong! In my experience, here is what made me a photographer: I shot in auto for the first 6 months of owning my business. Seek out other photographers. Now let’s break it down: Be in control of your camera and master shooting in manual Value your time and yourself.

Photoshop CS6 auf Englisch umstellen » Cindy & Sebastian Hochzeitsfotografie Video-Tutorials für Photoshop sind oftmals in Englisch. Mit einer deutschen Version von Photoshop ist es daher manchmal schwierig, die genaue Bezeichnung der einzelnen Menüpunkte nachzuvollziehen. Anders als Lightroom kann die Sprache bei Photoshop CS6 auch nicht mehr verändert werden. Zum Glück gibt es einen kleinen Trick, mit welchem die Sprache „umgestellt“ werden kann. Im Ordner Adobe Photoshop CS6 > Locales > de_DE > Support Files befindet sich die Datei tw10428.dat. Diese Datei einfach in den Ordner de_DE verschieben und Photoshop starten, und schon ist Photoshop CS6 in der englischen Version benutzbar. Wer also auf mögliche Probleme keine Lust hat, der kann sich die Begriffe auf Deutsch und Englisch zum Beispiel auf dieser Seite ansehen. Update 9.11.2013: Es gibt definitiv ein Problem mit der automatischen Update-Funktion von Adobe.
How to get a blurred background from your dSLR's kit lens There are plenty of good reasons to put down your smartphone or point-and-shoot and buy a digital SLR. If, for you, it was because you drooled over food photography with a shallow depth of field or portraits where the subject is in sharp focus but the background is blurred, you may have immediately been disappointed by your shots and left wondering what you were doing wrong. The fact is the lens that comes with most dSLRs, aka the kit lens, isn't really your best option for achieving a shallow depth of field. Without getting into the technical details, cameras with large sensors, such as digital SLRs, are able to create more background blur than the much smaller sensors in an average point-and-shoot. For example, the standard kit lens usually has a maximum aperture of f3.5 and ideally you'll what something much wider (lower f-stop number) like a lens that starts at f1.8, f2.0, or f2.8. Learn your lens' minimum focus distance Zoom all the way in and get as close as possible
