A Millionaire Mindset in 30 Sentences You came to the right place. This book is here to share my experience in creating a millionaire mindset. If you know why you are here, go ahead and download it for free (yes, free, as in “Free beer”). As of June, 2014, this ebook is also distributed using my “get it for free, pay what you like” approach. But if you don’t know why you’re here, read on. What Is A Millionaire Mindset ? The most common – and totally wrong – answer to that question is: “the mindset of a guy who’s having one million dollars in the bank”. A millionaire mindset is a mindset of abundance in all areas. Such a mindset is not a secret. Why Reading It? Because you’re curious. Because you want to know what it takes from someone who did it. Because you don’t believe in “quick and easy secrets” and want the real thing. Because it’s easy to read. Because, if you’re not curious, it will surely make you curious. Because you can. Because you already read my blog and you like what you find here. Because you’re a pal. Because.

7 ways to capture what you actually see 4. Custom white balance Our brains are very good at interpreting the colour information that they receive from our eyes. When we see an object that we know to be white, we see it as such (or very close to) almost whatever the light source. We can tune-out the colourcast that comes from a wide variety of light sources. A camera’s automatic white balance system is designed to replicate this ability, and although most systems do a pretty decent job in natural light, many struggle in artificial lighting conditions. This can result in images with a green cast when shooting under fluorescent light, for example and a deep orange in candle light. Digital cameras have a number of white balance settings in addition to Auto that are designed to correct the colourcast created by specific light sources. However, it is so easy to set a custom white balance that in many situation this is a better option. Pages:Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7Next People who read this also liked...

Free Books: Get Them For Free, Pay What You Like That’s right. You can get all the books listed below for free – if you choose to download them as PDF, directly from this website. You still have the option to get a printed copy, shipped (pretty much) everywhere in the world, if you order from Amazon, or a Kindle-ready version – but this will make you chip in a few dollars. I kept these versions for this who feel more comfortable to read a printed book and for those addicted to their beloved electronic reading devices. There’s a catch, though. I think it’s fair for both of us. Remember, you set the price for this. Once again: you get all this content for free.

How AppSumo was built for $50 One of the most common questions people ask me is how I built AppSumo. Instead of repeating myself, I'll show you every single step from the idea, validation and getting my first 200 customers ("sumo-lings”). It’s the action steps we’ve been using to help 2,000+ people start their own businesses with our How to Make a $1,000 a month Business course. Before AppSumo, the #1 problem I found during my last business was getting customers, and it drove me crazy. I decided I wanted to help web apps get customers. In true “wantrepreneur” fashion I created a website to collect emails from friends and see if I could start a business helping companies get new customers. My good friend Paul's face on the landing page. I started A/B testing landing pages and wasting precious time (sound familiar?) “Go validate that people actually want this thing, NOW!” Validation is CRITICAL so you can save time and money to see if your idea will turn into an actual business. My first sales email for AppSumo! I'm rich!

How to Create Breathtaking Architectural Photographs You don’t have to be a career photographer to create dramatic and breathtaking architectural photographs. With a little practice the weekend photographer can learn to create eye-popping images that look as though they had been captured by a professional. You needn’t have the latest, greatest or most expensive equipment. The most important aspect of photography – what sets the great photographs apart from the good photographs – is how the subject matter is seen and captured onto film or onto the page. I will share with you some some tips and suggestions to get you started. Shoot from many angles. Walk around the building that you want to photograph and take pictures from all around. Play around and have fun. Why are you taking pictures? Photographs can serve many things to many people. In a bustling city, the people, taxis and traffic can help to create the overall mood. Consider your light source. A building’s overall look and feel will change throughout the day. Black and white.

Backlighting Tutorial by Guest Contributor Lidia Boicu So you’ve seen a lot of backlit pictures and you just fell in love with the beautiful warm tones you see in the pictures but failed many times when you tried to do the same thing in your sessions? Well, I hope this simple tutorial will give you some great tips on how to create beautiful backlit pictures. I think every photographer that does backlit photography has their own way of doing things but here is my way of creating those beautiful backlit images. Best time for the shoot Backlit photography requires that the sun and the light is on the back of your subject so that means that you will have to shoot very early in the morning right after the sun rises or late in the evening before the sun sets. Spot Metering You will have to set your camera on Spot Metering that way the camera will read the light from your subject’s face rather the the overall light in the background. Shade is good Open shade that is! Practice Last but not least practice.

MIT Will Teach You Photojournalism For Free If you ever wanted to get more serious about photography, but weren't quite sure where to start, MIT's free online course in photojournalism just might be the right entry point. It's not a full-blown photography class--there's no instructor or peer feedback, and the course assumes you already know a little something and don't need to learn all the technical aspects of camerawork. Instead, it centers around the type of photography most of us partake in: shooting our environment on the fly. A curated reading list and weekly assignments are designed to guide you in thinking about how to approach subjects and environments. They're also intended to help you translate the five senses you experience in the living world into a single, dynamic photo. Assuming you already have a functional camera, the only expenses for the course are a few books, most of which you can find on Amazon for cheap. Check out the course here.

Tutorial: Editing a newborn | Morgan Kervin Photography I get asked if I have any tips for editing newborns quite a bit, so here is what I do to make those adorable little ones into a beautiful portrait :) First I will have to say that for newborn pictures it is all about the lighting, even lighting will give you a more even skin tone and you will have less editing to do. Also shooting in RAW is a must! At this session this adorable little girl gave a smile, just 1 smile.....and my strobe, camera left didn't fire so the lighting is not at all what I wanted. This image is straight out of my camera in RAW format. When I open up the RAW image in PSE I bring up my exposure and fill light until it is brighter and more evenly lit. Of course next I run CoffeeShop baby powder room :) It is fantastic! Then I use the gaussian blur at a pretty high amount so that it is nice and even. The result from the soft skin layer after adjusting the opacity. Next the lighten skin layer, you can see the areas I brushed over, avoiding the detail spots again.
