Easier Illustrator-like Layer Auto-Select As I do a lot of logo / UI design, I won’t hide it, I’m a huge fan of Illustrator.

Five Tips on How to Take Better Portraits in Natural Light at The Phoblogr... There are some photographers that will only shoot in natural light. Indeed, when my good friend Jason tested out a Hasselblad H4D, he shot with his own natural light studio. If you want to take the minimalist approach, here are a couple of tips on how to do just that. Reflect The Right Color Reflectors can come in handy big time when it comes to shooting in natural light. - Transparent reflectors can diffuse incoming light to soften it and help accentuate some of the natural and beautiful colors. - Silver reflectors will bounce a cooler toned light onto the subject to help fill in the shadows under the eyes, neck and other areas that will prevent the person from not liking the photo (and therefore asking you to delete it). - White linings will reflect more neutral lighting. - Gold reflectors will reflect extremely warm lighting onto your subject. - Soft Gold (aka Gold and Silver mix) will do the same as a gold reflector but much more subtle.

Taking Professional Looking Photos Without a Professional - Business Website... - StumbleUpon The Setup: When taking your own photos, you want lots of light - but not direct light. Direct light will cause harsh shadows, which you don’t want. DO NOT USE A FLASH! Flashes wash out colors and details – and even the entire photo if you are taking close up shots. Professional looking product photos have soft shadows and a subtle background. For the background, trim a piece of white matte poster board and curve it inside the container. Here is a photo of the setup I use: The Camera: If you can, get and use a tripod. Know your camera and how it works. Shutter Speed: The length of time your film (or digital chip) is exposed to light. Aperture: The diameter of the opening that allows the light to enter the camera. Other features/settings you should be aware of: ISO/ASA (film speed): If you have the option to manually select a film speed on your camera, resist the temptation to choose 400. Light Meter: This is the feature on your camera that tells you how much light enters the camera.
Top 5 tricks for taking professional looking photos with your digi... It’s great when technology in a field advances to a state where the field suddenly opens up to the masses in a way that was never possible before. You could say things like YouTube have done that for the world of video, but long before that development, photography was brought into the mainstream in a whole new way with the popularisation of the digital cameras. Sure the film camera was very popular before then, but there was the developing and the waiting, all of which went out the window with digital. Now you didn’t need to think too much before taking a photo because you weren’t wasting precious film. And that is the crux of the matter. 1.

Use the miraculous zoom lens you have on your camera. 4. 5.
