Minimalism: Using Negative Space In Your Photographs A Post By: James Brandon Sometimes it’s nice and refreshing to just strip a photo or scene down to it’s absolute bare essentials. Often times, I get too caught up in trying to fill every part of the frame with something interesting. The problem is, sometimes when we try to fill up the entire frame with objects, lines, people, shapes, etc, we actually overcomplicate things and leave the viewer wanting a place to rest their eyes. The trick/secret is this: Negative space can be just as interesting in a photograph as anything else, if done right. I encourage you to consider this the next time you go out shooting. Image by Brian Matiash In the above image, Brian Matiash actually set out to create a series of minimalistic, black and white images around Staten Island. Image by Mike Olbinski I love this image by Mike Olbinski. Image by James Brandon (that's me!) Finally, here’s an image from my own portfolio. Conclusion If you have examples of minimalism in your work, we want to see it!
Selling Your Images As Art: 5 Tips To Getting Started A Post By: Rick Berk As photographers, the highest compliment we can be paid is to have someone pay us for our vision and creativity. For some, this means becoming wedding or portrait photographers, getting paid per event or session. But what about those of us who enjoy shooting landscapes, or wildlife? Subjects that aren’t often paid for in advance? 1. This allows you to get customers when you aren’t otherwise selling your work. I will admit I know very little about how they operate, so do some research before you commit to any of these websites. This image of a local point of interest on Long Island, NY would do well in a local restaurant, cafe, or art show but would probably not garner interest in a more national setting. 2. There are opportunities to sell your work everywhere. Be prepared to have your images printed, matted, and framed. 3. Contact the gallery owners for their guidelines and ask how they like to review new submissions. 4. 5.
Photography: 15 Great Examples of the Rule of Thirds in Action The Rule of Thirds is a theory dictating how an image should be composed in order to create an aesthetically pleasing result. In all honesty, it’s more of a guideline than an actual rule. The principle involves splitting an image into nine equal parts. First, you draw two lines vertically (in your mind, don’t whip out a pencil) to form three evenly-spaced sections. Then draw two more lines horizontally. To give you an idea of what the Rule of Thirds looks like, here are 15 great examples by independent photographers just like you. Leaves In this stunning nature shot, the artist emphasizes the various hues and organic shape of flora by placing the tip of the stick at the top left cross section of the imaginary guide, created by the Rule of Thirds. Cup of Tea #1 The yellow lemon slice floats delicately in the center of the teacup, drawing the eye not only because of its color, but also because it sits at the bottom right cross section of the guide.

How to Create Realistic Looking HDR Photographs - Digital Photography School By Sean Ogle. HDR photography has gotten a bit of a bad reputation, simply because so many people don’t know how or when to use it. It kind of reminds me of my first experiences using Photoshop in high school. The only thing I knew how to do was open a photo, head to the filters, and create surreal, barely recognizable images. That’s what I see many photographers doing with HDR today. They open up Photomatix or HDR Efex Pro and start making photos that look overly processed, overly saturated, and basically just all around over done. Sure, there are people that like this look, but those photos overshadow the true benefits that HDR can bring to the table. My favorite photos are the ones that look almost too real. With that said, the most practical use of HDR is when you’re trying to create a more realistic depiction of what your eye is actually seeing in any given scene. This shot of from the Jersey Shore is a good example of that: Let’s take a look. Take it Easy on the Saturation Use a Tripod
Ele é o melhor fotógrafo de água do mundo, e essas 13 imagens assombrosas mostram o por quê À primeira vista, estas fotografias parecem iminentes montanhas em um universo escuro encontrado em um romance de Tolkien. Mas olhe de novo: Estas imagens são realmente ondas do mar, capturados em seu ponto máximo. É quase assustador ver o quão poderosas elas parecem. Considerado por muitos o melhor fotógrafo de água do mundo, Ray Collins é o homem por trás dessas imagens surpreendentes, que parecem capturar o momento mais crucial da onda, pouco antes dela quebrar e afundar de volta na água. As fotos abaixo são do site de Collins. Lucas Lucas tem 20 anos, é de São Paulo/SP, e dono do site e página Mistérios do Mundo. Getty Images Sports Photographer Robert Cianflone Reporting from Sochi… In the picture above, taken on January 30th 2014, you see more than 315,000 Euro worth of Canon camera gear or 425,659.59 US dollars! That’s the value of a house and more than a Lamborghini Aventador!!! Now pick up your jaw, put it back into place, wipe away the drool and read about how the pictured gear wasn’t even around seven years ago. When IOC President Jacques Rogge announced in July 2007 that Sochi was named as the host city of the 2014 Winter Games, the Getty Images global operations team went into full swing to begin preparations. Even though the actual event only runs for 16 days, years of planning are required to bring an event together so it runs seamlessly for all those involved. At this point the venues that will host the games haven’t even been built! The team has to find out as much information as possible in advance. Where are the venues? So what’s changed about the gear you see now to how it was seven years ago? Back then we had the MkIIN cameras with a crop sensor.

Pro Tip: Use Leading Lines to Enhance Your Portraits Anybody who has ever tried to capture a great portrait knows just how important composition is. The rule of thirds, golden spiral, leading lines and more are not just important for landscapes — these rules can take your portraits to the next level as well. And that’s exactly what the good people at Weekly Imogen demonstrate in the short and simple (but extremely useful) tutorial below on using leading lines to enhance your portrait photography. Whether it’s train platforms, a beautiful wall, a well-placed corner, or even carefully arranged arms and/or legs, leading lines can ensure your viewer’s eye is naturally guided towards your subject. Just search for portrait on 500px and you’ll see this technique in use all over the place. Here are just a few great photos we found that use leading lines in one way or another to help make the photo more pleasing and easier to digest: This is just scratching the surface.

Fotógrafo registra a leveza das bailarinas no cenário urbano de NY Durante 12 anos o fotógrafo Dane Shitagi reuniu em fotografias a beleza livre de bailarinas no cenário urbano de Nova York. As ruas da metrópole serviram para contrastar com a delicadeza dos movimentos das bailarinas, sem que o foco fosse o balé – ou a dança. Intitulado Ballerina Project, Dane teve a preocupação de congelar a emoção e a alma de cada uma das dançarinas para dar imaginação ao fluxo da essência de cada uma delas. Neste projeto, que teve início com as impressões fotográficas em março de 2012, a maioria das meninas é dançarina profissional e a minoria é do nível avançado. Lindo! | via
Adobe Expands DNG Specification to Include Lossy Compression Adobe has officially added lossy compression into the latest specification (1.4) for its Digital Negative (DNG) RAW file format. The new Lossy DNG, which first appeared as a feature in Lightroom 4 earlier this year, gives photographers a middle-ground between the quality of lossless DNG photos and the small file size of JPEG photos. DNG is an open RAW format competing against the proprietary RAW formats used by most major camera brands. The US Library of Congress has even recommended the format as a more suitable for preserving digital images for the long haul, since it’s unknown whether software in the future will still be able to read the proprietary RAW formats used today. The Pentax K-30 and the Leica M9: two cameras that can save DNG RAW files RAW files are huge, and JPEGs are small. If you look at the output of a [Canon EOS] 5D Mark II, its Raw files are about 25MB, while its JPEGs are about 6MB. The RAW file is demosaiced, to produce a RGB file similar to a TIFF or BMP. P.S.
