Fall Colors

tn_dsc00040I just love the fall and all the colors from trees and bushes. This is a great time to go looking for photos and different opportunities for pictures. If you live in the north east area of the US you will see many different colors. Reds, browns, and yellows and everything in between.

Fall is a great time of year to get out there and take some photos. As I have said take a lot you can always delete the ones that you don’t like later. If you run out of room on your Sony cybershot memory card buy a bigger one. They are cheap now days and it will prevent you from editing in the field. You might get rid of a picture that you would have wanted. Happy Hunting

domino-high-keyWhen deciding what to shoot and when to shoot it. Hey its digital just shoot it you can always delete it afterward. Sometimes we get to wrapped up in what might be a great picture. Let your juices flow and let the shutter fly. Think outside the box. Try to view thing from a different perspective. Look at the world from new eyes (your camera). Lat on your belly, stand on a ladder, or just try something new and unexpected.

If you take the same old photo try it from a new point of view.   Torotech dominos show a good example of viewing things from adifferent angle. Try using a Conon po0wershot to get the photoo you want.  Be interesting you don’t have to be the best but for god sake be interesting.

Melted Wax on My Nikon Lens

32848557-2-200-0Does anyone know how to get melted wax off my Nikon D70s lens? A friend of mine blew out some candles and spilled wax on my lens. I have been scraping it off but it is very slow and hard to remove. I know how to get it off cloth with a hot iron and paper towel. I can’t really do that with my camera though.  I might have to buy a new one, No i won’t I will clean it off but if any of you know how and a safe easy way to get this done I am all ears.

I had my camera out on her kitchen counter and left it there after i was done playing with it. Let this be a lesson to you. When your done playing with it put it away. Lol Visit my favorite online camera store.

The Art of the Candid Shot

Have you ever seen a photo in a magazine or newspaper that looked a little too perfect? These are the shots that are so on-target that they capture a fleeting moment perfectly. This is either the result of excellent timing or of careful rehearsal and staging. As an amateur photographer, you should eschew the second option and work on your ability to anticipate and snap great candid photos.

Placement, timing and anticipation are key, so be sure to have your Sony Cybershot digital camera where the action is most likely to take place. If you’re documenting a sporting event, keep your lens trained on the field of play and be patient. In time, snapping a picture at just the right moment will be a matter of reflex and habit. Don’t be afraid to take plenty of pictures in rapid succession, either – you’ll have plenty of storage space.

Tripods and their uses

41edha1p9bl_sl500_aa280_Tripods are great for getting yourself in the picture. Often times you are left out of the photo because you are behind the camera taking the picture. So now you have lots of pictures but none are of you. I realized this when someone asked for a recent photo of me…….well i had none. Solution; a tripod and the automatic timer on most cameras these days. Just set the tripod up, attach your camera, set the self timer, and get your butt in the picture.

The Velbon tripod (for example) is also very useful for low light photos (night time). As well as landscapes, still life (fruit baskets), and portraits. Once you get used to shooting with a tripod you will wonder how you ever got along without one. The pictures you do take will be sharper, more infocus, and better compossed.  Go ahead and tell me how you use your tripod.

Contrary to popular belief, even the routines and household objects associated with everyday life can provide excellent photographic fodder. It’s true that travel photos and dynamic nature shots draw most of the accolades, but there’s an art to capturing “slices of life” as well. For example, you can utilize regular point and shoot cameras to collect photographic evidence of a delightful family get-together.

Pictures of food appeal to many senses at once, and there are a number of tricks you can use to make the photographs just as palatable as the real thing. Ty locking the focus on one part of the dish – maybe a turkey leg at Thanksgiving – and allow the background imagery to blur. The more artistic the shot, the more you’ll savor the resulting photograph. You should also include some elements of the table setting and décor into your images.
