Senior Portrait Photography Tips

Cindy Bracken writes, "Are you doing any senior photography? If not, you are losing out on a huge market for your photography business! Senior photography has become more and more popular, and is now viewed as a rite of passage. I know of many photographers who make nearly as much or more with seniors that they do with weddings! And if you ask me, senior portrait sessions are MUCH easier than weddings and other events."          Full Article

Olympus Stylus 750 Review at Cnet

Cnet wrote a review of the Olympus Stylus 750 and said: "The Olympus Stylus 750 is a very strong point-and-shoot camera, though its attractive images are hindered by mediocre performance. It has no manual exposure controls and isn't as responsive as we would like, but as a general snapshot camera, it's still a very good choice. If you want a Stylus but don't want to spend quite as much, the Olympus Stylus 740 is nearly identical to the 750."     Full Article

Food Photography Tips and Techniques

Low Jeremy writes, "Photographing food is probably one of the most challenging kinds of photography out there. It is considered difficult by most professional food photographers because there is a time constraint in the whole photo shoot. And since the marketability of the food itself depends primarily on how it is seen in print, food photographers should be well trained and skilled in order to come up with satisfying results."          Full Article

Lighting Tips in Nature Photography

Low Jeremy writes, "Lighting is one of the most important factors in taking photographs of natural subjects. Unlike with studio shots where you control the lights and the shadows, taking photos outside is a little bit more complicated. In addition to not being able to control your subject, you also have to take into consideration the elements especially the lighting. Of course for the seasoned photographer, natural light is no longer a hindrance. In fact, most photographers use light to create great effects and put color into an otherwise drab picture."         Full Article

Olympus Stylus 740 Review at Cnet

Cnet wrote a review of the Olympus Stylus 740 and said: "Both cameras performed nearly identically in our lab tests, save for one quirk: the Stylus 740 is slightly faster than the 750 in shot-to-shot time when the onboard flash is enabled. The 740 registered a 3.3-second flash recycle time, while the 750 took 4.5 seconds to accomplish that feat. Image quality between the two cameras was also similar; both produced very attractive photos with little distortion."     More

Olympus SP-510 UZ Review at Cnet

Cnet wrote a review of the Olympus SP-510 UZ and said: "At its best, the SP-510UZ can capture images with abundant detail and accurate-looking, well-saturated colors, with only very minor JPEG artifacting and little or no fringing. The camera's automatic white balance did an admirable job of serving up neutral colors under our lab's tungsten lights. Interestingly, the tungsten preset was less neutral, with a slight bluish-green cast."          Full Article

Digital Camera Aperture Settings

Jill Kane writes, "Apertures come in different sizes - all classified as 'f' numbers. Each number lets in double the amount of light as the previous one. The standard is between f/1.8 and f/16. The smaller the aperture, the less light that will be let in. So an f/16 lens will let in half the amount of light as an f/8 lens. The aperture works in conjunction with the shutter as well when it comes to the amount of light let in. The speed at which the shutter opens and shuts is also a factor with light."         Full Article

Fashion Photography Information

TJ Tierney writes, "A fashion photographer must be good in two photography disciplines. First, you need to be a great portrait photographer - second, you need to be able to create images for the advertisement market. You must be able to combine the two if you are going to succeed. To be a successful fashion photographer you must also have a love of fine design clothes - without it you will never achieve the heights that bring success. A fashion photographer must stay up to date with all the latest fashion and have the ability to use his/her imagination to sell new designs."         Full Article
