    September Monthly Assignment: Weathered

    I won't even go into detail about how many miles I put on my car, or how many hours were spent driving around looking for an old tractor for this month's challenge these past couple weeks. This one was a last minute scramble to get the shot before my light was gone. Nikon D300s 5 bracketed...

    Post your latest purchases.

    Added a Glow 32" 5-in-1 reflector to my lighting modifier arsenal. Used it (rather, my lovely assistant did) on a couple recent outdoor shoots, and I'm glad I finally pulled the trigger on this...been wanting a reflector for a looooong time.

    Nikonites T-Shirt Design Contest

    Meet Nikonites 2.0! I have simplified the logo and given it an updated/modern look by incorporating the letter "n" as a camera body in the logo. This would look good across all mediums, not just on a t-shirt: site logo, favicon, coffee mugs, etc. I have included the same design on 4 shirts...

    The Photographer's Guide to SEO

    Resources I will briefly touch on some SEO resources here. There is way too much information to elaborate on. SEO is not a weekend project, and you're not going to glean everything you need to know by reading these 4 posts. SEO is an ongoing marketing effort, and it is ever-changing. It's...

    The Photographer's Guide to SEO

    On-Site SEO The #1 reason why you should own your domain name is because it places you firmly in the driver's seat. Having a free site or a subdomain places serious limitations on your SEO efforts. I cannot stress this enough: if you're not in control of your SEO efforts, your site might as...

    The Photographer's Guide to SEO

    If you've read any number of posts in this particular section of the forum, you've undoubtedly come across the term SEO, which stands for Search Engine Optimization. But what exactly is SEO, why is it important, and what can you do about it? You're about to find out... For the purpose of this...

    Johnny Rotten

    Testing out a new setup for kids. My son CJ got in on the action and let out a primal scream for the camera. That's not a wall with wallpaper, it's just a 5x7 fabric print hung over a backdrop stand with a 6' section of primed white base baseboard clamped at the bottom. That's not a wood floor...

    Kenko Extension Tubes - First Product Photography Attempt

    Here's one of my first attempts. I was using a white cloth backdrop underneath the plexiglass, which mottled the shadow. Pro tip: use a piece of white foamboard or something without texture:

    "Serious" Photographers . . . food for thought

    WPO is a good organization, seems to be one of the last of a dying breed. I'm going to have to start doing some homework and look for that logo a lot more often: http://artists-bill-of-rights.org/ [EDIT] Proudly wearing this badge on my About page.

    Kenko Extension Tubes - First Product Photography Attempt

    I said in another thread, and I'll repeat it again here: product photography is difficult. Kudos for even attempting to do this, because in my opinion, it's quite challenging. Photographing "stuff" in such a pleasing way that it prompts others to want to buy it...yeah, there's a lot more to this...

    Reuters gives freelance sports photographers the heave-ho

    NPPA article I won't bore anyone with the gory details, because I don't think we have any freelancers here on the boards anyway. But this is just another kick in the nuts for editorial photographers. All Reuters sports photographers have been reassigned to other jobs, or let go. Reuters will...

    Question for the group on two versions of the same image

    The Rule of Thirds is based on the Golden Ratio, which artists and architects have used for centuries. It's difficult to argue with its application when it comes to art and aesthetics. I agree that most rules of composition can be broken, but the Rule of Thirds is hard to get around, especially...
