Photographic creativity can sometimes be elusive, you can have it one moment and then the next it will be gone. We can also become complacent with our photographic style and after months of photographing start to realize that everything looks the same or has the same feeling. This is called the complacency theory and it works something like this: you come across a new technique and you like it and it’s very exciting so you keep photographing using it for a few months. As you start to look at your photographs they start to look stale, the same and uncreative. This also leads to self-doubt,” am I a good photographer” or “is this all I can do?” Here are 20 techniques that may help you get back your creativity, if nothing else they’ll make you look at your photographs in a different way.
Now go out and be creative. no comments HDR with Photomatic Exposure Fusion In this video you will learn how to create a photo realistic HDR image using Photomatix Pro’s Exposure Fusion and then finish the photo in Lightroom. no comments I love Photoshop World. Not just all the great instructors, classes and events, but seeing all friends and coworkers that work the conference. Photoshop World also has a great Tec Expo with some of the biggest photo and Photoshop manufactures and retail vendors. One of the exhibitors was Westcott, they sell lighting equipment and modifiers. In Orlando they set up a shooting area with four different themes and models that changed each day. Here are a few photos from their booth.  Bert Monroy in the graveyard set.  Bert and his over 20 foot image that took him over 3 1/2 years to complete.  RC being shown how to wear a dress by a model.  This was supposed to be a Lady Gaga setup.
My photo from that set. Here is V in all his glory. I never thought I would see Vanelli in a dress!!!!!!!! A softer side of V! One I hope I don't see again. no comments Double Process in Photomatix Pro Double processing an HDR images is a great way to give it a Illustrative look and in this video I will show you how to double process in PhotoMatix Pro and then use some finishing touches in Lightroom. no comments Lightroom – 6 Exporting Here is a video that will show you how to Export your photos from Lightroom. no comments
But it’s not just having the images on the iPad that’s great, if you’re photographer you are going to love some of the apps that you can buy or get free that will help in your everyday photographic endeavors. There is a Photoshop app and every kind of app you can think of that will adjust or create a new look for your photo, all you have to do is search Apples’s App Store for photography and you’ll get pages upon pages of apps for manipulate your photographs on your iPad. It’s not just for photography, there are a great number of apps that will help your business, everything from writing, storing, time management, and you get the idea. I love Apples’s Mobile Me, as it allows me to sync all my Apple devices, home computer, laptop, iPhone and iPad without actually having to connect them to each other, it’s all done with the cloud system. This alone makes my life easier since I know everything has the same updated information on it. Now that I am a new iPad owner you become part of the iPad community where everyone is showing you the apps that they have and telling you what apps you need to get to make your iPad even better. Which, because you don’t want to be rude, you downloading and you get trapped into buying more apps and sharing more apps with everyone else. It’s a vicious circle. Did I tell you that I love my iPad, I just want to make sure. show 1 comment Randy! You’ve done a great job with all your sites. Amazing! So you got an Ipad2. Man! See ya soon! Marc |
