Photography News

Journal Entry: Wed Aug 25, 2010, 8:37 AM
Been awhile since I did this and thought I would take a few minutes and share with you all some interesting things which I have this morning while reading my news feeds. There are some great tips and tricks in these as well, which may be beneficial to you as a photographer. So without any delay let's dive on in!

Want to become a better photographer? [link] -- This is one that every photographer on DA should read (well, perhaps most at least) Dan's blog is awesome, I always look forward to his writing. This entry though, yeah, it has some great stuff in it that really says it all.

Part of Landscape Photography is the Journey [link] --- Not sure I agree entirely with this article, but I certainly can't say that it isn't a great read because it is! Another photoblog I follow on a regualr basis

10 Ways For Photographers to Become More Popular in Social Media [link] --- In this day and age, social media is essential if you take your photography seriously, especially if you want to promote yourself as a shooter. I really like this blog in general which is geared towards professional photographers, a lot of time there is some excellent info on here!

How to Find Your Own Artistic Voice [link] --- While geared towards fine artists, anyone can use this article no matter the medium which they work in, photographers included! Often time we lose, or wonder how to find our voice.

Honoring Nature with Lightroom??? [link] --- This is a very interesting blog and Rob's work is top notch. It sort of addresses the old debate "I don't edit my photos" vs. "I edit my photos", with regards to the camera is not able to duplicate the scene and see as the human eye can and does. Good read!

15 Digital Point-and-Shoot Cameras Used By Pro Photographers [link] ---
Because pro's don't use compacts! lol Guess what? You are wrong.

Use These Simple Techniques to Change the Composition of Your Photographs [link] --- One of the best photography blogs around, packed with info, this is a great read that will surely help many folks to better balance their images.

Six Reasons That Great Photos Alone Won’t Make You a Success [link] ---
Again, Black Star Rising Photography Blog hits a home run. And yet again, something that most photographers should read.

And with that, I am off to get working
Have a nice day everyone
Johnny

Love your stuff. Is your eye that catches this stuff. :-) A mix of Nature's beauty with a few classic cars sprinkled in. I am sure you could use a 100 year old camera and you would still take beautiful Photos.

Wonderful stuff.
