Getting started
Once you have the intention and the funds (see Part 1 of Becoming a Pro Photographer) in place it’s time to consider the legality, rules and regulations and all the red tape of what you need to do. In the UK the government provide a range of free half-day training sessions to help self-employed [...]Post from: Digital Photography School - Photography Tips.

Travel Photography Subjects: Food Preparation2 September 2010, 1:07 pm
Going hand in hand with the previous Travel Photography Subject: Food, is what goes on behind the scenes. Some will consider food and food preparation one and the same and photograph them as such. But I have often found the ceremony, skill, art and heart that goes into creating the meal deserves its own [...]Post from: Digital Photography School - Photography Tips.

The Digital Female Nude [Book Review]1 September 2010, 5:27 pm
Female nude photography has always intrigued me, particularly how a sense of trust is created between photographer and model.
What I find even more intriguing is how, as Australian photographer Peter Adams does in the majority of this book’s pictures, is how he convinces a model to pose outdoors in and on often forbidding — and [...]Post from: Digital Photography School - Photography Tips.

Nikon Coolpix P100 [Review]30 August 2010, 1:17 pm
I fondly remember earlier digicams like the Coolpix 5400 way back in 2003, complete with 5.1 million pixels, a 4x zoom lens and a vari-angle LCD viewfinder. Dirt cheap at AUD1599!
In terms of the Coolpix 5400, the new Nikon Coolpix P100 is definitely retro style-wise, with a severe kick up the tech specs posterior! It’s [...]Post from: Digital Photography School - Photography Tips.

An Interview With Professional Nature Photographer Jon Cornforth30 August 2010, 7:24 am
I was blown away the first time I saw Jon Cornforth’s images. Even more so because many of the images were taken in my native Washington State. While we have many talented photographers in our fine state, I was also impressed with how personable Jon was on Twitter and when I subsequently emailed him [...]Post from: Digital Photography School - Photography Tips.

Control Your Flash Settings With a TV Remote Control2 September 2010, 9:13 am
Controlling your strobe from a distance has always been a priority for off camera flash photographers. If TTL works for you, you can extend your TTL cable quite a bit using a simple Cat5e hack.
But what if you could do this remotely. and I mean skipping the whole walking to the flash and adjusting it bit. (Or asking your assistant to do so, assuming you have an assistant). Up until now remote controlling your strobe like this was a benefit saved for Profoto Air Remote ($325 remote only) and pro...

DIY FlashBender1 September 2010, 12:42 am
In this post reader Bob Jordan walks us through a DIY one-piece, strobe modifier, which is kinda like a FlashBender. Which in turn kinda remind me of the Honl system (which also has a Honl DIY version).
I am a big fan of the Honl speed strap system and have been using it along with my DIY straps and other additions for a long time. The high control along with the very light weight serve as an excellent on the go modifier system. While I have never tried the Bender, it looks like a worthy altern...

A DIY 9Shooter: Shooting Stills & Video Simultaneously & Audio Too!31 August 2010, 7:06 am
The post below shows a simple way to capture video while taking still pictures. Sure, there is some added weight and yea, video will not get a dedicated person and will just "follow along", yet, this is a neat way to achieve video with just one person shooting, This is also a great instructional tool for yourself to see how you interact with your model, what things work and what makes them shrink.
There are two versions for this mod - a dueler which mounts a DSLR with a video camera and a 9Shoot...

A DIY Clip Gel Holder30 August 2010, 12:16 pm
We have featured some awsome gel holders on the site before. But never one with this simple approach. It is fast to mount, easy to use and leave no residue on the strobe.
It also fits any size flash and any size gel, how cool is that?
Thanks, Jerry R Hamby, for this awsome build.

Interview With Caleb Charland29 August 2010, 7:45 am
Caleb Charland is a photographer that captures the everyday physical phenomena which we never think about in a unique and inspiring way.
DIYP was lucky enough to have Caleb for an interview.
DIYP: Can you tell us about yourself and your background?
CC: When I talk about my work I need to share the experiences that made me wonder. Those moments when I began to think about the world, to show from where the pieces fell.
I grew up in a do it yourself household and learned to appreciate the power th...

Ghetto Magic Arm From An Old Golf Club26 August 2010, 8:53 am
Photographer David Martinez thought that $110 is a bit too much for a magic arm. He came up with his own version for half the price. It's all David from here.
Over the years I have found a few broken clubs laying near tee boxes on golf courses. Graphite shafts are usually very stiff and I always thought they might be repurposed. So I have collected a few of them. Well it just happened that I was in thinking about buying a Magic Arm recently. A friend had one and it was pretty sweet but the pric...

Photek SoftLigher II - A Product Review25 August 2010, 12:43 am
Lately I've been finding myself wanting more out of my all around umbrella. I've been using the Westcott double fold umbrella for a long time now as my main on location modifier. While I am generally happy with it as a softening device, I wanted to have some more options in my bag without giving up on portability.
The Softlighter II by Photek provides an interesting option for that sake. I've been using it for a few days and in general I am pretty happy.
The images on this review are from a rec...

DIY iPhone Teleprompter24 August 2010, 4:28 am
UPDATE: Martin Just added an explanatory image of the model along with a sketchup model for the matte box. See image and links at the bottom of the page.
DIYP don't often feature video or iPhone hack. It does, but not often. When I see a hack that is both video and iPhone, though, the little geek inside of me simply commands a post.
Reader Martin Taylor came up with a very cool teleprompter project. It requires nothing more than an iPhone, a Fresnel sheet magnifier and a sample piece of beam spl...

SyLights Goes Mobile And SLR Allows You To "Pre Check" Your Lighting24 August 2010, 4:09 am
Looks like the Strobist community is taking over the iPhone apps stores.
Two new members to that community - the new Studio Rig Locator and an iPhone port of SyLights.
SLR - Studio Rig Locator is an app that not only allows you to position lighting elements in the studio, but also allows a somewhat weird preview on the newly lit model. (this app is a paid app £3.49)
The other new iPhone App is a SyLights port to the iPhone. And really, I like the mobile version even more that I like the SyLigh...

Introduction To Radio Controlled Plane Aerial Photography23 August 2010, 10:47 am
Some time ago we introduced R/C Helicopter Arial Photography, however Helicopters are not the only thing that flies, in fact R/C planes are cheaper to get in the air.
Although they provide less control they are still a good option to get your camera up high and they are lots of fun to take pictures with.
In this tutorial -manuel- will explain how to apply a similar concept for still and RC planes which are much cheaper.
