You may have loyalties to the likes of Sony, Canon, Nikon etc but you have to admit Samsung is shaking the tree when it comes to innovation … witness its NX DSLR-style camera! The company first introduced a twin screen compact camera with the ST550 late in 2009. I have to admit the idea got to [...]Post from: Digital Photography School - Photography Tips.

Our last community workshop gave one of our readers some great tips on how to approach photographing a model so I’ve decided to post another reader question. This one is a question I get quite a bit – how do I photograph the birth of a baby? Here’s the latest question from one of our readers [...]Post from: Digital Photography School - Photography Tips.

It can be exciting photographing a newborn so compose a list of shots you want to take before you pick up the camera. Grab these ‘safe shots’ first and once you have this selection in the bag, start to get creative with new angles and ideas. The best lens to use when photographing any type of [...]Post from: Digital Photography School - Photography Tips.

Time for another dPS poll. This one is for DSLR users (which is the vast majority of our readers) and revolves around the type of lenses being used in our community. Do You Primarily Shoot with Zoom or Prime Lenses? A quick recap for those not familiar with prime lenses – in short they’re a fixed focal [...]Post from: Digital Photography School - Photography Tips.

One effecct that many of our readers experiment is creating custom Bokeh shapes. It’s a fun DIY little project for a rainy day – this video tells you how to do it. The video is by Lucas Ridley.

Professional and semi-professional American photographers might soon face a new set of administrative and accounting requirements that could bury them in tax paperwork – unless they act now. As part of the new healthcare reform legislation approved by the U.S. Congress this year, business owners must now report to the IRS on an income tax [...]Post from: Digital Photography School - Photography Tips.

Weekly Assignment This week we photographed a subject that is near and dear to me, Books. A good book can create a story, transport you to somewhere new, help you relax, give you a laugh, or make you think. And we had all of those in our winners this week.

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.

Your challenge this weekend is to take and share a photo of you with your camera. Yep – it’s self portrait time – but we want to not only see you (or part of you – you can have some anonymity if you prefer) but also your prize and joy – your camera (whatever it might [...]Post from: Digital Photography School - Photography Tips.

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.

On our last poll, we asked a general (yet hard) question - what would you need to do in order to improve your photography. There are some great responses there and thanks for everyone who opened up and answered this not-so-easy-to-expose question. Our of that question a few main groups were identified 1. I need more time 2. I need better skills 3. I need better equipment I have and will tackle all those issues on the blog, however this time I would like to focus on the third item - Gear.

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...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Diyphotographynet/~3/pFbFue1ezZ0/diy-flashbender http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Diyphotographynet/~3/pFbFue1ezZ0/diy-flashbender 1 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...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Diyphotographynet/~3/xY5nmqC7R2E/a-diy-9shooter-shooting-stills-video-simultaneously-audio-too http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Diyphotographynet/~3/xY5nmqC7R2E/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...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Diyphotographynet/~3/3y0eY_v15ko/a-diy-clip-gel-holder http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Diyphotographynet/~3/3y0eY_v15ko/a-diy-clip-gel-holder 30 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. read more ...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Diyphotographynet/~3/zND2aofJoas/interview-with-caleb-charland http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Diyphotographynet/~3/zND2aofJoas/interview-with-caleb-charland 29 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.

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...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Diyphotographynet/~3/yrKD0NH9A1U/photek-softligher-ii-a-product-review http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Diyphotographynet/~3/yrKD0NH9A1U/photek-softligher-ii-a-product-review 25 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.

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.

It requires nothing more than an iPhone, a Fresnel sheet magnifier and a sample piece of beam spl...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Diyphotographynet/~3/2YxvVOzfu_w/sylights-goes-mobile-and-slr-allows-you-to-pre-check-your-lighting http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Diyphotographynet/~3/2YxvVOzfu_w/sylights-goes-mobile-and-slr-allows-you-to-pre-check-your-lighting 24 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...]]>
