Weekend Perusing: Be Prepared
In the Photoblogosphere:
Haje over at Photocritic has an absolutely wonderful post on the ideal photo shoot. The concept is simple yet profound as an exercise of the mind. Perhaps I’ll dream up my perfect photo shoot and put it to action.
On the complete other side of that spectrum is an article on Confessions [...]
The Small Format Camera
Modern small cameras serve well in many different situations. If you own a medium format, large format, SLR, or DSLR, then I highly recommend also having a small camera as well. This can of course mean a 35mm or digital compact point and shoot camera.
Perhaps it’s a matter of convenience or a change [...]
Turn Off Your Flash
Here at Your Photo Tips we often talk about using flash to enhance the overall beauty of your image by allowing you, as a photographer, to control and manipulate light.

Photokina
Wired has a great collection of announcements all in one place. Like a 3-D point and shoot, Pentax’s new entry level DSLR, Olympus’s micro Four Thirds digital camera and more. Great images for these announcements. The Four [...]
Red Eye
Not to be confused with pink eye, red eye can be just as bad for photographers. Okay, that might be a stretch. I have a two year old and she gave me pink eye a couple months back and that wasn’t fun at all. Truthfully, red eye is a complex problem with [...]
