Featured Article: Off-Camera Flash: How to Get the Right Flash Exposure
BetterPhoto pro instructor Jim Zuckerman prefers off-camera flash because: 1) The light is much more dramatic, 2) The subjects have pronounced texture and dimension, and 3) I like to avoid that flat, pasty look of on-camera flash. Read his excellent article on how to get the best exposure! Read Jim Z's photo article on exposure...

New Photo Discussion 3: Dancing in The Snow
- Shawna Scabar See Shawna's Basic BetterPholio™ Response 1:Hi Shawna, That was shot on good old fashioned film (Tri-X, 400 ISO)... Lots of folks still shoot film (including me!)... Cameras are cheap compared to digital (you can get a used Elan 7 or 7e from a place called keh.com and find a camera for well under $100!)...or if you spend a bit more, you can get an EOS3 or EOS 1v (still the best film camera I have ever used)... Color negative film can still be processed and scanned - viola, you have your image in digital format! I use a great lab called Richard Photo Lab in LA (http://richardphotolab.com) and they have become the place for portrait and wedding photographers to send their work for processing and scanning. I highly recommend them! Hope that helps (probably more than you expected ;-) P.S.: Richard Photo Lab can also scan silver-based films like Tri-X in addition to the c41 (color negative films). There's even a c41 b & w film available that gives you some advantages in scanning...though I'm kind of a film purist and LOVE Tri-X. | |

I love it! - Sarah A. Christian See Sarah's Basic BetterPholio™ Visit schristian-photography.com - Sarah's Deluxe BetterPholio™ Response 1:Simply beautiful Jillian. Great eye to see this and capture it so perfectly. Love all the colors and abstract feel the ripples give it. - Marcie Fowler See Marcie's Basic BetterPholio™ Response 2:One more reason for all of us to look beyond the beauty of the obvious... to the water and the reflections created by its own palette. Congratulations for seeing and capturing both a fantastic image and the Gold! - Karen E. Baumann See Karen's Basic BetterPholio™ Read this discussion online Respond to this discussion | |
