Frank Düpmann: A tutorial on High Dynamic Range images.

Ruins of former Russian sanatoriums (near Berlin) – „natural“ settings The Dynamic Range (DR) of your favourite camera is limited – that‘s the bad news. It means that in „challenging“ light situations, either the higlights are blown or there are no details in shadows, all black. In the example above, either the windows would be [...]

John Dominick: Shaugh Bridge

I first visited Shaugh Bridge eight years ago and was instantly enchanted. I have since spent many hours in this beautiful wooded Devon valley, the mix of woodland, rocks and converging rivers being too much to resist. As landscape photographers many of us are drawn to water and for good reason. Water enhances the impact [...]

Michael Freeman: Hard Light, Graphic Image

Many photographers go to a lot of effort to soften light, making it gentler, kinder to a beautiful face or a still-life object. Diffusion, bouncing, reflection, these are all recommended, and recommended often. Soft shading and gauzy light that caresses the subject are effects that almost everyone seems to want. And most of the published [...]

Uri Golman: Magnetic North and the Mental Image

  There is something in the North that has worked like a magnet, drawing me in. It has been like that ever since I was a small child. The cold, the adventure, the wildlife and the age-old culture. The sense of being all alone and in the hands of nature. And the quiet reality that [...]

Michael Freeman: Night-time HDR….and definitely a tripod

First let’s get one thing clear. HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging does not mean startling and hyper-ventilated scenes. It can end up like that, but that’s to do with the processing, not with the basic principle of shooting a range of exposures that are then combined into a single image file which, if you do [...]

Jose Antunes – The pop-up flash should be more popular

Contrary to general belief, the popup flash in your camera is not as bad as some claim. In fact it can be your saviour many times, if you know how to use it. But having a flash free from the camera is still your best choice. This article was about the use of external flashes [...]

Timo Frey: Venice

Venice – The legendary place is perhaps one of the most photographed cities in the world. Millions of tourists visit the Italian city every year and most of them only during the daytime. But the city at night has an attraction of its own. After dark you’ll find a whole new city. A labyrinth of [...]

Nicola Cocco: Venice gondolas

  On the second half of the day spent here in Venice I decided to focus on gondolas. I have a lot of time before the sunset but the sky is not going to promise a good light at the end of the day. In Venice you can find gondolas everywhere, but I need a [...]

John Dominick: How to shoot seascapes

Having grown up within walking distance of the coast I’ve always felt an affinity with the sea and there is no finer place to hone your photography skills than a stretch of coastline. I’m forever amazed by the diversity of geology and sheer variety of habitat that the coast can offer, even in the most [...]
