Determining which type of workflow to use (03/19/2008)
(...) Remember, you’re not just dealing with the handful of images you’re processing today, you’re positioning yourself to manage the images you accumulate over the years. Picture your situation a decade from now, when you may have thousands or hundreds of thousands of images to search through in order to find one specific shot. Good habits now can help you find that picture later. (...)

Using wide angle lenses creatively (02/29/2008)
(...) Wide-angle views also help create separation between your subject and a cluttered background. Just as telephoto lenses compress apparent foreground to background distance, wide-angle lenses expand it. This can be a wonderful tool for giving your subject primacy, while still keeping enough information in the background to be useful, without being distracting. (...)

Digital cameras offer photographers great control (02/29/2008)
(...) Many people think that photography documents reality; but in truth, it only captures incredibly brief moments. How many tasks do you perform in your everyday life that can be measured in 1/30 of a second? Yet 1/30 of a second is considered a slow shutter speed in photographic terms. One of the greatest modern photographers, Henri Cartier Bresson, is best known for expressing the need to capture the decisive moment—the split second when action is at its peak and emotion at its most intense. (...)

Shooting close ups of flowers with and without lighting improvements (02/29/2008)
(...) You want enough distance between the plant and your background so that the material is out of focus. Fortunately, because you’re doing close-up photography, your depth of field will be very shallow to begin with, and keeping the background out of focus shouldn’t be difficult. 4. (...)

Finding Quality Light (02/29/2008)
(...) As a result, a whole generation of photographers learned that they need a lot of light to take pictures, which doesn’t really apply to today’s photography. With higher ISO settings, better quality films, and sensors, it’s possible to take good photos in relatively low amounts of light. Yet many people still think they need lots of light to take good pictures. (...)

We live in a photogenic world (02/29/2008)
(...) Many of the problems you run into when photographing people may be due to bad photography habits you’ve developed over the years. If you never receive feedback about these habits, you just keep on making the same mistakes and taking the same bad photo over and over. The result is that unfocused, undirected picture of someone that’s too far away. (...)

Prefocusing for cameras with shutter lag (02/29/2008)
(...) Instead, you should follow the athlete in the viewfinder as she travels so the camera moves in concert with the motion—a technique known as panning. Then, when the time comes to trip the shutter, you’ll be in sync with the action. You can also use panning, when light levels are too low to permit fast shutter speeds. (...)

Photographic Subjects (02/29/2008)

Sports (02/29/2008)
(...) When you get these times, consider turning to the bench and making some head shots of the players. At the rink I usually shoot at, the player’s area receives about two f-stops less light than the ice, so plan accordingly. One other thing about ice hockey is that the overhead lights reflect off the ice and bounce back up on the players, creating nice, even lighting. (...)

(...) Set your exposure compensation for as much as two extra f-stops compensation to make sure the skiers are properly exposed; otherwise, the camera will show gray snow and dark skiers. Photograph cross-country skiers head on with a telephoto lens. Make close-ups of the colorful clothing the athletes wear and of the colorful waxes they use. (...)

Prepping the Camera (02/28/2008)
(...) Because these cameras tend to drain batteries quickly, I always recommend taking along a supply of rechargeable batteries instead of regular ones. Rechargeable batteries come in several forms, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. An Internet search for digital camera batteries provides a long list of battery suppliers and options. (...)
