Just a quick rant today. The proliferation of poor stock photos or stock photos used poorly has reached its culmination. Someone figured out that people are drawn to pictures. Those same people figured out if they wanted their text read by casually browsing readers, that a photo could grab some attention...

In my next-to-last post, I showed you the 12 monthly images deemed worthy in my mind to hold a special place. They were the watershed moments, flashes of insight and fortuitous circumstances that melded into an image of unique meaning to me and perhaps, me alone. You can view them here. I also like to...

Apparently, as evidenced by this example, Google’s new Social Media darling, Google+ loves to censor photos based upon certain keywords. I posted a picture on September 1st titled “Full-Frontal Hummingbird: Yesterday’s best capture.” A few days later it was replaced with this black graphic and an international...

© The answer this burning question with which so many struggle, I have devised these three perfect laws: IF I choose to create an image, it is mine. IF I choose to share it with you, you may look at it, but it is still mine. IF I choose to license it to you, you [...]

For a Digital Imaging Blog and a haven for Photography this is going to be an odd post. There are no images in this story-save the pictures suggested by this treatise and conjured in your mind. Disclaimer aside, let’s talk ruts. One of the things I love doing is see what other photographers are up [...

Read these words carefully. Just because something exists in a public domain, doesn’t mean that that something is public domain. Let me paraphrase. Just because a picture is posted on a website, doesn’t mean that it is free for all users without consequence. The World Wide Web came into existence (more...

At a recent seminar (the Hobby/McNally Flash Bus Tour) the subject of the catch light intruded. Commentary from the sage teachers was to minimize its importance. A quick read of the linked Wikipedia article above will give you the theory and practice of catch lights. I belong to several photographic...

Programs to manage our images have a proliferation of tools with which we can rank, rate and identify our photographs. Sometimes it can be a little daunting keeping track of what the difference is in a 3-Star and a 4-Star image. What does a red label mean, a blue label, no label. I use Adobe Photoshop...

In the event you missed one of the more memorable posts of 2010, here follows a recap. #3 Passport Photos: This article features a down-and-dirty way using Adobe Lightroom to quickly process an image into a suitable...

One Sunrise-One Location-Many Different Pictures Sometimes, just anchoring on a location and letting light happen is the best way to get several amazing shots. I was shooting in rural North Dakota over the July 4th weekend. Sunrise, being one of my favorite subjects, was one of my targets. The...

In the days prior to August 22, 2010 the Arch Rock formation at Tettegouche State Park on Minnesota’s North Shore of Lake Superior fell into the water. The Duluth Tribune reports the story here. Here are nine of my favorite images which I captured in the years preceding the arch’s fall. These images...

Everywhere you look today, images are getting, well…, crispy-crunchy-edgy-gritty; choose your adjective. Grunge • Crunch • Crispy • Edgy Some of this is the result of the the incredible infatuation both the viewing public and photographers have for HDR. Some of it is a response to flavor-of-the-week...

Light pollution is a real problem-especially for the night-time long-exposure crowd. You never think about the cumulative effect of reflected photons until you allow a device to gather them for you over a period of time. Case in point: The forecast for Aurora Borealis was favorable last Saturday...

I don’t blame most of the world for having become more skeptical of the appearance of photographs. During the past decade the acceptance and explosion of digital photography coupled with the proliferation of image editing programs has given, I think, too many tools into the hands of too irresponsible...

The occasion of rebuilding a computer means that you can clear away the clutter of years of aggregated software installs, previous versions and flat-out mistakes in strategies. It also means that old, disused, obsolete and no-longer-compatible software doesn’t make the cut. Recently I decided to take...
