Part 1 in this series, explained the importance of “depth of field” in conveying a sense of three dimensions in a photograph.  The next three tips are useful when taking pictures with great depth of field – like landscapes.  In these images, using shallow depth of field is not an option, because of the necessity to have as much of the scene in focus as possible. So how does our eye/brain interpret distance in scenes with extreme depth of field? The technique suggested in this tip is... Read Full Story

The borders of our pictures automatically provide viewers with two dimensions – height and width. Creating a 3-dimensional world on a flat computer monitor or a photographic print is a bigger challenge for the beginning photographer. But it is a critical skill that photographers master to add realism and draw viewers into their pictures. To add the sense of depth to pictures, we’ll first consider how our eye/brain combination senses three dimensions in the real world. By applying these visual... Read Full Story

Possibly the second most frequently asked question by the beginning photographer (after "Which camera should I buy?" ) is, "What accessories should I purchase next?" There's no correct answer to this question. Much of a photographer's secondary equipment is determined by his/her photographic specialty, preferences and shooting style. However, that doesn't stop Hub from publishing a recommended "what next" list for those new to photography. Some attempt has been made to prioritize this list... Read Full Story

As a result, the cost of prints might be out of reach for the readers I attempt to help in my digital photography blogs. I recently discovered a solution that makes it possible to provide an...

Photography goes through phases. The straight documentary use of photography, for which it was originally intended, remains constant. Life requires documentation by both family photographers and professionals. All those billions of pictures become our personal and shared global history. But there are processes and styles of photographic imagery that pass in and out of favor on a fairly regular basis. Black & white photography is a good example. It all began as black & white images when... Read Full Story
