Sensor Dust & Wet Cleaning (Part 3 of 3)
The final of our three-part video series on sensor dust. Here is Part 3 on wet cleaning a digital sensor. Enjoy! Note: A list of links to the products I use are below…
Apps for Android & IOS
Whether you use Android, IOS, Mac or PC you can backup and edit your mobile images on the fly and for free using Dropbox and Snapseed. In this video I’ll showcase how I easily edit and automatically backup my mobile images and video to access in ON1 Browse or Lightroom on any computer I use.
Sensor Dust (Part 2 of 3) Dry Sensor Cleaning
We’re moving on with part two of this three-part video series on sensor dust. In this video I’ll go over how to protect and clean your sensor short of wet swabbing it and how to create a reference image to check how clean the sensor is.
An American Ascent On the Big Screen
Hey everybody. As many of you know I spent a good part of the summer of 2013 as the cinematographer/still-photographer for An American Ascent, a documentary film on Denali (previously Mount Mckinley). It’s toured the festival circuit and garnered a number of awards over the past year.
Print Week: Day 4 – Making Your Own Print
Now that we’ve finish edited our file, calibrated our monitor and soft-proofed the image, it’s time to make a print. I’ll showcase my workflow for creating a small test print (a hard-proof) before printing this image big. Tomorrow Matt is going to share a video about how to send your images off to have printed at a lab.
Print Week: Day 3 – Monitor Calibration and Softproofing
If you want to get really accurate prints, calibrating your monitor is critical. Without a well calibrated monitor, it’s tough to know if you are viewing accurate tones and colors as you edit and softproof your images. In the video below I’ll show you how I use my i1 Display Pro colorimeter to calibrate my display.
Print Week: Day 1 – Processing and Finish Editing Your Image
We are so excited to kick off print week! Each day we’ll be covering a variety of topics to help you get your image from the digital darkroom to the wall. Soft-proofing, monitor calibration, printing yourself, sending prints out? We are covering it. Here’s a short print week introduction video that will let you know what to expect in the days ahead.
Demystifying Sensor Size
I hear a lot of questions related to lenses and sensor size. What is the difference between Full Frame and APS-C (a.k.a. Crop Frame)? Can I use Full Frame lenses on APS-C sensors or vice-versa? If so, how does that affect my image? Is one size better than the other? I’ve also heard and read some answers to these questions that either aren’t exactly accurate or are way too technical for most enthusiasts to enjoy. In this post I aim to simply answer these questions without getting too deep in the technical weeds.
