Shooting and Post Processing In Iceland
While I was in Iceland earlier this year I recorded some videos about what I was seeing and why I was photographing it. Here’s one of them I did while on the Iceberg beach (not the official name) 🙂
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.
Defringing Selection Edges
Hey there! Here’s a quick video on a trick that I learned a few weeks ago. If you’re making selections and trying to place one object in to another background, sometimes there’s a little fringe left over from the original background. Sure, we can brush it manually, but there’s also a shortcut to help speed things up. Check out the video to find out what it is. Enjoy!
What To Do When the Shoot Goes Haywire
THE KITESURFING TRIP THAT WASN’T: As you guys know, last month Stacey, some friends and I took kitesurfing gear, photography equipment, and 6-week-old baby Pike to South Texas to kite and photograph in warm water for 10 days. I’ll get it right out of the way. This trip did not go as planned, but we had a blast anyway.
