Interns, Educators, and the Aspiring

By Carol E. | 5/21/2013 12:26 PM CST |

I combined eight subjects to complete a home-shopping website to post online. If you are a business, creative design, or writing student, you may wish to approach your professors to ask if they would give you credit for this website that you create by using the skills you learn from me and utilizing the subjects above. You will be provided with a template that may take you independently too long a time to get ready for your class. Your lessons with me will enable you to focus while co-piloting until you are ready to pilot the craft. I have already completed the entirety of steps (at least four...

Not just an Art Teacher

By Amanda O. | 9/2/2012 3:12 PM CST |

Who is Amanda O.? Just another art teacher in Philadelphia? I am indeed an art teacher in the Philadelphia School District, but am so much more than that. While some students have the misconception that teachers just hatch from an egg as is, we know that's not true. I have many parts to me, as I am sure you have to you. I am a world traveler, who loves exploring new places, but also loves home more than anywhere. I also truly love helping others. During the summers of 2004 and 2005 I was able to combine these two passions by volunteering for a Christian service group called Project Serve. Our...

Settling down in Tucson, making photos!

By Gary O. | 9/16/2011 3:55 PM CST |

I've completed the move from Charlotte to Tucson, and am mostly settled in.

It's a good feeling to have my photo workflow set up and be making photos again. The monsoon weather has made for some amazing images.

Photo 101

By Geoffrey K. | 8/22/2011 2:26 PM CST |

Photography

My thinking, if a photographer wants to make the best pictures possible, there is only one step.

-Get it right in the camera.

(Sure there are some whom live and die by Photoshop and multi layered 17 image composite, but that is not most of us)

Of course there are issues to consider to make that happen.

1. Exposure. knowing that the camera's light meter is not always accurate one must think ahead of the meter and know how to get the best exposure.

2. Composition. Although they are called the 'Rules of Composition' they are more like guidelines. Asymmetry is better for creating interest.

The Great Bugaboo: File Resolution

By Carl G. | 7/14/2011 12:33 AM CST |

Often people have the mistaken belief that images that look great on their web site should also work well when they grab them from their site and provide them to printing service providers. Web images display very well at 72 pixels per inch (often referred to as ppi) on a computer screen but printed images on paper or other substrates work best at 240 ppi and above for various forms of inkjet printers, and 300 ppi and above for offset printing purposes. (There is a little bit of wiggle room in these suggested image resolutions, however scaling an image with correct resolution upwards beyond...

Lights, Camera, Composition

By Peter T. | 6/22/2011 10:50 PM CST |

Photography

Now that the world of photography has gone digital EVERYONE has a camera at their disposal. We have them on our phones, computers, watches and just about everywhere we can imagine. This has brought on an explosion of an interest in photography.

Now everyone believes that they are photographers. However, there is more to photography than just taking pictures. If you "point and shoot" and don't put forth any more effort than that into the photograph then you are a "picture taker". One thing to take into consideration before giving yourself the title of "photographer" is to learn about your...
