Getting some good photography tips is a fundamental necessity before embarking on a trip to take landscape photos, especially if you are planning on using expensive equipment and selling the photographs for profit. Most people have taken a photography course and many people have even gotten art degrees that specialize in photography. It is still wise to visit a professional photography forum to get some tips from people who are working in the field, before taking any landscape photographs.

The reason that photography tips are so necessary is because taking landscape photos is not easy – in fact, they can be downright hard. When you take a photography course, you will probably learn about the important of choosing a good location and lighting, but it can be difficult to put these things in perspective without real world experience. A professional photography forum will provide all sorts of insight into these types of issues, and advice from the professionals can be priceless.

One of the best photography tips when it comes to landscape photos is look at where everything is positioned, the details and textures of the ground, where the sun is coming from and where it will be within a few hours. After taking a photography course, you will probably know something about how this will affect the way that the details of the landscape look. Choosing the location in the first place is the hardest part, though, and choosing a location that offers the best natural light for the longest period of time can present some real challenges. The people at a professional photography forum can help work through these issues.

There are many other technical photography tips that you can find in a good online forum, which might range from the positioning of the equipment to the actual printing of the photos. It’s one of the best ways to ensure a successful transition to professional photography.

Back in the day there was no such thing as digital photo editing. If you wanted to enhance your photos there simply weren’t any options. You just had to hope that your photos came out decent. Recent technology though, allows us to edit and enhance our digital photos after they’ve already been taken! Here are 3 simple ways that you can enhance your photos with digital photo editing software.

Digital Photo Editing Tip #1 – Cropping

Digital photo editing makes it easy to correct a digital photo that may not have been lined up very well. You always want to make sure that the focus of your photo, whether it be a person or an object, is in the middle of your frame. If it is not then you can use the crop feature to edit the photo so that the important parts of the photo are highlighted or centered. You can also crop a photo in order to clean up unnecessary background activity or to reduce the size of an image so that it can be more easily shared over the internet.

Digital Photo Editing Tip #2 – Red Eye Removal

One thing that can ruin a photo fast is red eye. Red eye is caused by the reflection of light off of the retina in the eye. The red color actually comes from the blood vessels that are nourishing the eye. Most digital photo editing software programs offer a red eye removal tool. If the digital photo editing program that you are using does not have a red eye removal tool then just simply zoom in to each eye and paint over the red reflection. I personally use Photo Editor X because it allows me to remove red eye with the click of a button. For more information on Photo Editor X Click Here

Digital Photo Editing Tip #3 – Sharpening

Sometimes a photo can come out a bit soft. If this is  the case with your photo then try out the sharpen tool in your digital photo editing software. The sharpen tool, if overused, can lead to jagged edges in your photo, but if used moderately it can really enhance your digital photos. It’s difficult to describe in words exactly how the sharpen tool can improve your photos. The best thing to do is to open up your digital photo editing software and tinker with it. Most digital photo editing programs allow you to see the outcome of the sharpen effect without actually having to commit to the edits. Give it a try and see what happens.

Photo Champ Shutter Fix


Image by Travis Gray
I’m uploading this pic in case anyone has an old plastic 127 cam like this (Photo Champ, Cardinal, Cinéx, to name a few) that needs the shutter fixed….you just take a thin utility blade (or a couple of small flathead screwdrivers) and pry your way gently around the crack starting from the shutter lever until the glue comes loose (pretty much like the www.toycamera.com/tech/shutter.cfm).

turns out there’s not much to fix (besides cleaning the shutter blade and lens) and it’s pretty much a crummy shutter design. the spring just forces the mickey mouse-shaped shutter blade to go past the aperture when the shutter lever is clicked up and down. this one works best when the camera is held upside down so it fires smooth when clicked in both directions (sticks on the up motion otherwise.)

then of course you just glue the lens back on:)

Our master bedroom needed a huge makeover. The paint was old, the curtains were dusty and the artwork was outdated. I didn’t want to spend a fortune re-doing everything so I looked for inexpensive solutions to give the room a whole new look without breaking the bank.

Paint was a must. In some of our other rooms, we used a paint color made by Pittsburgh Paint called “Happy Trails, which is a really rich tan color.

Next, I knew those old curtains had to be changed out, so I found an inexpensive curtain rod and bought two different scarves and draped those over the rod. Done.

Since the room is primarily tan, it needed some color so I made a couple of arrangements out of silk and dried flowers. A nice pop against the warm tan of the walls.

Now, what to do about the wall art? Most people want to display family photos as I do but I didn’t want a bunch of mismatched frames sitting around. I was going for a cleaner look.

Our last child just left for college so I wanted to showcase the transition my family has undergone over the past 22 years. It came to me to make wall art out of black and white photos and matching frames.

How I made it

Pick the photos. I chose one of my family when the two kids were very young and one of my family now. Then I found my favorite picture of just the kids when they were little and another one of them now.

Fix the photos. After selecting the four photos, some had to be scanned into my computer while the more recent ones were taken with my digital camera and were already in my computer. Adobe Photoshop makes it easy to fix photos. They were all different sizes and colors so the first thing I had to do was make them all uniform.

Using the “Image-Size” function in Photoshop, I made them all 5 x 7′s and using the “Image-Mode-Grayscale” function, I turned them into black and whites. I ended up with four, 5 x 7, black and white photos. This is an important step, in my opinion, because you want them all to match.

Buy the frames. In order to accomplish the uniform look, I also selected four identical frames.

Hang them. Once the four black and white photos were in the frames, I had to decide how I wanted to hang them. The orientation of the photos (portrait or landscape) will help you decide the configuration (across in a straight line, down in a straight line, in a perfect square…).

Two of my photos were landscape and 2 were portrait so I decided to put them in a square with an irregular edge to create visual interest. We hung up the photo collage yesterday and my husband helped to ensure that the frames were all perfectly spaced.

The wall art that we created turned out just as I pictured it. This photo collage was inexpensive to make and will be cherished for years to come.
