Cameras
Storing digital images
Protecting your digital images and creating a archiving system for your digital images is important. Create a system for digital storage before you lose those photos that are important now and in the future.
Nikon D40, Nikon's newest
Nikon D40 cameras are difficult to find because they are a hot selling item. Retailers are anxiously awaiting new shipments as the popular new camera is flying off the shelves of stores.
Decisions
Decisions. To read or not to read, that is the question. Reading your camera manual for operating instructions can prevent costly mistakes and frustration with your new camera.
The view
The view is everything. When you compose photos it is important to see the entire frame. What you see is what you get. The advice from a professional on using a viewfinder and NOT the LCD display on your camera will help you take better pictures.
Digital cameras
Digital cameras are a force to be reckoned with in the marketplace. With an enormous selection of digital cameras from which to choose, it is important to understand digital terminology as you consider a purchase. PORTRAITSECRETS offers a down to earth explanation of some of the important terms from a veteran portrait photographer who has dealt with the switch from film to digital photography.

Good photographs begin with good light. In the digital photography world, the quality of light corresponds to the quality of the photograph. The dramatic light of the early morning and late afternoon can raise the quality of your images. In poorly lit situations use supplemental lighting from the camera's flash in the fill-flash mode.

Adobe's Photoshop is very expensive at nearly $700, Is it worth it?
Dear PS,
Adobe's Photoshop is very expensive at nearly $700, Is it worth it?
On the cheap in Oregon
Dear On the cheap,
Yes! If you plan to take creative steps in dealing with your images, photoshop and the lastest Creative Suite 2 are simply the best and most efficients image handling programs available. Is it "worth it" to you, that depends on what you hope to achieve with your images. I would suggest the Elements version of photoshop as an entry level position. Better yet, check a local computer store or even the Apple Store an invest a little time in attending a couple of their tutorial classes for a "test drive" of the program. Then you'll be better informed before you spend your money.
Thanks for your question,
