Nature Photography and the Digital Darkroom
A good commentary and article link from here: http://www.goodellphotoart.com/
"One of the program presentation that I do is called Nature Photography and the Digital Darkroom. It has been quite popular and usually generates some good and lively discussion. A significant part of the presentation is about techniques that require special actions in the field to be able to later apply the appropriate processing. Examples include high dynamic range (HDR) processing, field depth extension (FDE), panoramic stitching, triangulation of foreign objects (TFO), and certain types of patching and background cleanup. These are all adjustments or manipulations in varying degrees. I was therefore very disappointed when the Photographic Society of America (PSA) came out with new rules that barred use of these types of post-capture edits. I have outlined my position on these rules in an article which is available as a PDF paper: PSA Nature Definitions -- Editing, An Alternate View..Editing, An Alternate View..
In short these rules are excessively restrictive, inconsistent, hypocritical, and backward looking. I hope that PSA will quickly change their rules. Until that happens, the serious photographer has three options: 1) comply with the rules and deny yourself many valuable benefits of digital technology, 2) don't dignify the rules by participating in events where they are operative, or 3) ignore the rules, and leave it up to judges to recognize violations, if they can. (After all, judges themselves regularly ignore the PSA rule that story trumps technical quality -- another poor rule).
Regarding editing, please realize that almost all images warrant/require some adjustment. This is usually limited to balancing tonalities and background cleanup. My operating principle is that the image be faithful to the subject and its relevant, natural environment. If significant manipulations are done, the image becomes called a photo-illustration."

Get sharper photos after attending this workshop
Focusing Problems and Micro Adjustments – Your Camera May Be At Fault
"One of the most frustrating things that can happen in photography is seeing a perfect moment and snagging a shot, only to get back to your computer and find out the picture was barely out of focus."
"Probably not all photographers are aware that every lens bought from their manufacturer isn’t always perfect right out of the box. In fact, when it comes to focusing, most new lenses are shipped with an acceptable amount of variance in their auto focus. For your average picture, these small differences are probably pushed aside. But if you’re interested in getting your shot tack sharp every time as far as the camera is concerned, you may want to pay attention."
"With many cameras these days, it’s possible to test your lenses and make micro adjustments to your auto focus without having to send your lens back to your manufacturer."
Read the rest of the article here Focusing Problems and Micro Adjustments
Come to our workshop and learn how to adjust your lens. http://www.meetup.com/Image-Enhancement/events/180509492/
Even if your camera cannot automatically handle microadjustment for your lenses it is still good to know if your lens back or front focuses so you can compensate when shooting.

Bounce Flash Secrets – Bouncing Your Way to Better Photography
Bounce Flash Secrets – Bouncing Your Way to Better Photography
"If you have ever seen a professional photographer using flashgun on top of their camera, and wondering why the flash is not pointing directly at the subject, that’s because they are bouncing the flash. In this article I will reveal to you the secrets of bounce flash, which I have learned over the years working as a professional wedding photographer. I will unveil my killer techniques that will allow you to bounce your way to better photography. If you are new to photography you may be apprehensive about using flash. I understand. A lot of it has to do with when you first buy a point-and-shoot camera the flash on it just creates a horrible direct flash look and that is what you associate with flash photography. Once you master the art of bouncing however, I promise you will never look back.
read the article and see the photoshere
Bounce Flash Secrets – Bouncing Your Way to Better Photography
"What is bounce flash? Bounce flash is when, rather than firing your flashgun pointing directly at your subject, you point it elsewhere typically up or at an angle, bouncing off a wall or ceiling. The objective is to “bounce” light to soften it before it hits your subject."

Sweeten Your Photos by Shooting During the Blue Hour
Sweeten Your Photos by Shooting During the Blue Hour
"There is a period of time each day, just before sunrise and just after sunset, when the sun is below the horizon, when the light is known as “sweet light.” This period of time is known as “The Blue Hour.” This is a period of time each morning and evening when there is neither full daylight, nor full darkness. The light is almost ethereal, with a soft blue glow bathing the scene. The Blue Hour happens in tandem with the Golden Hour, making the beginning and end of the day exceptional for photography, providing two very different types of light within a single time span."

Springfield Show features Tom Wyatt: Western MA photographer
Springfield Show features Tom Wyatt: Western MA photographer
Tom Wyatt is one of five featured artists at an inaugural exhibit called 5 Narratives
at the MassMutual Center 1277 Main St. in Springfield MA. Wyatt’s work
consists of large prints on metal (40”x30” to 60”x40”) of Western Mass
reflections, from the realistic to the abstract. There is an event
called PLUG IN TO THE CREATIVE VALLEY at the show on Tuesday May 13 from
6-8pm, sponsored by The Western MA Economic Development Council.
This is a time to see the show, hear brief artist talks and join in
networking & creative conversation amongst area artists,
entrepreneurs and businesses. There are not regular hours to see the
show, because of ongoing events at the MassMutual Center; but this is a
chance to see it.
This
exhibit is the result of a juried process conducted in the fall of 2013
in which 5 Western MA artists were selected by curators from the
Springfield Museums, the Smith College Museum of Art (SCMA), and the
University Museum of Contemporary Art (UMCA). It's a significant
inaugural event for the MassMutual Center,
which is actually the property of the State of Massachusetts, operated
by a management company called Global Spectrum. The state also owns
both the Hynes and Boston Convention Centers in Boston; there have been
art exhibitions in those facilities for several years, as part of the
MCCA Arts Program, This is the first program exhibit at the Springfield
facility (the MassMutual Center). The emphasis of 5 Narratives
is on large art and the featured artists are: Imo Nse Imeh, Faith Lund,
Lydia Kann Nettler, Laura Radwell as well as Tom Wyatt. Refreshments
provided!
