A $10 softbox

A $10 softbox - Mykala sent me this link and … this will produce some awesome images when completed. Even, white lighting is the key to great photos of normally boring things (and goodness knows the boring photos of things I take in the winter when it’s dark and cold and I’m busy with homework and don’t have time to take cool pictures).

Amazing tropical pictures

Amazing tropical pictures - Makes me want to visit Tobago.

Joan’s Broccoli Madness

Joan’s Broccoli Madness - If I had been drinking milk when I first viewed this picture, said beverage would have sprayed out my nose.

Awesome photography intro

Awesome photography intro - Covering some great basics like lens, cameras, definitions. Helped me better understand my Canon setup.

Bring out shadows

Bring out shadows - I frequently expose skies, but get dark dark silhouettes. This is sometimes good, but sometimes not. So, this page outlines a great tool to bring out shadow detail (“The Shadow/Highlight tool in Photoshop CS”). Digital photography, ahoy!

Dye Transfer

Dye Transfer - A 500:1 contrast ratio. Unreal prints. UNREAL. “A dye transfer print has a dark-life expectancy, at room temperature and humidity, of over 300 years — much better than even Ilfochrome.”

Photography: stunningly, shocking, ridiculously detailed - intro to all things digital (DSLR) photography.

A Truly Portable ‘Tripod’

A Truly Portable ‘Tripod’ - It’s basically a lump of beans used to stabilize your camera. However, I can see myself using it, as it would allow a camera to be set on the ground, but aimed.
