Adorama’s 100 Photography Tips in 100 Days
I had seen an announcement a few weeks back on imaginginsider.com about Adorama’s “100 in 100” 100 Photography Tips in 100 Days. But I just got a chance to look over the 54 tips that are posted as of today, and I’m very impressed.
There are many great tips from a number of talented photographers that cover everything from testing if your sensor is dusty, to what a high-key histogram looks like. I highly recommend checking it out, and I think all levels of photographers can benefit from many of the tips. In some cases, if specific products are mentioned, they are linked to products in Adorama’s online catalog. Here’s one example: One of the most useful tips that I read had info about securing model releases. A 50 sheet model release form pad was then linked to at the end of the tip.
You can find Adorama’s 100 Photography Tips in 100 Days here.
There are also hundreds of other helpful and well-written tips and articles on the AIRC (Adorama Imaging Resource Center). This is the home page of the AIRC. It’s rare to see so much editorial content on a store’s website (reviews are far more common), but I think that it’s great for photographers to have so many ways to learn more about taking, processing, storing and printing images.
Though a bit different, Amazon.com has an extensive blog-like feature called “Amazon Daily” that highlights a lot of great content across the web. In some cases, like with Adorama’s AIRC, products mentioned will be linked to in Amazon.com’s catalog. You can even customize your Amazon Daily content by choosing from a long list of topics. Stories can then be accessed from your home page at Amazon.com when you log in, or by using an RSS news reader.
A great collection of tips on CreativeBLVD.com
I just came across about 10 tips that cover a range of different graphics applications, including Adobe Photoshop CS3, Adobe Illustrator CS3, QuarkXPress 7, and Adobe Bridge. News and reviews covering selected graphics books and DVDs are also covered. The CreativeBLVD website has a lot of other good content related to graphics arts and design.
Cool wind-reduction tip for compact cameras
I just found a link to a cool wind-reduction tip on this site: www.photojojo.com. Photojojo.com has many great tips and do it yourself photo projects.
Here’s a direct link to the tip on PopPhoto.com.
I haven’t tried it, but I have a compact Canon SD600 camera that is very similar, and I plan to test this the next time I film outdoors. I’m surprised at the quality of the sound that the small Canon cameras produce in video mode.
