Two New eBooks Launched! Win a Prize!

Just a few days ago, I launched my two new ebooks, on the same day! I've been working on these books for a few months now, with two different publishers, and as luck would have it, each publisher chose the same date to launch their books! It's been a hectic time finishing them both off I can tell you! So here we have them: Photomagic_cover First up we have Photo Magic: Special Effects Photography Made Easy. I was asked to write this book by Darren at the Digital Photography School, where I have published my previous books. I've always loved experimenting with creative photography and special effects, as long-time followers of this blog will know! So when the offer for this book came, I jumped at the chance! Photo Magic looks a eleven special effects photos and breaks down in detail how they were created, the equipment used, the processing and finally shows a bunch of variations and ideas so that you can see how to apply the techniques to other photos. The skills taught have wide applications in your photography, beyond just taking jaw-dropping effects photos. Also, during the launch period, which lasts a few more days, there's a competition where you can win $1500 worth of camera gear, and the sale price is 25% off. If you would like this book, there's no time to waste! Grab it here.
30TT_3D The next ebook, my fifth, is my first with a new publisher. 30 Tips and Techniques For Portrait Photography is being launched on the new Borrow Lenses Education web site. Borrow Lenses is an established camera hardware site, who are now branching out into photography education. I'm proud to be working with them. 30TT as I call this book for short, is a collection of to-the-point nuggets of wisdom about shooting portraits. It is distilled knowledge from years of professional and personal portrait photography. It’s filled with to-the-point information that will immediately improve your photos of people. I am planning to write a series of 30TT books, so look out for more in the future! The book is priced at an affordable $10 and you can buy it here.

New Years Fireworks

My Night Photography Unblocked video course has been a big success, and I'm already working on the Advanced course. So what did I do on new year's eve? Record a video on how to shoot fireworks of course! Here's a sample from the video I captured on the night, and below that, some quick tips for the next time you want to try shooting fireworks and a slide show of the processed photos!

Fireworks Photography Tips

  • Most fireworks displays happen in the city, and having a foreground element in your fireworks photos really adds to them, so try to include another element in the composition with the fireworks.
  • Use a tripod, as the exposures will be several seconds long.
  • Use a two second timer, or even better a cable release. You can trigger by hand but you may get some wobbles in the light trails. A 10 second timer will take too much time so use your finger if you don't have a cable release or two second option.
  • Use auto focus on distant city lights, then swap to manual focus so your camera doesn't hunt around for focus costing you valuable seconds.
  • The aperture will determine how bright the fireworks appear, the shutter speed how many fireworks appear in the shot.
  • You don't want to burn out the colour in the fire works, so I suggest an aperture of between f8 and f16.
  • Leaving the shutter open too long can cause there to be too many fireworks in the shot, making it possibly appear too busy and messy. I suggest starting with 10sec.
  • Adjust your ISO around these values to get a good exposure for your foreground element. A lower ISO is better for less noise however. Probably between 100ISO and 400ISO.
  • During the display you can try changing your settings for effect.
  • As the display goes on, you get more smoke in the scene, so your best shots will probably be the early ones. Feel free to experiment later.
  • If you have time and feel up to it, try zooming in with a longer lens to fill the frame with the fireworks. This can look very different.

Night Photography Unlocked – My first training course!

Big news! I've spent the last two months working very hard on my very first video training course, Night Photography Unlocked. And last week, it went live! Here's the promo video: I was approached by http://udemy.com a successful online training site, to create content for their photography section. They read my books and loved my writing and asked if I'd be interested in doing video training. This is something that I have been thinking about for some time, but I didn't know how to present or organise it, so the offer from Udemy was a perfect match. If night photography is something that interests you, follow the link and watch the three free videos I have at the course: the promo (embedded above), the intro and a free full lecture on the histogram. Thank you as always for your support, and I hope you consider signing up to my course! Watch for some more posts here in the future with photos and tips on the theme of night photography.
