Composition Webinar
In this B&H Video, David Brommer starts with
cave paintings, quickly works his way through Egyptian and Medieval art
and arrives in the Renaissance to demonstrate the advancement of
composition and the birth of the Rule of Thirds. From there, he offers
a wonderfully comprehensive yet down to earth lesson in photo history,
theory and equipment, but most important, he demonstrates the basics of
photographic composition and what makes a “good” photo. www.bhphotovideo.com/indepth/photography/tips-solutions/holiday-2012-advanced-composition

How to Configure Printer Settings for
Third-Party Papers
As
some of you may recall, in the Fall of 2011, Renée Besta wrote a very
detailed, three-part series of articles on HDR Photography and Printing
for Breathing Color, a company that manufactures fine art papers for
printing. The company also sponsored an exhibit Renée produced back
when she was President of the Central Coast Photographic Society – the
very first 'Photomorphosis' show at the SLO Museum of Art.
This series of articles covered the entire workflow for making great
HDR prints that really pop, from proper camera color and HDR settings,
to color management, monitor calibration and profiling, HDR
post-processing, stylizing images, ICC profiles, and the complete
printing workflow.
Well, over three years later, Renée is back working with Breathing
Color, and will be involved in writing articles for their blog as well
as doing podcasts and maybe even some webinars. For those Camera Club
members who do their own inkjet printing, these articles may be of use.
Renée's article, HOW TO CONFIGURE PRINTER SETTINGS FOR THIRD-PARTY
PAPERS, is live online!
If you are interested in printing and have time, please read her newest
article and let her know what you think. And if you have any positive
comments to make, she would greatly appreciate your taking time to do
that on the blog, as it would really help her.
