http://jackallredphotography.blogspot.com/2009/10/center-your-camera.html
Thoughts on becoming a photographer. Sunday, October 18, 2009. It pains me to admit that I've formed a careless, some might say sloppy, habit of not returning my camera to all normal settings. As I wrote previously, in Combining flash with ambient exposure. And Control flash for snappier images. Here's a suggested checklist for the end of each of your photo shoots. They should be based on your own preferences, so take time to think through them. Check AF/MF on your lens barrel. Set White Balance to AWB (...

Jack Allred Photography: Control flash for snappier images
http://jackallredphotography.blogspot.com/2009/03/control-flash-for-snappier-images.html
Thoughts on becoming a photographer. Thursday, March 5, 2009. Control flash for snappier images. Many people think the hallmark of “amateur” photography is on-camera flash, with blown out faces, dark backgrounds and red eye. In low light, most modern cameras will pop that little sucker up and give you that “special” quality your mother (or grandmother! Unless you shoot with a Canon 30D, your camera’s controls will operate differently. But most modern DSLR cameras, for sure, and some point and s...Subscri...

Jack Allred Photography: Passion
http://jackallredphotography.blogspot.com/2008/02/passion.html
Thoughts on becoming a photographer. Sunday, February 17, 2008. I could tell you all about the past few months, but why waste time on that? As an aside, if you're dissatisfied with the condition of the country you live in at the moment (for me, the USA), Roosevelt's address puts in stark relief what we could and should be. Teddy was nothing, if not passionate. As most photographers sooner or later realize, what's important about any photograph is the light — It's About Light. Then I started noticing how ...

Thoughts on becoming a photographer. Monday, September 3, 2007. The Myth of Talent.

http://jackallredphotography.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Thoughts on becoming a photographer. Sunday, March 22, 2009. Combining flash with ambient exposure. I've always heard that the best way to learn something is to teach it. I've been concentrating on techniques related to balancing flash and ambient exposure lately. My recent (March 5) post, " Control flash for snappier images". One of my friends from the Grand Lake club asked some clarifying questions by email. For instance, what flash sync speed she should use? 8212;you have all the exposure tools your c...

Thoughts on becoming a photographer. Wednesday, February 18, 2009. Where does the time go? Has it been a year since my last post? But surprisingly, hasn't posted any yet. Bob did post a few of his. I believe I'm one of the tiny figures silhouetted in one of his images at http:/ bobshull.com. I posted a few images to our society gallery at http:/ www.psnwa.org/gallery.html. Right after I got home, but I ran short of time to post any to my own site this week. I'll rectify that by the weekend. Effective Bus...
