This tutorial outlines how to setup your lights to achieve such an effect and also covers some simple post-processing to help improve the final product.
Have you ever wished that there was way you could capture the sense of motion in a still picture? Well, today, using just our camera and a special technique we're going to learn just to do just that. Panning is the art of tracking a subject with your camera - blurring the background, while keeping the subject in sharp focus.
We'll be walking you through the equipment required, how to choose a subject & location, ensure the background is appropriate, and pan smoothly!
Painting with light is a fascinating photography technique where you illuminate areas of a long exposure shot with a light source to create some stunning effects.
All exposure systems, including the one built into your digital camera, operate on the same general principles. A meter continuously measures the light reflecting from the subject and uses this measurement when you press the shutter button halfway down to calculate and set the shutter speed and aperture.
This video demonstrates you how to take an excellent close up photograph of the Earth's Moon without a name - also demonstrates you how to develop the RAW (or NEF) files in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom (We use the original LR in this tutorial but similar results in LR 2) and Adobe Photoshop CS3 (similar results in CS4). Enjoy!
