Seeing is Believing

Here is a great article about Edward Weston including photos and audio in the New York Times. Very nice!

Hope you enjoy it like I did.

Another fantastic short video by Martin Evening in the Lightroom News blog. He explains the difference between the exposure and brightness sliders in Lightroom 2. Very informative. I like techniques for using negative exposure on a seemingly over exposed photograph.

Enjoy.

Adobe Lightroom v2.3 allowed me to tweak the following photo in 60 seconds:

After

I’ve been using the program for quite some time. I’m still amazed at what can be done in a very short amount of time. To me it’s a photographer’s dream. I use it on every photo.

Here’s a great video posted by Sean McCormack for Lightroom Newson how to make a triptych (one phone split into 3 panels) in the print module of Lightroom 2.

The American Society of Media Photographers has posted a great tutorial on applying for a copyright on your photographs. Apparently the Copyright office now accepts CDs containing multiple images with your application. This makes it much easier now to apply for a copyright. There is one few per CD.

Even though you have full copyright to your photographs (unless you sign that away of course), sending in a copyright application will give you the ammunition you need in case you ever have to go to court over infringement of your copyrights.

Enjoy.
