Another link post
Here's another link collection, stuff that I've linked to on Facebook and want to make sure I don't lose. If you're interested, you can take a look at the previous collection.
Tools, tutorials etc:
- The Photographer's Ephemeris - A free tool, explained on PhotoFidelity.com, to help improve your landscape photography. In short; it shows you where the sun and moon rise and set according to your location on a map.
- 21 Photographs and lighting setups for every occasion - Great lighting tutorials/diagrams from DIYPhotography.
- CamCard Application Review - CamCard was one of the first apps I bought for my iPhone, and I use it every time I get a business card. Works like a charm.
- Stealing your flash - A (not so) nice method of theft prevention.
- Model releases - A nice piece on how, when and why you should ask for model releases.
- Lighting Eleven People in a Cigar Lounge with a Single Speedlite - Thinking out of the boxy confines of that lonely speedlite.
- No Crap: Portfolio Tips - One of many portfolio advice posts.
Interesting news or articles:
- Mesmerizing photo of James and Wade was one incredible 'feet' - This may well be the most awesome basketball photo I've ever seen.
- Bad Clients. Good Clients. Great Clients. - Kirk Tuck: "You don't succeed because of the clients you keep. You succeed because of the clients you fire."
- Getting into a Stock Frame of Mind - A good piece on how to think stock.
- Shooting on Plexiglas for the SI Preview - Plexiglas. Scaffolding. Baseball slugger. Sports Illustrated. Final image and a time lapse video. Very, very cool.
- What are you worth? - No, really, what are YOU worth?
- Time travelling with the NBA - The making of these great commercials.
- The Ten Biggest Website Mistakes by Photographers - I know a number of photographers (me included) who should really read this.
Photo collections:
- The Magnificent Cliffs of Moher - one slip and you're dead - I became nauseous looking through those photos.
- Stock photos that keep on selling - You know, I wouldn't mind hauling in $800,000 for one single photo.
- Glaciers - A theatrical production photographed by Snorri Gunnarsson.
- From photos to pinups - Photos used to help create pinup paintings.
- Norman Rockwell - Apparently he did it too.
Websites of my fellow graduates
A website is generally a very important tool for a photographer, not least for the ones who are just starting out. A number of my fellow (former) students at WAP have already created a website around their photography, therefore I want to link to them, both for myself and those who might want to view their photos and even contact them for work. I know these are just around half the students, and I decided not to include Flickr sites, so if you know about websites on the way or some that I might have missed, please let me know.
Since there are essentially three programs, I've decided to group the links accordingly.
