Italy Dream Photo Tour || October 2013!

As photographers, artists, and world travelers, there’s simply no country quite like Italy and we’re very excited to share our love of it with you! Complete details and registration info can be found here: http://bit.ly/it-photo-tour

This Italy photo tour was created with the intention of making it a dream tour and providing participants with a truly unique experience. Though the emphasis will be on photography, it will be a cultural journey, capturing and enriching all of the senses – you’ll be inspired by the stunning architecture, rich and textured landscapes, enormous wealth of culture and history and of course the food and wine!

We’ll visit some of the most beautiful and photogenic portions of Italy as we lead you on various food tours, winery tours, tastings and history tours, all blending beautifully with the unique photographic opportunities and instruction. So travel back in time with us on this one-of-a-kind Photo Tour of Italy!

Colors In The Sky - Pienza || Technical Details 

3 of the 5 exposure brackets (-2,0,+2) were blended manually in photoshop using a combination of painted and luminance masks. While the sky was naturally filled with color, the foreground was a bit washed out from the bright back light. I used Nik Color Efex Pro 4 to adjust the contrast and saturation accordingly. Further color and light balancing was done in the new Lightroom 5 (which I highly recommend upgrading to). 

Camera: Nikon D800
Lens: 24-70 f/2.8 (Shot at 38 mm)
Tripod: RRS TVC-33 / BH-55 Ballhead / RRS L-Plate
ISO: 100 at f/11
5 Bracketed exposures

Hardware: 15” 2013 Macbook Pro Retina, Wacom Intuos5 Small Tablet

Software: Lightroom 5, Photoshop CS6, Nik Color Efex Pro 4

Espresso: Lavazza Crema e Gusto and some local Tuscan red wine.

How Big Her Heart -- San Francisco, CA
Thomas Hawk Thomas Hawk

This is one of my Northwest Florida favorites.  I shot this Gulf scene with a 17-40mm wide angle lens at 17mm.  I then switched lenses to shoot the moon with my 70-200 so that it would show up larger.  At 17mm the moon was only be a dot in the sky.  I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Storms produce some of the most breathtaking photographs and on this particular storm was not an exception. On this particular day we heard this thunder in the distance, but the kids convinced us that it was the Steamboat geyser that was about to blow up (has not blown up since mid 90s). Ha!! 

How was this image created?
I shot this image on the fly as we were running back to the shelter to escape the storm. Luckily for me the exposure was easy to adjust due to the heavy overcast skies. The composition was selected using the rule of the thirds. 

By the time we reached the shelter in the Norris Geyser basin it started to hail and in 10 minutes the ground was covered with 1/2 inch of small white ice pellets. ;))

Enjoy & Share.

#Photography is ALL About Light
Yellowstone National Park, WY

To this this photos I stood in the cold rain and wind at Artist Point for almost 3 hours. Finally the clouds parted and spotlights kept moving towards all over the landscape. One of the photographers visiting the location let me try his Canon 100-400mm Lens which I used to see the details in the falls. 

How was this image created?
I took a single exposure with intent of reprocessing it in the #Photoshop . The exposure had some over exposed highlight, but I knew that I would be able to restore their details using our iHDR workflow. The time of the photograph was important because I wanted to showcase mist...and for this to happen the spotlight had to fall on the falls. 

Enjoy & Share.

To say that last night's 4 hour sunrise/sunset over the Godafoss waterfall in Northern Iceland was epic is the understatement of the year. Never in my life have I seen such epic light for such an extended period of time. You have to love the midnight sun where sunrise and sunset meld together during June in Iceland.

On top of all this...the light was amazing in full 360 degrees from our position...every direction you looked there was a new angle to capture. It is through experiences like these that Iceland has become one of my favorite countries to work in.

Web, Leaves And Bokeh

Never forget to look at the small stuff when out and about with your camera, always be aware of what is in both your foreground and your background too, more so what you do with both and the effect it will have on your final image.

This image comprises of three elements, the first being the gentle red/pink leaves of the bush that stand out from the bush itself. The second being the formation of the spiders webs not only on the leaves but the longer one that stretches across the image and eventually falls off so you cannot see what it creates a bridge to. The third is the bokeh background, created by dropping the f/stop down to 2.8 and pulling the focus directly on the subject. 

Then the image was taken using the rule of thirds.

None of this has been set up by me, I simply used what nature had put in place for me to photograph. She is a clever mother, use what she gives you, sometimes you just have to look a little harder.

Petite France - out of camera JPEG!

In a corner of Strasbourg's Main Island you'll find Petite France, where the river Ill briefly splits into several canals, surrounded by medieval, half-timbered houses. Only a 15 minute walk from the spectacular Cathedral Notre Dame de Strasbourg, it's understandably popular with tourists and packed with bars and restaurants to cater for them. But whether sightseeing or taking pictures, you only have to wait until the Sun sets and step away from the bustling crowds to find relative seclusion and peaceful views.

My visit to Strasbourg came towards the end of a two week driving trip around Western Europe, essentially from the UK to Northern Italy and back again. It made a convenient stop-over on the way up through France on our way back to the Channel Tunnel, but ended up being a very enjoyable place to visit. It was my first time and I loved the epic scale of its Cathedral along with the short river walk to the Petite France area.

During the daytime, Petite France was without a doubt very lovely, but I knew straightaway it would be a lot nicer at night. It didn't take much imagination to picture the half-timbered buildings illuminated at dusk, and the numerous canals cutting between them boded well for some decent reflections. The area is also very compact, so it's easy to fully explore for potential shooting locations. I ear-marked one of the short bridges on Rue des Moulins for later.

After my experience on the Rialto Bridge in Venice a few days earlier, I arrived back in the Petite France area at sunset and planned to stay until the sky became completely dark. When shooting the Grand Canal in Venice at night, I liked the sky most towards the end of the 'Blue hour' when it was almost dark, but still had some colour to it on very long exposures. I planned on finding a nice composition and basically sitting there for a couple of hours, regularly taking photos as the sky gradually changed.

My originally proposed spot on one of the bridges was nice enough, with a good-looking building as its main subject, but the composition felt lacking in some way, so I set off to find a slightly different approach. I popped round the back of some buildings on Quai des Moulins and emerged at the canal side once more, but this time with a very different angle on the buildings I'd earmarked earlier. Coincidentally I was now at the rear of what looked like a posh hotel, but there was hardly anyone around, especially in the streets I was aiming at. It looked good, so I set up again and started shooting. 

As I'd suspected, my earliest shots were too bright, but as night gradually fell the scene started looking better and better. I love that about being a photographer as it encourages you to witness the subtle changes in nature as a scene gradually evolves. It's exciting to see the conditions slowly - or quickly - become more ideal for your composition, before peaking, then calming down again. So long as you don't have anywhere to go, it's very satisfying to sit there snapping at regular intervals, knowing somewhere in that bunch of shots is the perfect moment.

Of course there's not just the sky to keep an eye on, and when it peaks for you, some other aspects of the composition may not be at their best. For this shot I wanted mirror-like reflections on the canal's surface, but discovered regular processions of ducks could easily wipe it out for the next couple of minutes. If you're into processing, you could simply combine your best sky with your best reflection, but as you know I like to capture it all in one frame which often involves some compromise.

This was my favourite of the bunch, taken just before I packed up for the night as the sky became quite dark. I took it with the Canon EOS SL1 / 100D mini DSLR fitted with its EF-S 18-55mm STM kit lens at 18mm for a 29mm equivalent view. It's a 15 second exposure at f6.3 and 100 ISO. I originally preferred a slightly tighter view with less sky, but at the last minute sided with this one for the wispy clouds and full triangular roof on the left. And for all you folk wondering if processing if necessary, this is another single JPEG straight out the camera.

It was also my third long exposure in a classical European city at night where canal reflections played an important role. I think I've found a new favourite technique!

A new version is Photoshop is shipping today --- Photoshop CC

My personal favorite new feature is the ability to instantly apply Camera Raw as a filter (see below). No more closing your current document, and going through a four-step process to reopen your image to apply Camera Raw tweaks. It's been on my wish list for years now and I'm thrilled that it's finally there! Lots more to CC of course, but that one just makes my day!

Here's a shot from my live shoot yesterday during the B&H Photo Lightroom 5 Digital Photography Summit

Earlier in the day I showed a cool feature in Lightroom 5 that lets you preview your image in any layout you create, from a magazine cover (I created the one you see here), to wedding or photo book cover, to whatever you create. I posted a bunch of behind-the-scenes photos (including lighting and camera settings from the shoot) over on my blog today. Here's the link: http://bit.ly/129TqnR  (BTW: when B&H posts the rebroadcast of the event, I'll be sure to post the link here).

Model, Dodger of Sparks: +Shantia Veney 

Just outside the right edge of the frame (and not too far away from Shantia) is a man operating a plasma welding torch. He was wearing a welding mask, which meant he could not see Shantia while he was sending a zillion sparks her way. When we were ready to shoot, he had to aim it in the right direction (just behind her), flip the mask down, fire-up the torch...and do his best not to change the angle of his aim.

You can see just how close the sparks landed from her, if you look at the floor under her feet. Add that, plus her hair, and the more-than-flammable poofy skirt, and you have yourself an ignite-ably-good time. 

Scary, but worth-it 

The woman is certainly no sissy :)

This is my favorite image from my recent bull #shark diving adventure in #Fiji. I like the vertical composition of the shark coming directly at me with several other sharks silhouetted in the background. I wonder if this will someday make a nice cover? Man, that was a great trip. I created this image using my Canon 5DmkIII and Canon 17-40mm f4 lens with a +3 diopter inside my Ikelite 5DmkIII housing with an 8″ dome port and dual DS160 strobes. I processed the RAW file using Aperture 3 and Photoshop CS6, plus Nik Software’s Color Efex 4‘s white balance filter.

tomorrow! carolyn porco eloquently tells us ciclops' special plans to capture a total eclipse from the sun from saturn, on her captain's log, at ciclops!

snip
On July 19, 2013, the Cassini cameras will be turned to image Saturn and its entire ring system during the planet's eclipse of the sun. In the lower right, among the outer diffuse rings that encircle Saturn, will be a small speck of blue light with all of us on it. A mosaic of images covering the rings from one end to the other, some taken in those filters that are used to make a natural color scene -- that looks like what human eyes would see -- will be taken at this time. Also to be recorded: an image of the highest resolution that we are capable of taking, in which we will find Earth and its moon. One will be a colorless, star-like point of light. The other, of course, will be a pale blue dot.
