BIRDS PHOTOGRAPHY

Birds can be a very interesting subject to shoot because they offer a great variety of shapes, colors and dimensions.In order to do that you have to know some basic things about photography and some necessary equipment.This what we are going to talk about in this article.
1.The right time-The best season for shooting birds photography is in Spring,because is the season that you can find them almost anywhere trying to mate,and their colors are the best.This doesn't mean you cant get great pictures during other seasons,for example:during autumn when they migrate in groups.So you have to find the opportunity that fits you the most.And the perfect time of the day are after the sunrise and before sunrise,time in which

they are very active and the lighting from the sun is not to strong.
2.Know your subject and the right place-In order for you to get great photos you have to know all you can about the birds you want to photograph,because knowing their habits helps you a lot in finding the right place and time to take great pictures.
3.Camera and equipment-If you want to shoot bird photography you need to have a SLR/DSLR with a 300mm (or more) lens, but in the back yard the rules change. You can even get good shots with an advanced point and shoot with 10x Zoom.
A good tripod or a monopod...

Photoshop CS4 New User Interface and Extras


With the new release some of the most noticeable changes are in the interface design and structure. The panels can be docked within an application frame as well as the ability to easily access different workspace settings from the new application bar at the top.

The use of keyboard shortcuts to select specific tools still plays a big role in Photoshop CS4, but if you hold the key down instead, you can temporarily switch to using the tool associated with that keyboard shortcut. Release the key and you can revert to working with the previously selected tool.

This is just the beginning...

“The Perfect Moment”

"The Perfect Moment"
© David A. Ziser


My good friend Marc was married this past Friday and I was honored to shoot the wedding. Marc was one of my assistants about eight years ago helping me capture the sunsets for so many other brides over the years. This past Friday, he had one the best sunsets ever at his outdoor wedding held in Ault Park. This image was made during the last moments of that sunset. I held the camera right on the sidewalk as I framed up the composition and got this shot. I love the combination of color and contrasts in this silhouetted image. I think it speaks to the title of the image and the moment Marc and Kristen were sharing at that instant. Camera specs; Canon 40D fitted with 10-22mm lens at 10mm, F 4.0 @ 1/250 second, ISO 800. Enjoy! -David

We made it through a very busy weekend and this week looks to be a continuation of the same going full speed ahead - pedal to the metal. Jason, Kelby Training's ace #1 videographer arrived yesterday. The plan is to complete my first five Kelby Training videos for the year and get a good start on the next set. My team has been organizing churches, parks, gowns, and models for our three day shoot. Stay tuned this week and I'll keep you posted on our progress. One thing for sure - no alligators in the Cincy are ;~)

How about some quick news. David Cross, one of the Photoshop Guys (PhotoshopUser TV) started a series on his blog called, "Complete The Sentence." It's kind of a neat peek into what his guest "Sentence Finishers" think about in a very general sentence. It's a nice series. My "Completed Sentences" hit his blog last Friday. You can give them a read right here. Others who have "Finished The Sentence are; Jasmine Star, John Paul Caponigro, Scott Kelby, and Eddie Tapp. You can find all their "Finished Sentences" right here. Thanks, Dave for letting me help "Finish The Sentence."

If you haven't check in lately with fellow blogger Jason Moore's blog lately,...
