Many of us who don’t want to be constantly fiddling with the tiny buttons of today’s digital cameras often get some shots that are, well, less than perfect. Most cameras today have automatic settings, adjusting everything automatically without much need for fiddling but one good tip for good, crisp and clear shots is to ensure your camera moves less during shots especially during low light settings where the flash may not have enough power to illuminate the subject. You can choose to set the camera for low light pictures but this is more for steady subjects that don;t move a round too much. Read the rest of this entry » »
Black and white still has a sense of mystery and beauty where the subject and shadows play to make one heck of a picture that can last for years. Life in black in white used to be the norm and the style does have a strong following of staunch supporters. One problem facing this art is that there are almost no more developers who use the age-old method of developing prints, replaced by automated robots that nowadays do the printing. One thing black and white developing had of the old days was longevity, which resisted water and lasted years. Read the rest of this entry » »
For newbies to photediting ang manipulation, here are the few basic steps you need to get familiar with:

the cropping icon
1. Cropping. This refers to removing only the part of the picture you want. Even the most basic programs like paint have them. The icon with the rectangular broken lines or the square with the extended sides stands for the cropping tool.
2. Rotating. For photos taken vertically. Even the Windows photoviewer gives the option to rotate counterclockwise or clockwise.
3. Resizing. This is where you make the picture smaller – which is what you should do when you’re only using them for the web. High resolution images are only useful if you want to print them in large formats.
4. Enhancing brightness and contrast.
This is a bit trickier, but once you find the adjustment bar in whatever software you’re using, you can darken or lighten pictures at you liesure.

If you’re as big as a Google fan as myself then you should really try out Picasa. Although it just came out of Beta version a few months ago, it seems to be doing well. Not only does it organize your photos, it also edits them! There’s some news regarding this new app:
Today, we’re adding an even higher degree of control — the ability to share only with specific individuals. This is the most restrictive sharing setting, and it requires recipients to have (or sign up for) a Picasa Web Albums account. As such, it’s a bit more work than the well-balanced convenience of unlisted albums, but if you’re looking for exceptionally tight control over exactly who can see specific photo albums in your collection, give this feature a spin.

There are people who refuse to embrace photo editing as one vital aspect of digital photography in coming up with a great photo. Editing has been part of the film photography for the last 150 years. When you send your pictures to a developing lab require much work for the photo technician. He has to adjust exposure or crop out something. Editing gives life to the otherwise raw photos. One important factor in an image is exposure. Correct exposure can either break or make a picture. Underexposure and overexposure is the most common problem you will encounter. Luckily, you can edit exposure through the photo editor’s Histogram Level. Try that out in your photo editing program, may it be the Photoshop or some other editing programs.
