I mentioned a couple of weeks back that I had bought the RayFlash ring adapter for my Canon 580 EX,to help with getting uniform shadowless lighting in some of my macro shots –although it is also good for certain types of portrait as well. It isn’t cheap (at $199),but is it worth [...]

 | I am very late uploading my usual graphs of earnings for March –I went off to England at the end of March and am only just back (with some more images to process and upload). March was a pretty good month –not my best,but only $15 below that peak. Shutterstock hit a [...] I’ve been a little slow these past 10 days,mainly because of the final effort to finish the second edition of my eBook on Getting Started in Stock. However,back to the grindstone. The first was an isolated image of a ukulele (isolated with the pen tool in PS),with the sunlight shining across the [...] My first image this week is one of a series that I did on a pressure cooker steaming in the kitchen. I wanted this to look realistic rather than isolated,and show the power of the steam: Pressure Cooker The next morning I was attracted by the look of the sunlight on a small [...] February started really well on Shutterstock with three enhanced license downloads in the first 3 days of the month,but then it slowed up… Overall,though,the month was pretty much on par with recent months with total earnings of $1120. I worked hard in the early part of the month to get as many [...] I’ve been a bit lazy this last week… I did some images of pancakes –this is a tradition on Shrove Tuesday in the UK,but it was this past week in the US: Pancake in pan Pancake on plate Then I found some old images of plants that have been planted at [...] Keeping up with the New Year’s Resolution by posting yet another set of images taken in the past week. I’ve focused on macro and still life type images this week:The first one is a simple image of nail trimmers or cutters and the finger nails themselves on the edge of a sink. I had [...] This short article covers a photographic isolation – setting your subject against a pure white background to make it easy to change the background or add the subject to a different composition. It is similar to blue (or green) screening but is sometimes easier to achieve without any specially colored backgrounds or cloths. A typical [...] I have around 200 images from my Kauai trip that are now online (although a lot of them without the critical keyword “Kauai”as a result of the Lightroom keyword export bug explored in this post!),and so rather than keep posting ones from that trip,here are some new images taken this week. The [...] Alamy is one of the sites I upload to,and I’ve been bemused for a time when I’m adding some main keywords that major keywords seem to be missing. My recent trip to Kauai brought this home as the keyword “kauai”was missing on the uploaded files. At first I thought I had forgotten to [...] |
