The post dPS Bi-Weekly Photo Challenge – With Light appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Sime. Last week we went with composition and asked you to try TWO images, one portrait and one landscape of the same scene – some great results! Well done! (Missed it? You can still try it!) We’re going to go down the same path with this challenge, two images, but as you’ve likely spotted in the title, this time it’s about light – camera flash! On camera, off camera… But we also realise that not everyone has a flash, some people use phones, some use older cameras, newer cameras and they might not have flash SO what we’re asking for is that you...

The post How to Edit Hockey Photos in Lightroom Like a Pro appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Frank Myrland. Have you ever tried to photograph lightning? That’s what it often feels like when taking pictures at a hockey game. Every play is a blur. You can feel the game’s speed and intensity right up until the final whistle. Emotion and sweat mix on the faces of players who battle and fight for every inch, and the arena shakes with a thunderous ovation from the spectators. In short, it’s a whole lot of fun to capture hockey with a camera. But after the crowds are gone and your ears have stopped ringing, it’s time to head home,...

Photographing live music can be an amazing experience once you embrace the idea that you have no control over any of the elements in your frame.

The post 9 Ways to Create Balance in Your Photography Compositions appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Stacey Hill. Sometimes it feels like producing well-composed images is an endlessly moving target. You’re given this compositional rule, that compositional guideline, those compositional considerations…yet keeping it all in mind while shooting can be a nightmare, and what happens when you come across another technique that you failed to consider? Well, today I want to give you one more compositional tool: balance. Balance, however, isn’t like standard compositional tricks; instead, it’s more fundamental to photography. In fact, some photographers argue that most (or even all) compositional advice comes from the pursuit of visual balance – so if you start using...

The post Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6 Review: The Most Versatile Wildlife Lens You Can Buy? appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Shreyas Yadav. Wildlife photography is as exciting as it is challenging. Picture yourself on an African savannah, photographing a grazing herd of elephants, followed by a beautiful eagle on the nearby tree… Just encountering these subjects is exhilarating – but capturing a top-notch photo requires patience and technical skill, not to mention a quality lens. Because here’s the unfortunate truth: Photographing distant wildlife can’t be done with a wide-angle zoom or a standard prime. If you want to capture lots of detail, you need significant reach (generally 300mm at minimum). And if you want to capture a...
