Weekly Photo Challenge – Trees

The post Weekly Photo Challenge – Trees appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Sime. Where would we be without them! I left the weekly challenge topic to my 11yo today, his first choice was “Piranhas” I’m thankful he got the idea from my facial expression that his first topic choice wouldn’t fly… ‘Trees’ he said, thoughtfully. Tag your photograph #dPSTrees if you share it on social media. Still trees, silhouetted trees, reflected trees, trees with lots of movement and a slow shutter… As ever, your options are endless and this is where your creativity must rear up and show itself! A tree is an easy thing to photograph, there it is, sitting there keeping you alive, click,...Tree Photograph

Create This Cool Multi-Photo Layout In Lightroom in Two Minutes

I saw this layout (and the wonderful photos within it from photographer Adrian Scarbrough), in my LinkedIn feed (seen above), so I thought it might be helpful to show how to make a similar layout for your own images in Lightroom Classic (Lightroom cloud doesn’t have a printing feature). Anyway, it’s like I said: two minutes start to finish. Three minutes, tops. Here we go: STEP ONE: In the example we saw above, it was a square page size, so if you want that, you’ll need to create a custom page size, so click on the Page Setup button, and in the Page Setup window, from the Paper Size pop-up menu, choose ‘Manage Custom Sizes’ and then type in your desired...

Fujifilm GFX100S: Compact, More Affordable Medium Format

The Fujifilm GFX100S is built around a 102-megapixel medium format sensor. Fujifilm today introduced the GFX100S mirrorless medium format camera that offers similar performance to the GFX100 which debuted in 2019, but with a smaller form factor and a considerably lower price. Like the GFX100, the Fujifilm GFX100S features a 102-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor with in-body image stabilization, but improves upon the earlier model with an additional stop of stabilization: 6 stops in the GFX100S versus 5 (or 5.5 with the GF63mmF2.8 R WR lens) in the GFX100. The top panel of the Fujifilm GFX100S includes a generously-sized, 1.8-inch monochrome information display. Medium format digital cameras universally lag behind smaller sensor cameras in terms of continuous shooting speeds, so they’re not...Top view of the Fujifilm GFX100S

Moving Forward on the Right Foot

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about a few things to do to tidy up at the start of the year. I want to follow that up with a look at how you can ensure you are moving forward on the right foot with your Lightroom Classic (LrC) catalog in 2021. (Note, this is an excerpt of an article that appeared in the January 2021 issue of Photoshop User magazine.) I consider the catalog file to be the second most important component of the LrC system (with the first being your photos). The catalog file has a .lrcat (that’s LRCAT not IRCAT) file extension. This is where all the work you do in LrC is stored, along with all the...
