Focal Length vs. Shapes the Face

face at different focal lengthA good tutorial to show you how the focal length impact your portrait photography, with a 200mm lens you get excellent out-of-focus background and beautiful face  and at 35mm you can see some significant wide angle distortion, for more details see the tutorial below

By Jay P. Morgan
The lens or focal length of the lens you choose has a profound impact on the image. It effects the perspective, background and features of the subject. In this lesson everyone should understand what the different focal lengths do to the human face and how they change the background. Why do you choose a 135 mm lens to shoot a head shot of a beautiful woman but use a 24mm to shoot a clown. Keeping the head the same size in the frame and changing the focal length of the lens, I will shoot a series of images that demonstrate how focal length effects the features of the human face and how it changes perspective which effects the background. We will go on to demonstrate a simple 2 light and one reflector fashion lighting set up. I learned a lot from this exercise and I hope you do to.

Using LCD viewfinder for Still Photography - Jimmy Hickey

Will the use of  LCD viewfinder will improve your Still Photography ?See the video below by Jimmy Hickey and share your thoughts with us  –
LCD viewfinder strengths and weaknesses for photography – Jimmy Hickey

I have been using a LCD viewfinder to take ambient portraits for over a year now, and it has changed my process of creating images a great deal.

Originally designed for videographers, the LCD viewfinder enlarges the rear LCD screen, enabling the photographer to take photographs using Live Mode. This video goes over the positives and negatives of using an LCD viewfinder while taking a behind the scenes look at a photoshoot.

Hope this helps some people out! Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns in regard to using an LCD viewfinder!

Leica Portrait: Joel Meyerowitz

An award-winning street photographer who has been creating memorable images in the great photojournalistic tradition since 1962, Joel Meyerowitz pioneered the use of color in this slice of life genre, and his classic book on Cape Cod, “Cape Light” was instrumental in changing the prevailing dismissive attitudes toward color photography. Within a few days of the 9/11 attacks on The World Trade Center, Meyerowitz began to create an archive of the destruction and recovery at Ground Zero that consists of over 8,000 images of the aftermath of the tragedy. In this latest Leica Portrait video, Joel shares the story of his transition from junior art director to legendary photographer.

Story behind the Money Man - Photo project by Jimmy Hickey

Take a look at video, a really new and nice concept created and well composed by Jimmy Hickey, the video is 10 min long but interesting  & inspiring.

This is the story behind my “What Have We Done; Money Problems, Personified” photo project. Covering all aspects of the project.

I put this video together to give anyone interested a general idea of how this all went down. I hope 10+ minutes isn’t too long, there was just too much content to not include! 3+hours including interview, is tough to shorten down to ten minutes haha

Countless amount of time went into this project as a whole. I would like to thank everyone for their help and support to create this, I love you all!

The 18-135mm is a real all-rounder lens made for Canon 650D, for the first time in a Canon EF lens line-up, the 18-135mm uses 4 stop Image stabilization for still images and Dynamic IS (Movie Shooting Mode only) that uses a wide image stabilization correction range to help ensure steady video even when shooting while walking.

For Still shooters – We still recommends the EF-S Canon 18-200mm IS  lens, With  18-200mm you get more range (18-200 vs 18-135mm) and sharp images even at 200 mm focal length, the lens will give you Image Stabilization system that delivers up to four equivalent stops of shake correction throughout the zoom range but It doesn’t have Dynamic IS mode and Silent step-drive motor optimized for video shooting as 18-135mm STM lens, so if you shoot still images only buy than Canon 18-200mm lens
