So we don’t always need to have a level horizon. Sometimes a slight tilt can dramatically increase the interestingness (there’s a filckr term for you) of an otherwise just decent photo.  You’ll have to play around with finding a good angle.  Too much and it just appears you’ve been drinking.  Too little and it [...]

Just a quick tip about photographing kids for today: whenever you have the chance, take pictures of your baby or toddler on kid-sized furniture. Don’t get me wrong, I love the token shots of the baby enveloped by an overly-stuffed enormous couch or recliner, but there is something just so cute about a photograph [...]

I just found the funnest freakiest group of pictures on Flickr! Aaaargh! Jeff has created fantastical “creatures” made from mirroring images of real animals in post production. Very fun stuff.
When I wrote to him about his cool mirror shots, here’s what he told me:

First off, I want to agree with Stephanie from I speak film when she says she is melting in this heat. It is all kinds of hot here in Southern California! Triple digits for that many days in a row?? Unbelieveable! I’m definitely ready for fall! I’m using so much of my energy just typing [...]

To answer that question: I would be blogging about as much as I did this past week, which was a pathetic one post. (Chris posted the other for the week, so I’m not even going to count it to try to boost my numbers!) Here, at Shooting the Kids, we talk about babies and photography [...]

Could it be that Nikon already has a replacement for the D70s?  A company known for slow updates to their camera line has posted a rather cryptic ad on their Nikon Imaging site.  10.2 megapixels and a whole bunch of marketing talk.  We’ll see.
