The benefit of using this method to sharpen your images is that the sharpening effect is applied in a non-destructive fashion, on a duplicate layer, with a very simple to understand parameter (in the Radius value) that controls the magnitude of the sharpening, as well as giving you the ability to fine tune the final effect using the Opacity slider.

It's been a long and depressing tunnel, but Kodak has finally reached the light at the end. Over a year and a half after declaring Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, the once-great camera giant officially reached the end of its financial troubles yesterday. The new Kodak is a company focused entirely on business imaging solutions, which CEO Antonio Perez explained to the AP means “packaging, graphic communications and functional printing,” all three based on Kodak’s commercial printing technology."
Kitty Fisher's insight:
Kodak has now seen the light at the end of the tunnel. So what will be next for the company giant?

If you’re shooting into the light, then you’re going to encounter lens flare at some time or another. This happens when you’re looking at the sun, or even just a single light source, such as a flashlight. Often lens flare is undesired, and it can be removed with a simple trick, but for the purpose of this post, we want it. This is something I’ve written about in the past, and the main points you want to remember is to use spot metering mode on your subject, and expose accordingly. By that, I mean that if you want to prevent your subject from becoming a silhouette, then it’s best to set your to camera manual, and adjust the exposure yourself.

Flowers are one of my favorite photography subjects. They can’t complain if the photo doesn’t come out right. Flowers also look very different when shot from different angles and zoom levels. Explore the flower from these different angles to get completely new photos. While taking photos indoors, the two most important things to keep in mind are lighting and background.."

"The answer is yes... and no. The simple rule is that you can photograph nearly all public places and spaces. You can also photograph people in public as long as it falls under editorial content. What is editorial content in regards to photographing people? How does it differe from photographing people in another manner? Editorial content tells a story, shows an environment, records an event. The subject matter is the image as a while - any people in the photograph are a component of the story. They are not the story itself. This is different from portraiture, you are photograpghing a person as the subject matter and the photograph is meant to capture her likeness."
Kitty Fisher's insight:
Knowing when to take pictures of people or where? Whether of not your on military or government property, you can't but in a crowded area or a parade you can.

Perfect exposure settings: Reciprocity is the law of the relationship between shutter and aperture. It stipulates that one stop increases in aperture is equivalent to the shutter duration doubling. Both increase light by one stop. In addition to this the photographer may wish to over expose or under expose. Understanding the law of reciprocity allows them to do this in a controlled and intuitive manner, understanding the exposure differences on the image PLUS the different changes to the depth of field or any motion blur increase or decrease. Sometimes however, the aperture you want and the shutter speed required do not give an adequate exposure with the available light (either natural or including flash). Fortunately there is another variable which effects exposure with the same degree of effect and working in the same measurements of stops of light.This is ISO and refers merely to the cameras sensor’s sensitivity to light. You therefore have THREE variables at your disposal. Each however alter the image beyond just the brightness of the final image.

This mode breaks a scene up into chunks, each of which are measured independently. And then, after a microsecond of thought juggling such factors as where the focus point is and whether you’re shooting a landscape or a portrait, works out what the correct exposure should be. Well…usually. There are one or two situations where a camera lightmeter gets things spectacularly wrong. Unfortunately, although lightmeters are astonishingly clever they can also be incredibly dumb.
Kitty Fisher's insight:
Light meters can be a the downfall of us all. Funny enough, Light meters are always messing up or are generally of no-use. Unless you know how to use them right and how you can tweek them to your personal style.
