Usefull links about photography.

Well here we are again with a new blog. This time we have been hunting around the net to find usefull links for photographers to gather info that will help them to understand their camera's better and also to help them make better pictures. Why do we do this? Since we allow every type of photographer in our group. Which means beginners too. Altho we ask HQ shots which arent easy for beginners to do because they need to learn working with their equipment. And also figuring out which setting work or not in a certain situation. So by posting and gathering information about basics and more we hope to help out those who are in need of information. Since internet is huge and contains so much information that often the search to find whats important first or matters is out of sight.

So in this blog entry we will provide information covering the very basics of photography.

Many people buy a camera whether its a hybrid of full dslr camera. And when they open the package they see a thick manual which contains so much info that by the time they read through it they already forgot the first chapters. Plus a manual never tells you exactly which settings to use under which condition. Now our challenge was to find links to online lessons which explains why you use a certain setting or settings for a certain situation. I have been digging around the inet and ofcourse the very basics to learn the camera is to know what M, S, A and P means on the camera. Ofcourse there are already some tutorials here on deviantart that cover those.

Use of P, A, S, and M modes by
Use of PASM modes.
ShutterSpeed, Aperture and ISO by
Shutterspeed, Aperture, ISO
Covering composition by

These are the very basics. As for links to "school" like lessons visit the links provided below. Which also cover intermediate type information about photography, camera's, equipment and post production.

Hey Everybody,

Previous journal was pretty short on Capture Life Photography..mainly because i was in a real rush to get things done and continue and tackle a real life issue.

Now with more time on my hands i can explain what Capture Life Photography group stands for and goal is.

Capture Life Photography is all about photography. Also everybody is welcome to join whether you are amateur or pro. But we do expect quality shots since we dont go for quantity. We want quality shots who are sharp, got decent composition and make everything work within each element on its own. We got different types of galleries that together cover a wide range of subjects. As time will pass by we might add more galleries for specific subjects. But thats something that will be done in future as the group grows.

So basically if you are into photography and you know your camera and you have some great shots feel free to check us out by clicking on the button below. You will get redirected to the group and you can check if you like what you see.

At this point we do NOT have a limit on how many submissions you can make. But please to think about when you have a serie of shots of the same subject to choose one which you think is the best instead of every single photo in the serie. As stated earlier we look for good quality shots.

Still interested?

Join Capture Life Photography Group.
Show what you capture in your life.

Alright peepies

Here i am again. Again? Yes again!

I wanted to point out that i made a group today which focus on photography. So if you love photography got good quality shots drop by join me and submit your work to the designated galleries of subject.

DOOOO ITT and lets make it a great success

Ok i have been fiddlin around with this camera lately .. upped some pieces ofcourse i dont know jack *** about it but i think they came out nice...Now my sister said well its an expensive hobby but forgot to mention aswell that it can be friggin addictive.

Now if anybody knows some good tutorials about exposure, shutterspeed and other usefull stuff then link me to it on here or some other good website about photography cuz i wanna learn more about that so i can actually test and apply it when i go out to take pictures.

So if you got some information that could help or information that is usefull i would really appriciate it.

Alright here is I again!

I always hate writing these things cuz i dont know what to put in it altho enough happend to write a whole novell around it. But not gonna bore you guys with it.

First of all...i am still alive as you can see. I havent been abducted by aliens but i did get abducted voluntaraly by somebody ...and it was awesome!!! I love abductions

Anyways during those days i had the time take a look at a new camera. Was in doubt whether i should get a hybrid camera or dslr. A hybrid camera should fit perfectly since it will be mainly used to make stock pictures when i need them and cant find the right one i need. But looking at what i needed i came to the conclusion to add 100 bucks more and get an dslr. Which last one turned out to be right choice. I am still messing around with what the camera does. Since i wont be using it for professional use and i am far from a decent photographer i went for a decent model camera which was easy in use and already would have a decent amount of presets in it to cover the basics.

Anyways for the rest of the last period i havent been making a lot. Just some random things for friends which arent going to be posted. But stay tunes since i am working on a new material pack and c4d package.

Its been some time since i even visited DeviantART. Lots of things happend and are still happening...at this moment nothing but bad things but nothing i cant manage. I still have an unfinished renderpack hanging around my HDD and some still to render c4d's. Which i hope to be able to add to my renderpack really soon.

I am also going to work again on my website...i want to start selling some templates that i made and dont use. So instead of let them go to waste on my pc's harddrive i thought to put them up on sale. But more about that when i figured out how i want to set things up. Second on the website will be tutorials. Going to add tutorial about all sorts of things and i hope they will help people to find their way inside photoshop and cinema4d.

I also going to kick everything aside soon and give my life a full 360 and going to aim when i got the money together for getting on with my study in communication and multimedia design aiming to get that bachelor degree. So keep crossing fingers for me cuz at this moment i will be needing it.

I would say stay creative and look around there is enough to get idea's and creativity from.

P.S. I would like to say sorry for all my late replies and i also would like to thank everybody for their fav's on my work and resources.

Twitter

Since i have been redoing my whole website and it slowly starts feeling like my online home i thought to add some twitterish to it. So from now on you can be up to date with how everything is going graphics wise and a bit private wise.

Click twitter in the above menu and it will take you to the twitter page of shiver09

If you want to distribute my renderpacks and material sets on your own forum you are free to do so as long credit is givin and you use the links i provided and are stated in the description. Also please use my own preview images.

I get lots of questions from people if they are allowed to post my resources on other forums or websites. And because i'm lazy to type it over and over again i thought up a few things that i want to see when my resources are being distributed on other websites.

So following rules apply to everybody who want to use my resources on their graphics forums or websites:


First of all give credit & note me

Link back to my DA page

Use my preview images

Use my provided download links.

If i uploaded the file to da itself use the link of that item. Not the direct download link. This is mainly about the material sets.

Renderpacks are uploaded to megaupload and you can find the download link of the render packs in their discription area.

As you can see its not a long list of things i want to see happening so its also not impossible to do.

Enjoy the resources and hope they are usefull for your community members.

Whoohoooooooo i'm back again...house is still a friggin mess but fook dat i got teh internetz again

Thats right... Oh Damn!

Last week the final part of the paperwork for getting the house was accepted and approved. So financial part and all is DONE!..I'm getting the house and the keys...on the first of may. Got an appointment at the notary to sign the papers etc. And thats the day that i'm stuck for 30 years of payments for a house. Is this good or not? We shall see what life brings us.

As for the rest...soon my internet will be disconnected and reactivated at the new address. IF it goes as planned i should get the connection going again around 20th of may. I don't think i will get the time to do some designing in between. But once everything is set i will make some new material sets, render packs, abstract pieces etc.

As for people who have me on msn. I changed ID so feel free to add jdluxe@live.nl to your msn list and delete mshock@live.nl from your list since it will be deleted after the moving. But be patient i don't know how much i will be online after the first of may so it can take some time till i accept your request.
