Photographer Ken Rockwell - Photo Composition Storyhttp://www.silberstudios.tv Photographer Ken Rockwell joins Marc Silber again to talk about how he captured his award winning shot "Mono Lake Under Pinatubian Light," which refers to the special quality of light that happened after Mount Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991. The ash entered the upper atmosphere and for months we had very weird light, especially after sunset. This image was made about 15 minutes after sunset, in fact all the other photographers had left by then. Ken said "always look where other aren't!"
Ken tells how he captured this photo, using a camera that was out of repair, but knew how to compensate for its errors and still come away with an outstanding image!

Marc's Photography Tips: Choosing Black and White Versus Colorhttp://www.silberstudios.tv Digital photography is an amazing medium in which photographers can shoot their pictures and then determine if the picture will be shown in color or black and white.
Andy Katz, a forty year photography veteran, shares his experience and provides tips for shooting in both black and white as well as color, on the Marc Silber Show.
For professional photographers, the question boils down to "is the color helping or hindering the photograph?" If the color is hindering the beauty or quality of the photo, then use the Silver Efex Pro software to convert the photograph to black and white this works extremely well because you can't tell the original photo was shot in color.

Photography Tips From Fine Art Photographer Huntington Witherillhttp://www.silberstudios.tv Fine art photographer Huntington Witherill joins us today on the Marc Silber show to share tips about photography and his views on the process as a whole. He reminds us that it is important to focus on the process of being the photographer rather than constantly looking to get the next photograph or image.
A passion for the medium is one of the most important components—being engaged and passionate about anything takes a lot of patience, persistence and hard work. Huntington also advises people to get rid of preconceptions when going out to a location to shoot photos. It's easy to carry a preconceived idea when you're going to a specific place, but you might happen upon something completely different that creates an amazing photo. As for practical tips, he believes that 2D design classes are helpful for visualizing composition for photographs. Learning how to arrange forms and lines is useful for creating balance and a sense of purpose in a photograph.
Photography Tips from Commercial Photographer Vincent Laforethttp://www.silberstudios.tv Commercial photographer Vincent Laforet joins us today on the Marc Silber show to talk about his approach to photography. He provides us with photography techniques and tips for both amateurs and professionals alike. For six years, Vince was a photojournalist for the New York Times, where he worked on a team that won the Pulitzer Prize for its 9/11 coverage. As a photojournalist, Vince often had to choose a single image that most accurately captured the essence of an event.
He advises people to put the camera down, walk around, and ask themselves a series of questions, such as "What really is special about this place?" Learning about the history of a photo shoot location or finding the best time of day for shadows and lighting is just as important for creating a great photo composition. When looking through the lens, a photographer needs to make sure that a photo will elicit emotions and thoughts.
Vince points out that many people romanticize the life of a photographer - they forget about the preparation and packing of equipment that accompanies every photo shoot. Carrying too much equipment slows down the photographer and may result in missed images and opportunities, not enough and you can also miss shots, so do your research and be prepared including your memory cards.
Landscape Photography Composition Tips from Joseph Holmeshttp://www.silberstudios.tv Joseph Holmes, a Berkeley-born landscape photographer who's been a fine art photographer since the late 1960's, joins us today on Advancing Your Photography to share his photo composition tips! Joseph's goal is to take pictures that change people's outlook on the world, and composition is the most important tool a photographer has, especially in landscape photography as it is one of the few factors you can control.
So how does one take a life-changing photo? Holmes says that you need to work very hard and explore every photography technique so you can recognize "the shot" when you see it. His composition tip is one that many beginners forget: don't ignore the edges of your photos! Watch the full interview for these tips and more on taking landscape photos! check out his website http://www.josephholmes.com/

AYP| Pro Tips: Photoshop Tips & Techniques - Ken Rockwellhttp://www.silberstudios.tv In this video, photographer Ken Rockwell joins us to demonstrate the basics of using Adobe Photoshop to touch up and edit photos. Ken first picked up a camera at the age of 5, and since then has learning and testing cameras for over 20 years.
Additionally, he has been studying digital imaging since the 1970s, so he is very familiar with the art of image processing. Ken goes over the basics of burning and dodging to create contrasts that can either draw the viewer's eye away or towards a focal point. He demonstrates the usage of layers and masks in Photoshop to lighten and darken photographs. One of the main points he emphasizes is that adjustments on photos must always be subtle, to make them look as natural as possible. If anyone notices the dodging and burning, the magic of the photograph is lost.

Photographer Jack Hutch - Photography Tips and Techniqueshttp://www.silberstudios.tv Based out of the San Francisco Bay Area, commercial photographer Jack Hutcheson has taken numerous photographs of landscapes, architecture, and people, including a number of campaigns for famous clients like Apple, Time Magazine and Adobe. Today, he joins us in this video with Mar Silber to talk about shooting and lighting tips for aspiring photographers.
Jack strongly advises people to loosen up when they're shooting photographs--experimenting with techniques and keeping an open mind will allow them to shoot better photos. The same method can be applied to lighting--intesad of worrying about the exact technical aspects, experiment with different light sources to find one that fits the scene. For example, Jack once used the headlights of his car as a light source, which was perfect for his photo shoot. He also touches upon the specifics of f-stop speeds and aperture sizes that are a good starting point for sharp images.
